The US military authorities have ordered the prevention of hundreds of warplanes from flying again due to the discovery of a malfunction in the emergency seats, which poses an imminent danger to pilots.

The "Breaking Defense" website, which specializes in military affairs, stated that the list of aircraft prohibited from flying includes most of the F-35 fighters, which are the most modern in the world.

A spokeswoman for the Air Combat Command in the US Air Force confirmed the temporary suspension of these advanced fighters.

The defect prevents the emergency seat or ejection seat from safely ejecting the pilot in the event of an emergency.

This seat works if the pilot feels danger, he can release his seat outside the plane as it is equipped with a parachute to ensure the safe landing of the pilot.

This threatens the safety of American pilots if they face danger, as the possibility of another malfunction in the plane is possible, which shows the urgent need to ensure the operation of the emergency seat.
