It was forced to land on its belly at Seosan Air Base south of Seoul when those problems caused the fighter\u2019s landing gear to malfunction, Yonhap reported, citing officials there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot was unharmed, Yonhap reported. A fire engine had sprayed a special foam on the runway to keep the jet from sustaining serious damage during the skid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Korea\u2019s air force plans to conduct a joint investigation with the U.S. military, Yonhap reported, and grounded its F-35A fighters in the meantime. South Korea plans to buy 40 F-35As in total, and has so far received more than 30 of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed Martin, which builds the F-35 Lightning II, said in a statement to Defense News it is \u201caware of the emergency landing that occurred Tuesday at Seosan Air Base and stand[s] ready to support the Republic of Korea Air Force.\u201d The company referred
