The Israeli jets were downed on Friday. According to reports, the pilot of one of these warplanes, who is a woman, has been captured.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has vowed a crushing response to Israel’s acts of aggression.
The Israeli regime attacked a number of residential neighborhoods of Tehran and locations in other parts of Iran in the early hours of Friday.
IrAn hAs bAcKwArD mIlItArY cApaBiLiTiEs but can shot down a brand new F35, as a Canadian I cannot wait for Canada to spend 29 billions for like 16 F35 !
Really hope we go with the Gripens instead.
Iran is ANTI SEMETIC for Not allowing Israel to BOMB THEM!
You are PARTICULARLY obnoxious posting the EXACT same joke on two different news stories within seconds with BAFFLING capitalization
Also, he spelled Semitic wrong both times!
That’s just Semantics or something…
I think the capitalization is less baffling if you’ve ever received an email from Trump inviting you for an exclusive trip to Mar-a-Lago, or offering you one of his exclusive gold watches. I have no idea how they got my email, but they were sending them so frequently I actually blocked them.
Bait used to be believable smh.
That’s what makes it funny though
Did it start updating mid flight or something?
It was a Boeing
is that like like a Moray?
BSOD
Bombed Spiral Of Death
John deere makes planes now?
Oh sorry I thought this was a Windows 11 jet for some reason I think these are still running Windows Phone tho
Back in the 90s phones used Windows CE, which appropriately abbreviated to WinCE. Fuck that OS, worse than Vista/ME.
An F35? You sure Iran downed it? Could have been a software update.
It’s not called a flying cybertruck for nothing.
Yeah honestly this is like the Tesla “bomb” - until more information comes out to show otherwise it just did that.
Admittedly the Tesla didn’t just do that, but still…
I can’t believe no one reposted that picture during the cat fight.
This is from a different crash https://theaviationist.com/2024/05/28/f-35-crashes-near-albuquerque-new-mexico/
Pic must have been for illustrative purposes because Iranian media now reports it. Will change link to Iranian article.
First downed by anything other than normal operation and bad design
Guessing Israel wants to use that stealth capability while it can before Trump causes the program to shutter and leaks shit to Russians dChina, who’d eventually share with Iran. Flex the muscle while you can, before the cat is out of the bag (or some other mixed metaphor)
Does this have any credible source reporting on it, just curious since this image is not a recent image.
Reports of Iranian media on it now
Not sure that’s a credible source. Didn’t Iranian media claim they destroyed dozens of F-35s in missile strikes of Israeli airfields last October and then it turned out to be completely fake?
I checked with the Nazi AI and Iran did not make this claim.
A few Twitter users made this claim, but it cannot find Tasnim state media or the Iranian army making this claim of destroying grounded Israeli F35’s in 2024.
Based on the available information, there is no direct evidence that the Iranian army claimed through their state media that they bombed 20 Israeli jets in 2024. *nstead, this specific claim appears to have originated from other sources, such as Israeli sources and IranIntl (a Persian-speaking Israeli outlet), rather than from Iranian state media outlets like Tasnim News Agency or statements directly attributed to the Iranian army or the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).
It even states that this misinformation about 20 destroyed jets originated from Israeli sources which is interesting. Not sure if true but at least not from Tasnim.
This is not snark, it’s genuine concern: are you doing research by asking AI bots questions? If so, for the love of God please stop, you’re ruining your brain. This information is freely available from any search engine if you use the date feature. I used Kagi to find these in like, 5 minutes:
Yes. Google and other DDG are awful at finding any article and quote from the past when it comes to Israel except if it says ‘Israel has the right to defend itself am yisrael chai Hamas terrorists’. AI does not always get it correct but it makes far fewer mistakes and will actually show me articles not from NYT or Reuters, which Google frequently literally refuses to do even when verbatim typing a sentence from that site.
According to the same AI Tehrantimes is not Iranian state media, whereas Tasnim is. A quick search confirms this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran_Times
Furthermore Forbes quotes Tehrantimes. Tehramtimes attributes the claim to an IRGC general Ebrahim Jabbari . Hovewer reading the Tehrantimes article, it only claims what title says this in the summary which weird. Now here is what is likely the full quote which I found by searching on Ebrahim Jabbari 20:
Iranwire:
Ebrahim Jabbari, an advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claimed, "Based on the information received, it is likely that around 20 Israeli fighter jets were destroyed." However, no evidence was provided to support it.
“Even if the exact number is lower, the key point is that we were able to inflict heavy blows on their security, military, and economic centers,” he added.
So after using a search engine myself I conclude that the Nazi AI was correct and that Tehrantimes misquoted the Iranian army general which made a vague bombastic quote instead of using concrete numbers.
The current article says 2 and is a direct claim by the Iranian military. It might still be fake but at least it not a “possibly 2”.
I mean sources of this war is israel and iran. There is no completely credible way to verify anything
People forget Iran is still one of the largest countries and has access to Russia, China and global south resources even if the west denies their existence
I didn’t know, had to look it up, 17th biggest.
Removed by mod
I need a fat video confirmation or nothing happend lol
Cmon there’s gotta be some soldier who took a photo or video
Initialen reports said Iranian army confirmed it. So far no updates. Usually when it is a dud there is no followup.
Hiding this post for now unless more confirmation comes out.
F-35? If yes, Germany should cancel the fucking order.
They are so good at vertical lending it doesn’t even need the pilot’s consent
Gotta buy some to dissect; normally you have to capture your enemy’s planes, being able to just buy them is great
They have an incredible weakness to passive infrared missiles
Did know that and thanks for info +1.
Nah, build the planes and send them to Ukraine. Deny the Fascists twice in one move.
Iran shot down 3 F-35s.
