How? He whole selling point of this plane is that it stays away from reach of enemies?

this pic is obviously AI, as F-35 is invisible

I’m a bit suspicious of the carrier returning to port with „Accidental“ fire damage a couple of days ago as well. Probably wouldn’t play well with the polls if it did get hit with something.
But yeah people tend to think Stealth is invisible to radar but that’s only true if the Jets maybe 20 miles away.

Stealth technology meets Iranian shrapnel. That’s an expensive oops.

Sounds expensive.

So.. If you can see it, shoot your shot. It looks like Iran purposely cut the video off right at detonation. So there’s a couple stills out showing right after the explosion. The jet is intact. Suggesting an explosion NEAR the jet. Yugoslavia did hit a Nighthawk.. so..

We can’t have universal health care, we can’t have functional infrastructure, we can’t have any relief from the insane cost of housing, but we can spend over a trillion dollars a year on the military in order to get dogwalked by a country with the GDP of Portugal

Nope, lies, it didn’t, it took a direct hit without any countermeasures from what I saw

Don’t know why everyone is so up in arms about this. It’s been operating in theater for 3 weeks and it’s the first one hit. I know we like our propaganda about „stealth“ things like they’re supposed to never be seen on radar, etc, but that’s not how it works. Comparing other platforms in other wars, i’d say 1 lost over hundreds, if not thousands, of sorties in 3 weeks is a pretty damn good record.

yea…..it got shot down. plain and simple.
Also this si really messed up, how come no one told the Iranians the f-35 was suppose to be invisible. like dude, not cool.

>Lockheed Martin’s fifth generation fighter comes in three main variants, and the program has moved from experimental lots costing well above $100 million per aircraft toward high volume production where recent average flyaway prices cluster around $82.5 million for the F-35A, $109 million for the F-35B and about $102.1 million for the F-35C, figures that exclude the engine, which currently adds roughly $20.4 million per jet in Lot 18.

If Iran starts shooting down US planes, I’ll eat my hat.
I’m guessing repairs on this thing is not already part of the $200 billion dollars that they’re wanting to prosecute this war.
