I’d love it if this was true, but let’s be a bit less credulous shall we? No photos, no evidence, no named quotes, no location.
Should be taken with a grain of salt till more evidence surfaces, they are claiming they captured a pilot. If that’s the case we’ll probably see some solid evidence soon. Given that Yemen nearly shot one down, I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch.
better pic
That is an f-16
seems like might be a generated image
Haha that’s fake as hell!
deleted by creator
update, there are pics now
These are fake, as mentioned elsewhere
ah, I guess we’ll have to wait some more
Definitely fake, likely a generated image.
Compared to a real F-35 the geometry doesn’t match up. If the wings and horizontal stabilizers broke off we would at the least see holes where they were supposed to be. The grass in the immediate vicinity would probably not be untouched like we see in the image. Lastly, AI struggles to differentiate between vehicle debris, building rubble, ashes, and clutter, so wreckage in those kinds of images tends to look like a mix of all of the above.
Im sure that Iran has the capability to down a vehicle of such a type, but I’m waiting for third-party confirmation before poppin bottles.
yeah seems like I jumped the gun on that one
I hope I didn’t make you feel bad :(
nah, it’s my bad for getting too excited
I think we all are to some degree. There’s a lot of shit going down and theres probably as much information warfare going on as there is actual warfare right now so I can’t really blame you.
For sure, and thanks for the kind words. :)
Yeah, intact fuselage too. That doesn’t happen.
Iran has not officially released ANYTHING. Iran has confirmed hits on 3 F35 planes and 1 F16 plane, but ANY PICTURE YOU SEE IS FAKE. Russia’s Sputnik has also reported one of those F35 hits.
Also, you know, the engine is still very much on.
(I do not want to make op feel bad either, def a nice analysis by Shaleesh too, the rear stabiliser is F22 shaped - but the engine, it’s just so funny to me how it’s the centrepiece of the pic, an image so unique and stand-outish it just triggers some situational/prop humour for me.)
This is not a true picture. This is an older MiG.
Imagine feeding AI slop to the masses & adding to the prompt “oh, and make it so that its anus is still glowing like it’s at full speed”
This is an older MiG plane, it has been mistakenly or maliciously resurfaced by media
Are we sure Iran shot them down? Maybe the F-35s just did that.
The F-35s yearn for the mines
It is a Boeing after all…
Unfortunately not true, it’s a Lockheed Martin.
On the bright side, the next generation of fighter is going to be a Boeing
ha
f-35 were designed to land anywhere.
so we can call it rapid unscheduled landing
or a lithobraking manoeuvre
F-7700
This is definitely not confirmed in any way yet.
Whether or not this is real, the F-35 makes a great reef
I think that the jet fuel and explosives and such might not be good for marine life
Agreed. But I’d rather them be underwater than in the air.
What did marine life ever do to you
Won’t the jet fuel just float?
Jet fuel can’t help seal and bream.
Jet fuel can’t melt seal breams
its too late at night to be reading things like this… i just shook the whole bed laughing and woke the dog and my partner up
I think jet fuel evaporates pretty quickly. Not great to drink or breathe in
unless an IDF troop is reading this in which case it has healing properties and you should breathe deeply when in the presence of jet fuel fumes
don’t breathe jet fuel
:sawgerrera-shining:
or bees… unless you’re a billionaire
Not great to drink or breathe in
The fish when they realize that technically they do both:
Yeah but it floats where the fish live
Confirmed??? This rocks.
Not sure if this one is confirmed either but here’s a photo:
EDIT: Probably fake
This doesn’t look like an f-35 at all to me. There is only one central tail rudder as opposed to two, as well as the side intakes look off. I’m not an expert on planes but this looks more like an f-16 to me.
Wikipedia says they have F-15s (which have two engines and rudders), F-16s, and F-35s. Unless it’s something else entirely, it’s an F-16. Good catch!
Saw on telegram they said this was fake
