Iran is ANTI SEMETIC for Not allowing Israel to BOMB THEM!

I saw an Israeli woman crying because the house that was GIVEN to her blew up. And I can’t but sit back and sip my tea. As I said. Karma will do what karma does.

Headline writers believe there are two genders: pilots and female pilots.

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.

Oh sorry I thought this was a Windows 11 jet for some reason I think these are still running Windows Phone tho

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Back in the 90s phones used Windows CE, which appropriately abbreviated to WinCE. Fuck that OS, worse than Vista/ME.

F-35? If yes, Germany should cancel the fucking order.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They are so good at vertical lending it doesn't even need the pilot's consent

They have an incredible weakness to passive infrared missiles

Did know that and thanks for info +1.

Iran shot down 3 F-35s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Gotta buy some to dissect; normally you have to capture your enemy's planes, being able to just buy them is great

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

Absolutely hilarious how the US bet the farm on this tech, and the first time it was tested against a serious military it turned out not to actually work. Who could've guessed.

Americans get conned by their rulers, again.

Pic must have been for illustrative purposes because Iranian media now reports it. Will change link to Iranian article.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

First downed by anything other than normal operation and bad design

Does this have any credible source reporting on it, just curious since this image is not a recent image.

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)

I need a fat video confirmation or nothing happend lol

Cmon there's gotta be some soldier who took a photo or video

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

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.
