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

[-] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 60 points 11 months ago

An F35? You sure Iran downed it? Could have been a software update.

[-] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago

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.

It's not called a flying cybertruck for nothing.

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.

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

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 20 points 11 months ago

They have an incredible weakness to passive infrared missiles

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.

First downed by anything other than normal operation and bad design

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

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in 10 points 11 months ago

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

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 months ago
[-] thundermoose@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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?

[-] rumimevlevi@lemmings.world 19 points 11 months ago

I mean sources of this war is israel and iran. There is no completely credible way to verify anything

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)

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I need a fat video confirmation or nothing happend lol

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

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months 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.
