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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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