Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

Any ideas what SAM was used to track and fire at the F-35?
The explosión It is too big to be an Majid or 358 missile, that by the way, are too slow for them.

You can see how F35 turns on the afterburner just trying to deplete the missile engine. But F35 top speed barely reach 1,4 mach.
 
Iran is the first country in history to have directly hit a 5th generation stealth fighter jet during a full scale war under constant bombardment

The explosion is huge, the claims that it landed in emergency are doubtful

We will know soon. Hope Irán did History again. It is too big to hide. And also suggest that Islamic Republic has hidden more SAM systems and can work passively also

significant achievement, given they were under sanctions most of the time

next time, they will probably shoot more.

Trump lying is not supposed to be a surprise

Iran's AD has been severely degraded but never 100% destroyed as they claim

It's not 358 or small SAM, it's probably a medium range system similar to 3rd Khordad

The F-35 didn't even release flares or hard maneuver before getting hit, meaning it was caught in an ambush
 
This changes everything.
If just one of those are shoot down all the war is over. That would mean Irán can track and shoot down 5 gen aircraft and therefore russians and Chinese also.

It does seem to suggest an IR guided platform both for initial target tracking and terminal engagement( both a guess on my part), with a small warhead, so possibility a mobile type based platform ? The F-35 did not know it was being targeted, which is significant.

Emirzad or Persian Gulf may be able to give a better indication of the type of platform that may have achieved this hit.
 
They have the will to fight and their target is martyrdom. Hard to go through an enemy like that.

It appears like Iran is the Japan of 1945 and the Strait of Hormuz is like the Iwo Jima of 1945.

Either the pilot ejected "back" over friendly skies, or the plane will be a write off given the nature of the explosion.

I agree.. Trump will not be stupid to hurt F-35 brand as it has customers who are paying more then value of this brand
