Why is it stupid? Because one of the missions of the F-35 is to provide CAS? Are you even aware what CAS means?

I'm going to wait for reports from CENTCOM to be released rather than rely on the copium of a few unknowns claiming this was the result of some vaunted Iranian AD system that hasn't been neutralized yet.

You are normally a sane person but occasionally your conceited strain pops up....F35 is a very expensive fighter and is not well optimised for gun runs ....when you have the likes of F 16s , F18s and F 15s why would you risk F 35 ?

Because of all the fake videos posted here to date, until I see an actual photo of the damage to the aircraft involved, am going to chalk this one up to being suspect.

And Centcom with tell you the truth….

Really?

One aircraft allegedly hit out of how many thousands of sorties to date?

I agree with you on this.

A clear pattern needs to emerge of multiple successful engagements either writing off or destroying enemy jets.

For now, USAF/IAF retain air superiority. Even with this one succesful strike (assuming aircraft is written off), I don't see how that calculus has changed.

2 or 3 more though, within a quick time frame, then this concept can be revisited.

I don't think so, there has been no movement of any type on the Taiwan-China front.

Islamabad has so far presented itself as a "neutral" party in the conflict, condemning the US-Israeli strikes on Iran as well as castigating Tehran for its attacks on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries..

What did Arab and Muslim ministers discuss in Riyadh meeting on Iran?

Foreign ministers formulate a unified response to Iranian strikes, asserting their right to self-defence.

Pak has somewhat waived its neutrality.
"Foreign ministers formulate a unified response to Iranian strikes, asserting their right to self-defence." Also, they condemn attacks on Lebanon but not on Iran.

Nations will do what is in their own strategic interests? Why are you surprised by this?

You know better, sir that's how we decide.
I am sure the Iran war cannot resurrect any sectarian rivalry. Other than that, we need to deal with short-term issues like energy, fertilisers and remittance. However, the long-term goal should be if Iran loses, then our lifeline will be under direct/indirect control of Israel.
Israel will be the regional hegemon, it is strongly present in UAE, which has a defence deal with India. Not to mention the cosy fatherland thing.

Because, my friend, that was one of the mission requirements from the Marines when the F-35 was being designed. Also from the Air Force because they've been trying to mothball the A-10 for 20 years now.

Never mind the fact that everyone with a brain knew that such a requirement was ridiculous for that type of airframe but by golly gee, they went ahead and did it anyway.

Blasts heard over Jerusalem as new strikes launched on Tehran

Elsewhere in the region, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain both say they have intercepted and destroyed drones.

I think that's what I said earlier. Every country in the region will have to decide which side to support.

For those who are going to reply with "but! But! What about all the drones?"

BFD....slow moving targets and while expensive, expendable compared to an F-35. You don't see Reapers conducting airstrikes along the Turkmenistan or Afghan borders, do you?
