The 35 is vulnerable to passive infrared systems. Not to mention other issues.
X to doubt NGL, ill wait to see definite proof before making any conclusions. Very impressive if true though, wonder how tf the Israelis were using them to result in a shoot down if true.
Given that Yemen nearly managed to shoot one down, I don’t think it would be surprising. I agree we’ll need to wait to see some concrete evidence to definitively call it though.

Yeah I’ve seen that photo, frankly doesnt look real. Israeli F35s dont have a roundel in that location and the shape of the entire thing looks very off.
Yeah, does look like it’s fake looking closer.
Nice.
I’m not really on Iran’s side in this, but I hope they do as much damage as possible to Israel.
Let’s hope for a very quick stalemate.
Maybe it just did that
