for all the Iranian bots, Russian trolls and Chinese Wumao...

That's the fake ass video which appears to obliterate the F-35. It has already be debunked by dozens of sources. I suspect the real damage was more likely due to a manpad fired at the F-35 as he was tooling around at low altitude - aka "golden BB". For example, Wed. we saw UAE Mirage jets doing donuts over Iran at low altitude with impunity. This is indicative of what little threat there is left. x.com/Archer83Able/s…

@softwarnet @DrippaJoe You and i both saw where the impact was, and it surely wasn't coming in from the back or under the backside, it was a direct lower frontal impact...

The video is fake - The aircraft appears in a representation of a thermal imaging system - frame by frame viewing shows the thermal image of the jet exhaust contains shock diamonds that do not move. Shock diamonds (Mach diamonds) are dynamic flow features in a jet engine's exhaust plume. They form from repeating shock waves and expansion fans where the exhaust is supersonic (common in afterburner or high-thrust regimes). In real flight, especially under varying conditions the diamonds do shift position, stretch/compress, brighten/dim, or even disappear/reappear as the plume adapts. They are never perfectly static frame-to-frame over multiple seconds in genuine footage of a maneuvering aircraft. In thermal/IR imagery (what the clip purports to show via radar/IRST lock), the plume is one of the hottest, most prominent signatures on an F-35 (even with its cooled, shielded exhaust design). The completely motionless, unchanging plume (identical diamonds in the same positions across frames) screams static render or looped animation — typical of Flight simulators (e.g., DCS World, where users create Iran-vs-US strike scenarios and export thermal views). or Video game mods/clips (Arma 3, etc., have been repeatedly repurposed for "Iran shootdown" propaganda). This matches patterns from prior Iranian-claimed "F-35 kills" (especially 2025 incidents. ):Many turned out to be recycled simulator footage, AI-generated, or game clips (e.g., DCS Su-57 vs. SAM engagements mislabeled as F-35s). Iranian state/IRGC media has a track record of releasing hyped visuals that don't hold up to frame analysis — often radar blips or brief locks without verifiable impact/wreckage. Combined with the confirmed facts: US/CNN reporting only a damaged F-35 making a safe emergency landing (no total loss or mid-air breakup). No independent wreckage photos, pilot capture claims, or debris verification from Iran. The clip itself (from the @AryJeay post) is short (~6 seconds), shows lock/flash but no catastrophic destruction or follow-through. The static plume is essentially a smoking gun for fabrication — real combat IR footage of a high-performance jet under threat doesn't freeze like a screenshot or game still

Please take your meds today... (March 19, 2026): Netanyahu held his first in-person news conference in Jerusalem since the start of the conflict. During this event, he addressed "fake news" rumors regarding his health, declaring, "I am alive, and you are all witnesses". cnn.com/2026/03/19/wor…

@softwarnet Iran doesn't lie unlike America and Israel. When there leaders get killed they confirm it right away while Israel is hiding Netanyahus death.

9 year old account with 41 followers claims "Iran doesn't lie"... 4–6 distinct publicized claims in February and March based on separate IRGC statements, and PressTV articles - claiming to have sunk the USS Lincoln. Example from Iranian state media reporting one such claim presstv.ir/Detail/2026/03…

@rayincognito69 More likely a modified video from a Houthi engagement against Royal Saudi AF jets

@softwarnet It had been suggested this was a recording made from an Exercise simulation vs live fire Possible?

Tomcat SQN - attention

@Ika87408058 @DrippaJoe F-18 Hornet hit by IR SAM in Gulf War one - returned with pilot safe - to be fixed and put back into service

@DrippaJoe @softwarnet i'd imagine the plane gets ripped apart at that speed with the slightest impact of an object let alone shrapnel, i doubt an f-35 is made for durability lol
