@PigLazer -**Optically guided, not wire guided. Like starstreak for example. Sorry. I lapsed.

@PigLazer Agreed. I’m thinking wire guided SAM or MANPAD. Hard to believe an F-35 wouldn’t defeat any radar they might have.

Regardless if the footage is fake or not, an F-35 was hit by some sort of AA weapon. It landed and the pilot is fine. That's the bit that you should be interested in, an F-35 just took a missile to the face and walked away like it was nothing. That's pretty fucking impressive.

@ImAaronEColyer @PigLazer Other ways to guide a missile. They even make optically guided Surface to Air missiles now.

@PigLazer it made an emergency landing so not exactly walked away after taking a missile to the face... what's even more impressive is iran tracked and hit an f35 with no radars, lol didn't pedolf Shitler say they knocked out ALL of Iran's radar

@MichaelC92893 @DeTocqueville14 Hope so. I hope the regime over there burns in hell for killing 40k of there citizens for protesting.

@EdClay115 @DeTocqueville14 Im sure the 165 Iranian children burned alive find peace in the fact that they aren't casualties of war.

The Daily Wire thinks that it's hilarious that Trump pointed out that his attack against Iran is comparable to Japan's attack against Pearl Harbor

@thedukeliberty @DeTocqueville14 Not at all. They shouldn’t be doing surveillance on any Americans without cause. That person claim they have endured increased surveillance. I was just asking if there was cause.

@EdClay115 @DeTocqueville14 Is this a “you have nothing to hide if you’re not doing anything wrong” statement?

@BernieSanders Dude has a responsibility to shareholders. That is to run the business as efficiently as possible. Not a war against workers, just trying to make and keep as much as possible after you bloodsuckers give the illegals every possible gov handout.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@MichaelC92893 @DeTocqueville14 Glad I could help get you through your evening.

@EdClay115 @DeTocqueville14 I love this one.. dropping bombs on people isn't war unless 535 geriatric conman and inside traders say it is!

@Scaramucci You do if you need to arm a revolution.

You don’t ask for $200 billion if you don’t think it’s going to require ground troops.

@DeTocqueville14 Did they ask you? I’m just going by, you know, the rules that are in place. This is the same sort of thing as Venezuela. Not a declared war. Man, seems like this admin is after you. Taking rights. Surveillance. Now asking you to do propaganda. No wonder you’re so angry.

@EdClay115 By definition, it's a war. By the propaganda being pushed by low-IQ administration officials with no honor, it's a national security military operation. I'm not in the habit of repeating the propaganda that low-IQ people with no honor ask me to repeat.

@fringe_canuk @propandco Not gone . He landed safely . Likely a MANPAD. I bet he was low too.

@propandco That's $150 million gone. And if Iran can take one down it most surely will share the radar signature with every one of the USs adversaries rendering it obsolete

Wow. The F-35. Not so stealthy after all.

@Nostre_damus To arm the citizens and Kurds. That’s all it is.

Iran’s military budget is $10 Billion Pentagon asking for $200 Billion on top of the $1 trillion to fight Iran

@zhao_dashuai MANPAD. No defeating IR at very low altitude.

From the last frames of the F-35 being hit by Iranian air defense. It looks like some shrapnel got into the air intake and damaged the engine, but the airframe looked largely intact. The important thing here is not whether a F-35 was shot down, it was the fact that Iran's air defense was able to detect, track, lock onto and shoot and damage a F-35. This alone is a form of deterrence, forcing the US to continue using expensive standoff munitions with their non-stealth aircraft and avoid using F-35 with impunity.

@GeromanAT To supply the revolution with weapons. Duh. Hard to take over a government when they are the only ones with guns.

Why would you need 200 billion more if you have won that war 8 times already?

@leftcoastbabe @atrupar Mandami required it. You miss that?

@atrupar Is she that dumb or does she think voters are?

Katie Britt: "You can't go to work, you can't shovel snow in New York City without an ID"

@atrupar She isn’t wrong. You miss when Mandami required that?

@DeTocqueville14 You doing like Tucker is allegedly doing and talking to the Iranians?

@DeTocqueville14 Sure it’s an “act” of war. But war hasn’t been declared. By definition this is a national security military operation. Will be for up to 40 more days. It won’t take that long though. Why are you being survived more? What daily activities have been curtailed? 1/2

@Lowkey0nline They did not shoot down an F-35. They scratched one that landed safely.

"We’re flying wherever we want. Nobody is even shooting at us." Donald Trump, on the same day Iran shoots down an F-35 fighter jet.

@DeTocqueville14 What intrusion? What freedoms have you lost? I wouldn’t even call this a war. They threatened us. Now they deal with it. The fact we are killing the regime is just gravy. We will be out by the end of the month. The IRGC are defecting at an astronomical pace right now. We’re fine.

@EdClay115 Not being a stiff didn't change a thing. More debt, more war, more intrusion against individual freedoms. This cult of personality thing is a weird thing to be caught up in to me.

@Microinteracti1 They didn’t kill it.

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
