@Justin_Br0nk Good Q on the MAWS. Already out of flares and on the way back?

If genuine: A pop up attack with an IR sensor tracking the F-35 from the ground. Likely seen flying by day Iran has small IR SAMs derived from Soviet AAMs like R-27T/ET. Might also be Saqr-1/2 (358/359) loitering SAM Q: why didn’t F-35 EO/IR/MAWS warn the pilot, deploy flares?

@GarethJennings3 Especially given how tightly packed (engine, fuel, avionics, etc) into the airframe everything is in the F-35.

IF this footage is real (and it's a big if), it speaks to the survivability of the F-35 that it could absorb this and return to base presumably many miles from where it was hit.

Photographed in colour on 26th September 1909, this amazing autochrome by Léon Gimpel is entitled "The Balloons on the Esplanade des Invalides" which captures the Parisian launch of several gas balloons (as opposed to modern hot-air balloons) participating in a long-distance race organized by the Aéro-Club de France. It is an original colour process from 117 years ago and isn't colourised.

Look at the state of this. Have to hope it's AI.
