After taking off at 10:54 a.m. PDT, NASA's quiet supersonic X-59 aircraft returned prematurely following a return-to-base call. The pilot and aircraft landed safely and successfully. More information is forthcoming.

@the_heckboy @escapefrommelos chinook is a miscode. both are poseidons for terrain surveying for wreckage(s). 2nd one was sent after the rumors of 2nd F-35 shotdown.

>The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point.
>Iran apparently didn’t get the memo.
It landed safely. So… They achieved the equivalent of a bird strike.
Iran manages to damage a single plane and they act like the US lost the war.

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

@GPhapkun76058 @escapefrommelos Also chinooks have a ceiling of 20,000ft. At least one of these images is complete bullshit
English
@escapefrommelos This is a god tier cope of incredible quality. I guess these SAR aircraft were simply looking for pennies
English
@GPhapkun76058 @escapefrommelos Ah yes cause SAR is conducted at 27,000ft

@Brooo6217630 @escapefrommelos Stealth from radar, not IR.
It does matter if it landed cause it means it wasn’t shot down. Lol
English
@escapefrommelos It was supposed to be untouchable. It doesn’t matter if it still landed. The “stealth” myth is shattered

Just paid $85 to fill up a Toyota Camry.
Not a truck.
Not an SUV.
A freaking CAMRY.
Buckle up.

Mind you this is a stealth plane being locked onto 😭
Hussein of the south@EyesOnSouth1
Iran released footage of targeting and hitting an F-35 This is the first ever direct hit a US F-35 takes in combat. If downed, this is a major development. CNN, citing a US official, reported that an F-35 damaged by Iranian fire made “emergency landing.”
English
@AUncreativeUser @tvnkth Lol we have almost 1300 f35s and one finally got shot, not even down. It’s a war plane, it’s gonna be flying in war. The edge is still plenty sharp.
English
@tvnkth this looks like an IR feed, which makes sense as to why it could be locked onto.
Amerikkka lost their edge, because no way would they have put the plane into a position where this is possible

@KlutchNizar @BPP0410 @Mbakaza4L When gang violence isn’t counted as mass shootings, you get stats like this. Blacks still commit mass shootings at a higher rate, and mass shootings make up only about 2% of gun violence. Lol
English
Imagine using your last words to blame black people for gun violence only to be immediately killed by a white republican with a rifle
Alley Files@alleytopfiles
Another video This sound sure doesn’t make sense. Sounds like a paintball gun not a rifle.

@Lemommeringue These people just want to have a power fantasy that's it. They're the same people who like Yellowstone and the whole outlaw lawless land. Taking the law into your own hands f*** the government. Not realizing that's the type of world where you get families murdering each other.

@the_heckboy @Oldbellercullen @davepn78 @CrusaderBear333 @yvessirae are you a snowflake? why are you upset
English
English
@the_heckboy @davepn78 @CrusaderBear333 @yvessirae That’s crazy bc they’re the first in like to excuse the murder of any human being that isn’t up to their standards.
English
@Oldbellercullen @davepn78 @CrusaderBear333 @yvessirae I don’t see the conservatives wishing death on people lol
English
@the_heckboy @davepn78 @CrusaderBear333 @yvessirae If the way conservatives speak about human being doesn’t bring to to slight derangement then I would love whatever drugs your on.
English
@CrusaderBear333 @yvessirae Nobody has said she was an illegal immigrant, way to leap for the conclusion that makes you feel better 😞 even if she was illegal she deserved a chance in life but hey I hope I.C.E kills someone you know/cares about

@MarshallTaylor_ @ninaturner He was literally not a threat, according to the narrative. Witnesses matter, and you weren’t there. God bless.

But people seem to have forgotten Keith Porter, Jr., killed by an ICE agent.
Harry Eccles@Heccles94
We have not forgotten that ICE murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti

@RalphC1401 @3A_Advocate @cturnbull1968 I’d say with the shoe bomber alone, they’ve failed. Along with the remedial shit that I’ve dealt with. Also plane terrorism in the USA is a dead horse.
English
@the_heckboy @3A_Advocate @cturnbull1968 I’m not saying your wrong I’m just saying it’s very difficult to say “did they prevent” because it’s impossible to measure
English
Congratulations, Republicans, this is on you.
Democrats wanted a standalone bill to fund TSA but Republicans would rather see 5 year old immigrant children punched in the face by masked ICE agents.

Here is your 6AM Departures Hall check-in! We are seeing very long lines for TSA screening and airline bag check. We encourage you to get here 2.5 hours before your domestic flight, 3 for international.
