| Iran Downs Another USAF F35 Stealth Jet by MagicBishop(op): 7:09am On Apr 03 |
These are supposed to be stealth by the way and invincible to ground radar. Iranians have posted pics of parts of a downed USAF F35 fighter jet they shot down yesterday. The F35 is stealth and supposed to be invincible to radar detection but Iran has been relying on advanced Infra red detection to identify and take out these wunderwaffen. This is the third F35 taken out by Iran. The aircraft fragments were recovered from an Iranian Island on the Persian gulf just SE of the mainland. The pilot did not survive. 3 Likes 1 Share

From the last pic above, we can see the decales on the fuselage with an inscription ''Europe'' clearly visible. This is the insignia of a USAF squad team based in Germany. The USAFE is based in Germany and is part of a dedicated NATO fleet. As per wikipedia: United States Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) operates a formidable mix of fighter, tanker, and bomber jets to support NATO, primarily featuring F-35A Lightning II, F-15E Strike Eagle, and F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft. Key bases at RAF Lakenheath (UK), Ramstein (Germany), and Spangdahlem (Germany) host these jets, with frequent rotations of B-52H Stratofortress and B-1B Lancer bombers. 1 Like

Floky215:At least you are not denying it was a USAFE NATO designated fighter jet. From : US has total air dominance to now saying their pilots can't die once their rust buckets get hit by Iranian missiles. 3 Likes

[quote author=MagicBishop post=138977446][/quote]With Europe inscripted on that aircraft you still believe it was a US air craft. Una brain seems to be working anti clock wise |

Floky215:The goal post shifting copium guzzler is you who could not deny that this was an F-35 downed jet but could only pick on the dead pilot . A fighter jet gets a direct hit by an Iranian hypersonic missile that the pilot never saw coming and you said he survived the impact ? So all US fighter jets have some form of force shields now that protect the pilot during a direct misile hit. You see the wreckage and you still claim the pilot survived being hit by a missile travelling at mach 8. There are also videos of the missile targetting system showing it hit the downed jet. Let me go find it and paste it here. 2 Likes |

They locked onto an F-35 jet, but the pilot successfully evaded it using decoy flares. The missile’s explosion fragments caused minor damage to the aircraft, and the pilot landed safely. |

ruggedtimi:That's the stabilizer fin and all USAF aircrafts have their own custom paint job. Some are saying its an F-15 tho. 1 Like

MagicBishop:It's high time they removed stealth from the name .. it's just F35 jet now |

Came4amod:They produce a very high heat signature. The Chinese have gifted the Iranians heat seeking sensors that detect and guide heat seeking hypersonic missiles on their targets. Speaking of radar deflecting stealth aircrafts, this is a one off weapon as any advanced nation can simply go back and dis scramble the radar signatures after a stealth bombing raid and recallibrate their radars going forward to detect same stealth jets. This is why there is so much secrecy around the US strategic stealth bombers like the B-2 and their take off bases and time is heavily kept secret because once the Russians or Chinese know about them being in the air, they can use their space based radar system to scan the projected route for abnormal distortions in the radar band. 1 Like |

MagicBishop:B2 bombers fly at very high altitudes .. so it's rearly seen or detected |
