An Israeli Air Force F-35I Adir shot down an Iranian YAK-130 over Tehran, marking the first time an F-35 has ever downed a manned fighter jet. The last time Israel shot down an enemy aircraft was in 1985 over Lebanon.
The Iranian jet was a Russian-made YAK-130, mainly used as a training aircraft but also capable of light combat missions. The IDF also announced it had launched a tenth wave of airstrikes targeting Iranian regime infrastructure in Tehran.

No big surprises here really.

I’m guessing this wasn’t as much a dogfight as it was the F-35 destroying it before the other plane knew he was there.

Intercepted conversations were like “a trainer, versus a 5th gen” “It’s not the plane, it’s the pilot.” “Do some of that pilot shit”.

That’s not a fight of any kind. Barely qualifies as target practice.

Is no one going to mention the fact that they used a photo of planes that aren’t F 35 for the thumbnail and called them F 35’s in the caption?

In historic fight, an MMA champion beats a down syndrome man in a wheelchair and steals his lunch money.
An F35 shot down a YAK130 **trainer** jet. Is this what we’re so proud of?
