Did the Iran War prove the F-35's value? I don't think they shot down a single F-35.
>>65137613They damaged one, it made it back to friendly territory.gAy-10 fags seething RN.
>>65137613>Did the Iran War prove the F-35's value?Israel already ensured that the F35 would continue seeing future customers due to them dunking on Iran during their 12 day air war
>>65137739The A-10 was also damaged and made it back to friendly territory. It's just the mudhen cucks that get shot down.
>>65137613>I don't think they shot down a single F-35.What do you mean they didn't? Here is some proofs they did! :^)
>>65137783western media hides this
>>65137783You forgot the B-2s they got. Gotta admire the spirit of those people, what with standing up to giants 20x their size and all.
>>65137613Still haven't won and it is Trump that is always simpering for a truce. No refunds.
>>65137783The replies show the breadth of bots here baka
>>65137739>lifting body design>fbw that can fully compensate for the loss of both a wing and a tail>closed-loop electrohydraulic actuators for each control surface>engine not held in an exposed cowling from the fuselageEven ignoring the massive benefits of speed, stealth, EW, and situational awareness I'm not even shitting when the F-35 is a more durable design than A-10.
>>65137783>>65137865I feel so bad for the lilliputian Iranians, getting attacked by such massive superfortress buttfucking monolith planes. How do you stand up against a plane the size of your village?
>>65138313>botsB8, pathetic shill or bot thineself?
>>65138325What effect does the likely airspeed an airframe will be hit at matter?I assume, roughly, that an F-35 doing patrol or CAS will be traveling ~ 2x as fast as an A-10. So hit by the same missile, wouldn't windspeed and turbulence result in more damage, assuming everything else was equal?
>>65138359Because speed increases standoff for munitions and reduces the time within the engagement envelope of air defenses. It also fundamentally makes the missile work harder to intercept draining it of energy. An F-35 can go down to 100knots if it needs to. A A-10 can never go supersonic if it has to.
>>65138137Third worlders genuinely cannot understand the idea of caring about human life except as a weakness, that's so sad.
>>65137613F35s utterly mogged by super bugs. Lmao
>>65137783I can't believe Paul Bunyan's F35 got shot down...
>>65137767Well, except or the delays in arms shipments to allies and the withdrawals of regional assets, which has at least here in Finland caused doubts on whether making our air force reliant on US-supplied aircraft was a good choice. The disruptions came at a bad time, as we coincidentally got our first and only one in the air just as shit hit the fan. And the instance of Spain dropping the F-35 entirely, of course.What I'm trying to say, it doesn't matter how good the aircraft in question is, if the supplier for whatever reason has proven itself unreliable or unpredictable, and might just suddenly elect to instead keep the airframes and required support for itself.
>>65137613Until they fly over Iran we can all assume they're vulnerable to being shot down by them
>>65138632>And the instance of Spain dropping the F-35 entirely, of course.Spain never committed to actually buying F-35s.
>>65137865
>>65138648They had plans. Now they're looking at some turkshit instead.
>>65137613The F-35 that was hit was likely ditched in the Saudi desert so that counts as shot down if you want.Regardless, I don't think the greatest American military defeat since the war of 1812 is a good opportunity to advertise how epic your plane is. Especially considering how unreliable a partner the US is perceived as right now.
>>65137613Did it manage to achieve anything tho?
>>65137783>>65137865>>65138313>>65138354desu I read a lot of Iranian news websites and propaganda channels on TG (out of purely my God given curiosity) but I've never seen these images posted by an Iranian source.It's common for Iran to make a crazy claim;"We killed 6 gorillion US soldiers!" or "We shot down 420 F-67s." The interesting thing is when they make these claims, you'll always see additional quotes and spoofed images falsely attributed to Iranian media by either Western or Israeli media.My guess is that the average CNN boomer is just too dumb to comprehend how exaggerated or fictitious these statements already are, so we've got to invent some additional propaganda slop to really convince them.
>straight 5-6 posts of butthurt at the same time as always
>>65138714>it's mostly shitposting and a few serious posts. What are you on about?
>>65138718>stop nooooticing!!no
>>65138726>jidf appropriating the antikike nooticing memes nowthat doesn't work here
>>65138732>n-no! your n-not allowed to notice our shilling!!Fuck off.
>>65138733nice Christ pilled dubs but where is the shilling?
>>65138710The two particular images (F-35 and B-2) were initially spammed here for a couple hours last year after midnight hammer. They immediately received the mockery they deserved and quickly disappeared for anything other than mocking turdies. May or may not be Iranian in source but it was definitely plastered all over pro Iranian twatter and shill threads. I can't remember if they originally popped up on /pol/ or if they first showed up here.
>>65138736>six shill posts in a row>"lol where's the shilling?"
>>65138762>pro Iranian twatter and shill threadsTo be honest, I've never seen this posted on pro-Iranian Twitter. But I also don't follow every random Amir from Alborz. The usual (((offender))) for this kind of slop is pic related. That or you're getting baited by the Sharty.
>>65138767Now it’s typically Indians
>>65138644Old metodichka cumrad.
>>65138780Indians love Israel. Makes sense.
>>65138691Why are you embarrassing yourself so hard?
The jeet-35 was hit by 70 IQ desert goat farmers in Iran and thus confirmed a scam
No. But it did prove the USN is not worth the money it is printed on and all branches should have funding cut in at least half.
>>65138790Iran doesn't have almost any farms they don't have the water to produce most there own food retard.
>>65138787Talking about embarrassment in a thread about Iranian war, lmao. Pay the toll, then say 'thank you, mister ayatollah'.
>>65138811Instructions unclear, military budget has been raised to 2 trillion dollars
Is the f35b so far proving to be the most useful
>>65138811It proved that the cold war is over and the Arleigh Burke is obsolete. If the USN had been properly funded this never would have happened.
>>65138354Just a phonefag who rarely posts
>>65138972Pay the toll like in "kill every iranian faggot that tries to sail"? OK.
>>65138691Destroying the reputation of the US Navy in 60 days or less was pretty imprrssive NGL
>>65138811>USN interdicts, captures, and strikes the lanes and Iran>Lose no pilots, take no hits>Umm acksually the USN sucks
>>65138899Iran has water problems precisely because they insist on being food independent. They're a net food and energy exporter, their only critical import is animal feed.
>>65138811Lol lol lol look at the coping USAF washout. The air force has been an absolute clown show getting utterly mogged by navair which has like 1 / 15th their budget, has not been given a new new aircraft design for 56 years, and still btfo of the air force. This is also after Venezuela which was another navair/190th/delta W while the fags in the air force and marines had to watch from the cuck chair lmao
