It’s huge! Iran destroys U.S.’ fifth generation F-35 fighter jet? Tehran’s claim shocks the world

Описание: Iran made a shocking claim on March 19 amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel strikes on Tehran as the conflict entered its third week. Iran claimed to have become the first nation in the world to strike an US F-35 Lightning 2 stealth aircraft. As per IRGC statement, the jet was struck by the IRGC's advanced, modern air defense systems. "The fate of the fighter jet is unclear and under investigation, and the likelihood of its crash is very high" it said. IRGC noted that the interception follows the successful downing of more than 125 US-Israeli drones by Iran's defense systems. This Iranian claim came just one day after the White House claimed in an X post that F-35 represents "decisive American power. The aircraft is seen as one of the most valuable US assets and the backbone of the US's fifth-generation warfighting capabilities. Meanwhile, a CNN report, citing US defence officials, also confirmed that an F-35 did perform an emergency landing. The landing took place at a US air base in the Middle East after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, CNN said. US CENTCOM, confirmed to CNN that the fifth-generation aircraft had been on an operational mission when the incident occurred. "The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition" US CENTCOM spokesperson said to CNN. The development would mark the first time Iran has managed to hit a US aircraft during the ongoing conflict. The F-35 aircraft is among the most advanced in the world and costs upwards of USD100 million. The US military has also faced other setbacks during the conflict, although not all were due to enemy action. In a separate incident last week, a KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in western Iraq killing all six crew members on board. Despite the incident, US officials have maintained that their overall campaign remains on track
