I saw an Israeli woman crying because the house that was GIVEN to her blew up. And I can’t but sit back and sip my tea. As I said. Karma will do what karma does.

Headline writers believe there are two genders: pilots and female pilots.

F-35? If yes, Germany should cancel the fucking order.

Absolutely hilarious how the US bet the farm on this tech, and the first time it was tested against a serious military it turned out not to actually work. Who could've guessed.

Did it start updating mid flight or something?

Oh sorry I thought this was a Windows 11 jet for some reason I think these are still running Windows Phone tho

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 6 hours ago

Back in the 90s phones used Windows CE, which appropriately abbreviated to WinCE. Fuck that OS, worse than Vista/ME.

People forget Iran is still one of the largest countries and has access to Russia, China and global south resources even if the west denies their existence

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Does this have any credible source reporting on it, just curious since this image is not a recent image.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 9 points 20 hours ago (3 children)
[–] thundermoose@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Not sure that's a credible source. Didn't Iranian media claim they destroyed dozens of F-35s in missile strikes of Israeli airfields last October and then it turned out to be completely fake?

[–] rumimevlevi 16 points 19 hours ago

I mean sources of this war is israel and iran. There is no completely credible way to verify anything

I need a fat video confirmation or nothing happend lol

Cmon there's gotta be some soldier who took a photo or video

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 5 points 16 hours ago

Initialen reports said Iranian army confirmed it. So far no updates. Usually when it is a dud there is no followup.

Hiding this post for now unless more confirmation comes out.

Guessing Israel wants to use that stealth capability while it can before Trump causes the program to shutter and leaks shit to Russians dChina, who'd eventually share with Iran. Flex the muscle while you can, before the cat is out of the bag (or some other mixed metaphor)
