Iran has become the first country in the world to successfully shoot down fifth-generation fighter jets by targeting two stealth F-35 fighters belonging to the Zionist regime.
Compared to a real F-35 the geometry doesn’t match up. If the wings and horizontal stabilizers broke off we would at the least see holes where they were supposed to be. The grass in the immediate vicinity would probably not be untouched like we see in the image. Lastly, AI struggles to differentiate between vehicle debris, building rubble, ashes, and clutter, so wreckage in those kinds of images tends to look like a mix of all of the above.
Im sure that Iran has the capability to down a vehicle of such a type, but I’m waiting for third-party confirmation before poppin bottles.
I think we all are to some degree. There’s a lot of shit going down and theres probably as much information warfare going on as there is actual warfare right now so I can’t really blame you.
Iran has not officially released ANYTHING. Iran has confirmed hits on 3 F35 planes and 1 F16 plane, but ANY PICTURE YOU SEE IS FAKE. Russia’s Sputnik has also reported one of those F35 hits.
(I do not want to make op feel bad either, def a nice analysis by Shaleesh too, the rear stabiliser is F22 shaped - but the engine, it’s just so funny to me how it’s the centrepiece of the pic, an image so unique and stand-outish it just triggers some situational/prop humour for me.)
update, there are pics now
These are fake, as mentioned elsewhere
ah, I guess we’ll have to wait some more
Definitely fake, likely a generated image.

yeah seems like I jumped the gun on that one
I hope I didn’t make you feel bad :(
nah, it’s my bad for getting too excited

For sure, and thanks for the kind words. :)
Yeah, intact fuselage too. That doesn’t happen.

Also, you know, the engine is still very much on.

This is not a true picture. This is an older MiG.
Imagine feeding AI slop to the masses & adding to the prompt “oh, and make it so that its anus is still glowing like it’s at full speed”
This is an older MiG plane, it has been mistakenly or maliciously resurfaced by media
