Part of one anyhow... they did release a SAM video saying they hit something right?

Do we know when this was? Iran stated that they had shot down an F-15E, but that was several days ago (IIRC, it was sometime between when the F-35 was hit and the AWACS was "damaged"). CENTCOM, of course, denied that any U.S. jet had been hit.

There's more recent footage of another jet getting hit.

Is this the recent footage you’re referring to?

Anybody know what happened to the pilot?

Might this be a part from one of the 3 shot down by Friendly Fire?

Or is this new?

It’s new. Different squadrons (you can tell by the tail markings), and that does not look like Kuwaiti terrain - I know, I lived there.

To start, I am certain this did not come from an F-35.

F-35s don't have colored tail flashes, that also looks like the standard gunship gray of an F-15E and not the LO of an F-35

Red stripe with white border and placement of "US Air Forces in Europe" emblem match a 494th Fighter Squadron F-15E based out of RAF Lakenheath.

Does this mean Iran got spare parts for theirs

Iran has F-14s, not 15s. This is likely the reason why the navy retired the F-14s as early as they did.

Nah. It's probably aliens.

Or "demons", I guess. I can't keep up with the lore anymore.

Thanks for checking. I also checked using similar sophisticated tools that are just as accurate

I need to be reassured that Kuwaiti fighter jet pilots didn't do this.

OK, even if the Iranians hauled away everything to sell to China, how does the flying tennis court leave such a small crater?

Pshaw, they can fly without flight surfaces, on sheer American spite.

Took this photo at the museum of the revolution in Cuba.

Wonder if we're curating a new exhibit
