Trump's War escalates as energy infrastructure across the Persian Gulf region is under attack

The reports are the F-35 was able to limp back to a US base and make an emergency landing

I'm always last to get the news.

You spout off about all these imaginary "fallacies" and the best you can do for yourself is "I know you are but what am I?"

SMH

You can't blame your fallacies on anybody else, Sybil.

It was hit, but not shot down.

US F-35 damaged by suspected Iranian fire makes emergency landing, sources say​

A US F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at US air base in the Middle East after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for US Central Command, said the fifth-generation stealth jet was “flying a combat mission over Iran” when it was forced to make an emergency landing. Hawkins said the aircraft landed safely and the incident is under investigation.

“The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition,” Hawkins added. “This incident is under investigation.”

The incident would be the first time Iran has hit a US aircraft in the war started in late February. Both the US and Israel are flying F-35s in the conflict; the aircraft costs upwards of $100 million.

What is gas in Dallas? It’s up to $3.55 at a Shell station.

Oh no ooooooo,s.

Iran shot down an F-35.

And it continues. Was it a missile or a drone that did it, or another means?

Missile. The F-35 cost $100 million and the missile is about 2 or 3 million. The GCC won't be buying overpriced US weapons much longer. Iran is changing the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians are giving air defense weapons and technology to Iran.

Thank you for the clarification.

They'd be giving the Iranians something in exchange for drones.
