Iran claims to have shot down a second US F-35 fighter jet in two weeks, with the pilot's survival unlikely. The incident follows a previous downing of a US F-35 stealth fighter over Iran, which was hit during a combat mission and made an emergency landing at a US air base in the Middle East.
Iran claims a second US F-35 was shot down over central Iran. The pilot's survival is unlikely. This incident comes two weeks after another US F-35 was hit during a combat mission over Iran. The previous jet made an emergency landing at a US air base in the Middle East. Iran says it used its air defence systems to strike the aircraft. The F-35 is a key part of US and allied air power, with a stealth design that allows it to avoid radar detection.
