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.

Gotta buy some to dissect; normally you have to capture your enemy's planes, being able to just buy them is great

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 3 points 19 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 1 points 20 hours ago

I didn't know, had to look it up, 17th biggest.

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

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)
[–] thundermoose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day 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@lemmings.world 15 points 1 day 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 1 day 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)
