Iran downs US F-35: First combat hit on most advanced 'Invisible' stealth jet mid-air
This marks the first time Iran has struck a US aircraft in the late February war. Both the US and Israel deploy F-35s in the conflict; each jet costs over $100 million.
Had the plane actually landed the incident would never have made the news. At all. The plane crashed, and the Department of War made truth it's first casualty. As evidenced by unrealistic casualty reports.
