F 35 Jet | Israeli Air Force's F-35 Shoots Down Iranian Jet Over Tehran
An Israeli Air Force F-35 fighter jet shot down a Russian-made Iranian Yak-130 jet over Tehran, the Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday amid an escalating war after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in a joint US-Israel airstrikes last week. It marks the first-ever downing of a manned aircraft by an F-35. It also marks the first time in nearly 40 years that the Israeli Air Force has engaged in air-to-air combat with a manned aircraft.
