Iran Captures One Israeli F-35 Female Pilot

According to the latest reports from Iranian media, Iran announced that it had shot down two Israeli Air Force F-35 stealth fighters. An Israeli female pilot parachuted and has been captured by the Iranian army.

Foreign media are debating whether the downed aircraft were Israeli or Iranian. Iran has released photos of the wreckage. Now, it's just a matter of time before Iran reveals the Israeli female pilot.

In fact, the F-35 stealth fighter is not invincible. To ensure accuracy and destructive power, Israel used a method of having F-35 stealth fighters launch 2000-pound guided bombs at close range.

This gave Iran's air defense system an opportunity. With external挂loads of heavy bombs and auxiliary fuel tanks, the F-35 stealth fighter's stealth structure was already compromised. As long as the actual engagement took place, Iran still had a chance to shoot down the F-35 stealth fighter.

The F-35 stealth fighter is also a frontline tactical aircraft, primarily executing frontline bombing and air combat missions. In essence, the F-35 stealth fighter shares the same positioning as the MiG-29 fighter and the F-16 fighter. It's essentially an expensive tactical expendable asset.

On the first day of the conflict, the Israeli Air Force severely damaged Iran's ballistic missile forces in the western city of Tabriz. However, Iran's vast military strength means this strike cannot immediately deprive Iran of its entire retaliatory capability.

However, Iran's missile strikes on Israeli territory have been confirmed. Iran launched two rounds of missile strikes late at night, with at least 150 ballistic missiles heading toward Israeli territory.

The first wave of attacks was less effective, with many Iranian missiles intercepted at long range. Even the two missiles that hit their targets missed by tens of meters. However, the second wave of missile strikes was clearly faster, had stronger penetration capabilities, and was more accurate.

In the second wave of strikes, approximately seven ballistic missiles broke through Israel's Arrow 3 and THAAD air defense and anti-missile interception systems and successfully landed. This wave of strikes aimed to avenge the deaths of 20 Iranian generals killed in targeted Israeli strikes.

Main Iranian attack targets included the Israeli Defense Ministry and air bases. There are reports that buildings near the Israeli Defense Forces' general headquarters are currently exploding.

Israeli Air Force Achievements in 24 Hours

In the past 24 hours, the Israeli Air Force repeatedly struck Iran's Natanz nuclear facility. Satellite images show that the entire power generation system and substation system have been destroyed, and the underground structures have suffered severe damage.

Twenty Iranian generals and six core nuclear scientists were killed. Missile factories, air defense missile positions, and ballistic missile bases in Tabriz, Hamadan, Shiraz, Qasr, and Shirlin were all attacked.

The operation involved over 200 Israeli aircraft, launching more than 300 heavy guided bombs. The Israeli Air Force conducted aerial refueling missions over Syrian airspace. Some even suspect that Israeli jets could return so quickly from Iran because they utilized Syrian U.S. military bases for ordnance storage.

This completely exposes the serious problems caused by Iran losing control of Syria. Hamas and Hezbollah could sustain themselves for so long only with the protection, cover, and military assistance provided through Syria.

Last December, Iran was able to intercept so many Israeli missiles largely due to Syria as a forward monitoring area. Once Israeli aircraft took off, Syria could immediately report to Iran.

However, now, Syria as a forward base no longer exists. By the time Iran's air defense forces reacted, Israeli aircraft had already dropped their bombs inside Iranian airspace.

Once again, facts eloquently prove an ancient adage: when your opponent suspects you have nuclear weapons, it's better to actually have them! After the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed through long-term negotiations that Iran did not possess nuclear weapons, Israel could finally resolve to go to war.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's boldness and strong resolve to take risks are indeed impressive. Putin has always hesitated to act, but Israel dared to attack the resistance front and the true mastermind behind it, Iran.

Even amidst ongoing conflicts on the Hamas front and the Yemeni Houthi front, Israel has begun attacking Iran. Netanyahu truly shows great courage and daring!
