Russian media: Iran's air defense system confronts the stealth fighter F-35, which may change the game rules.
March 20, Russian "Public Hope Service" report.
CNN reported that an American F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at a U.S. military base in the Middle East, and it is speculated that it was attacked by Iranian armed forces.
An American fifth-generation fighter jet, the F-35, was forced to make an emergency landing after being struck by Iran's air defense system, and the consequences of this incident may be far more than just expensive equipment damage.
Military experts analyzed that the fact that Iran's radar or optical equipment detected and tracked a stealth target itself is a highly sensational event.
"The fact that the radar or optoelectronic detection and guidance system of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' air defense forces can detect this widely popular and heavily promoted American stealth fighter in the global arms market and issue instructions or illuminate this complex target itself is already a highly sensational event," the report stated.
The observers of "Military Chronicles" speculate that the damage to this fighter jet may have been caused by the "358/359" or AD-08 type air defense missile equipped with a thermal imaging guidance head, which belongs to the "Majid" air defense system.
At the same time, it cannot be ruled out that a long-range air defense missile system was used, and the thermal imaging camera on the Majid launch unit can perform objective monitoring of the damage effect.
