You mean the slow-poke, single-engine F-35 that isn't even stealthy from behind? That F-35?
If our top leadership are on China's and Russia's payroll, why should I expect much from the F-35?
Biden is dropping palates of cash on Iran and accidently hitting their oil storage facilities. Price of gas to increase by morning.
Because Israel's F-35s are the most likely platform that are taking out Iran's nuclear sites right now, in real time?
Blame Biden

Ummmm, it probably costs us more taxes then you’ve paid in your entire lifetime to pay for one days security of former president Carter!

I sure hope tomorrow’s satellite pix show us reeeely deep, smoking craters where Iran used to be. :-)
You’re stuck in 1980s, F-14 Maverick and Goose thinking. The rapidly-approaching future is low-observable aircraft that act as powerful sensor platforms while quarterbacking attacks by swarms of stealth drones, and launching their own attacks from a distance with fast stealthy stand-off weapons. Among its many other capabilities, the F-35 will soon have a hypersonic missile that can fit within its internal weapons bay. Also, don’t forget that the F-35 is not intended to be an air superiority fighter. That role is currently handled by the F-22 and F-15, with the F-22’s 6th generation replacement on its way very soon.
Large numbers of F-35s, even if not yet accompanied by their “wingman” drones that are still in development, could easily overwhelm nearly any existing air defense system in the world with LRASM stealth cruise missiles and soon, hypersonic missiles (that weapon is said to be ready to deploy NOW). There have also been sightings of F-35s in flight testing new stealthy external tanks and infrared search and track pods. There is a lot of development happening on the F-35 front. There were reports that not long after receiving some of the first deliveries of F-35s, Israel flew two of them directly over Tehran without being detected. And Israel has made a lot of their own unique improvements to the F-35 since then. Israel doesn’t mess around, and they are heavily invested in the F-35. They certainly realize its value.
With what is apparently occurring tonight in Iran, just watch and learn.
Limited attack
USA has tightened the screws on Israel not to attack the nuclear power plants
Limited !!
Israel is kicking their ass and the iranians can't do much about it...there. However, with all of the operatives they now have sent across the open border, they will retaliate against us here in the US. Their justification will be to punish us for support of Israel.
Why? Anywhere USA is a soft target compared to anywhere in Israel.
On the wayside it once caused a floating decimal but that is now gone.
The Enforcer is reporting a building that was hosting a meeting of ‘High Ranking Iranian Military’ was at least one target
I’m sure the leadership of the IRGC aerospace Force were on the potential target list
It is very hard to align this response magnitude with the narrative that the Iranian attack was 99% shot down and did nothing.
Rather, it’s wiser to believe nothing from the media.
This response does not say 99% shootdown. It says Israel got hurt.
Iran’s attack was 300 missiles launched directly from Iranian soil to Israel. This was the first time Iran directly attacked Israel. That mattered more for Israel’s response than how many were shot down or what targets they hit.
First stream was interrupted by a brief power outage. They are back up now.
FYI: The Enforcer is back to Ukraine content for now.
We do not know the size of Iran’s attack. We know only what the media says, and why believe them?
