Avichay Adraee, a spokesman in Arabic for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), says: “Fake Iranian media. This news being spread by Iranian media is completely baseless.”

Iran has claimed that it shot down two Israeli fighter jets during the ongoing military conflict between the two countries. The jets were reportedly brought down by Iran’s air defences on Friday, according to Iranian news agency Tasnim.

One of the pilots, said to be a woman, has been captured, the report added.

This claim was also shared by the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of Iran’s embassy in New Delhi, India. The post stated, “Iran’s air defense forces have shot down two Israeli F-35 fighter jets and intercepted several hostile drones.”

I wouldn't have believed it until the "fake media" comment and now I 100% do.

Edit: so now Russia has wreckage of an F35 sweet.

Not sure which side I believe, I guess I'd need to know more about how hard it is to shoot down an F-35 as well as what equipment Iran used to shoot it down.
