X to doubt NGL, ill wait to see definite proof before making any conclusions. Very impressive if true though, wonder how tf the Israelis were using them to result in a shoot down if true.

Given that Yemen nearly managed to shoot one down, I don't think it would be surprising. I agree we'll need to wait to see some concrete evidence to definitively call it though.

Yeah I've seen that photo, frankly doesnt look real. Israeli F35s dont have a roundel in that location and the shape of the entire thing looks very off.

Yeah, does look like it's fake looking closer.
