    🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya HQ reports that a U.S. F-35 fighter was shot down over central Iran.

    Photos of the alleged wreckage have been released.

    The markings on the wreckage closely resemble the tail markings (a red stripe and the “U.S. Air Forces in Europe” shield) seen on the F-15E Strike Eagle of the 48th Fighter Wing “Liberty Wing,” based at RAF Lakenheath, England.

    However, while the 48th Fighter Wing does operate F-35A Lightning II’s, there are no known photos showing them with the red stripe.

    🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 Additional images showing the wreckage of a fighter jet shot down over Iran.

    There is some confusion in Iranian media, with both the F-15E and F-35A being mentioned. However, based on the visible features, it appears more consistent with an F-15E.

    Waiting for CENTCOM to say it’s fake news.

    I can’t upload the images due to the rate limit and there is just too many photos of the wreckage. You can check the photos by following the links.
