The first-ever air-to-air kill by an F-35 has finally happened — and it changes how modern warfare is understood. In this video, we break down the historic shootdown over Tehran, analyze the cockpit footage, and explain what it reveals about stealth, sensors, and the future of air combat. Why was there no dogfight? And what does this moment say about the trillion-dollar fighter’s real purpose? The answer reshapes everything we thought air battles looked like.

an F-35 also got shot down by Iran…. so much for that trillion dollar budget aircraft…
Wasn't the stealth supposed to prevent that from happening?
If you are so desperate to show this ad a victory then you're fucked …
A fifth generation fighter shooting a trainer aircraft lol😅😂
Why try!! America clearly advertises its superior tech, but yet this nation whom dont wont anyone to live freely as OUR God intended still tries to defy the swatting hand!!
Quick note: the f-35 is capable of dogfighting
So capable of dogfighting that it can beat an f-16
In fact the only scenario in which the f-16 stood a chance in that test was if it was clean as in it has nothing attached like missiles fuel tanks etc.
Thats what will happen to all Chinese n Russian fighters j20 mig29 su34 n 35 will suffer the same fate as yak130 will be great Marianas turkey shoot all over again pacific campaign ww2
The US did not spend over a trillion $ building this plane. That is the total cost of the program (over an 80 year period that we are in the middle of), which even includes fuel costs
C’mon, don’t let rookie mistakes like that ruin a great channel
This whole 5th generation warfare all working together is amazing.
Love seeing the old F-4s. My dad, RIP, flew two tours in the Phantom over the skies of Vietnam. He said it "was as aerodynamic as an open safe and proof positive that if you put a big enough engine on anything, you can make it fly."
Isreal do not use US avionics or targeting systems. They stripped it out and put in their own.
The yak-130 is a training plane… it's a toy for new pilots.
F-35 Just SHOT DOWN click bait bullshit. then it says march 3
Jets and aircraft carriers are obsolete in 2026. Simple. Technology has evolved
Nice fairy tale 😂😂always stories no evidence but theres evidence how Iran knock down an f35 and keeps downing f15s
Imagine the f35 vs advanced superpowers like Russia and China they would do to those f35 they would go instinct
@5:34 Doesn't really do anything for the F-35's reputation to shoot down a trainer — just saying.
unfortunately, Iran just tracked and hit a F-35, and got its heat signature profile.
It's too bad all these weapons are needed.
The most unreliable jet fighter vs a coughing baby, nothing to be proud of 😂
The headline should be…. " Iranian fighter pilot decides to commit suicide by going airborne. "
Cayó antes el primer F-35 derribado por un enemigo, y no hicieron un vídeo.
Menuda hipocresía.
I guess we aren't talking about the F35 that got shot down
😂 "YAK"… that's C&C Red Alert! Good job Maverick . 😒🤦♂️
But what about the F-35 that was heat tracked then shutdown by Iran? US stealth are no longer stealth.
Trainer against 5th gen?
You're seriously bragging about a multi-trillion dollar program shooting down a… trainer plane?
Cool story brah.
I thought there planes and ships were supposed to all be destroyed; yet, they keep showing up to be blown up. At least this video got the degrees right on the helmet. 360 not 180.
Wow…. it was able to down a subsonic jet trainer light combat airccraft
This is about like shooting down a T-45.
So, isn't this kinda what the F-35 was designed for? Like, why is this news? I'd say it would be news if it MISSED! BIG news….Like why couldn't a 30 year old F-15 launch the exact same missile?
War Thunder: "WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN"
It appears Iranian aircrew have a death wish.
What a bunch of noobs to even consider sending it up into the sky. How stupid can you be 😂
L19, ov 10,or even a.uh1helicopter can shoot down a yak 130 …. F35 shot down a yak 130 .what a waste
The Yak-130 is NOT a formidable aircraft. Any 4th gen aircraft made in the last 25 years could have taken it out.
it shot down a subsonic advanced trainer from the 1990's. Its a kill, but not exactly pushing the envelope there
The F22 is yet to get an intercept😢 please let the kid eat😊
What’s wild is that the IDF is using a significantly downgraded version of the f35
" ….UNBELIEVABLE Air-to-Air Strike! " . What is so unbelievable about an F-35 I downing a Yak-130 ? Only unbelievable if the F-35 failed to down it. Peregrine falcon vs a pigeon. 😂😂😂
And for the first time, Iranian air defences hit the F35
will it do as well against something that could actually put up a fight?
Nothing spectacular the US is dong in Iran its like beating of a child as a grown man and bragging about it but what makes this worst you are killing people who have not chance and bragging about it. Its pretty unhealthy as a person to think this is anything but horrible it had to happen. This why the world hates us. We are a bragging bully the worst kind.
this short military intervention is massive good advertising for the US for arms, and absolutely awful for all russian and chinese arms… venzuela started the bad pr for russian and chinese military equipment, this is almost like a nail in the coffin…
EOTS! ok. that made my day! 😂
