The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran stated on the 19th local time that at 2:50 AM that day, a U.S. F-35 fighter jet was hit and severely damaged by Iran’s new advanced air defense system in Iranian central airspace.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran indicated that the fate of the aircraft is currently unclear and is under investigation, with a high likelihood that it has already crashed. Following the successful shooting down of over 125 U.S. and Israeli drones by Iran’s air defense systems, this successful interception demonstrates that Iran’s air defense systems have achieved effective and targeted improvements.
