An American F-35 sent a distress signal over Iraq.

Iraqi media reports that an American F-35 fighter jet sent out a distress signal in Iraqi airspace.

Reports indicate a 7700 signal, indicating an aircraft emergency, was transmitted from airspace over southern Iraq.



At this time, the US Central Command is not commenting on the incident.

Meanwhile, reports are circulating on Middle Eastern social media that the F-35 fighter jet may have been hit from the ground. If so, either Iranian air defense systems "reached" the American aircraft over Iraq, or the enemy aircraft could have been struck by fighters from an Iraqi Shiite militia, whose targets were bombed today by both American and Israeli air forces. aviation.

Israeli and US air strikes have also hit Iran. At least 19 civilians have already been killed in Tehran since the strikes began. Since the start of the day, at least 25 people have been killed in Iran as a result of strikes.

As a reminder, Trump recently vehemently called on Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, adding that otherwise, "hell awaits." Trump's ultimatum is expiring. The Iranian government has declared that the strait will remain closed to ships and vessels associated with the United States, Israel, and those supporting them in the war against the Islamic Republic until the anti-Iranian aggression ceases. Meanwhile, significantly more ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours than the average for the entire past week.

      Yes. I froze. The pilot couldn't stand it, it was so tight he decided to eject.

      Iraqi media reporters are unsure whether the plane's toilet malfunctioned due to the hit...

    So, the invisible ones have become visible? It's the pilot's fault; he forgot to put on his invisibility cap, and that's what he got. The count goes on.

      To see an invisible plane, you simply have to not know that it is invisible.

      And to be armed with an outdated air defense system.

    Israeli and US air strikes have also hit Iran. At least 19 civilians have already been killed in Tehran since the strikes.

    The head of IRGC intelligence, Majid Khademi, was killed.

      It's just crazy... they completely destroy all the bosses, both Persian and Russian, and they don't hesitate. Eh... oh well, I'll keep quiet.

        this is some kind of crap...

        The problem is that someone is leaking information about his movements. Moreover, we learn of the death of the most important officer, but the fact that several equally important officers of lower rank are also killed with him remains undisclosed.

    Did he send out a distress signal? I wonder how they intercepted it; it should have been on his own frequency. Then again, a distress signal doesn't necessarily mean a crash or the pilot ejecting. Maybe he's been drinking coffee for a while now.
    And where is the boy from the downed F-15??? Fog of war

        Didn't know that Air Force pilots take their passports on combat missions to the US? However... laughing
        P.S. She's already 45 years old, as far as I know—it's already difficult to work as a pilot at 45 on a fighter jet...

      Did you send out a distress signal? I wonder how that signal works…
      Even the bourgeois comrades' fighter jets are equipped with civilian transponders; they make extensive use of civilian airspace. Code 7700, well, that's what they wrote down, on the transponder it means an emergency. It's strange, though, since it's a civilian code for combat missions, although of course it depends on where it's set.

      They seem to have pulled him out; he was hiding somewhere in the mountain range... They've already called it the largest SOF operation in recent years... they took a fair amount of damage to equipment. And everyone was involved in creating the 'fog of war'—they're disinfecting the enemy.

          So show it, remove the questions!!
          I beg you, don't underestimate the work of the SOF - even the White House was involved in the closure operation: they will show you when they are ready.
          I'm terribly sorry, but the prshik's 'potential partners' work on a completely different level - they cook up a story, and they believe it wholeheartedly.
