Giorgio N Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 So it looks like it may have finally happened, the F-35 may have had the baptism of fire http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-44210403 It is of course early to say that this actually happened as some of the latest claims made by Israeli officials have been heavily contested by neutral observer and there may well be a good dose of propaganda here. If confirmed however this would mean that the F-35 can carry out combat missions and do this in areas covered by many air defence systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
