$100 million per jet. 26 years to develop. Stealth technology. Undetectable. That's what they said. Iran shot it down. The most expensive fighter jet in history destroyed by a country with a $10 billion annual military budget. This is not a failure of technology. This is what happens when... show more

Thats right: US weapons are so fucking expensive to make the RIGHT ONEs very rich. On a free market no one would buy such stuff, but in politics u just corrupt some politicians and they vote for buying ur overprized stuff. And of cause theres pressure of the US on their allies...

Defense-tech company Anduril built “Fury,” an unmanned jet powered by artificial intelligence and designed to engage the enemy before a manned fighter jet arrives. Founder Palmer Luckey says the U.S. is in a race with China to develop similar technology. "We have a pretty good idea of what they're up to, and it is not going to be easy to match,” says Luckey.

Patriot missile: $1 million. Iranian drone: $20,000. Two to three Patriots to shoot one down. Iran makes 500 drones a day. America needs 1,000 to compete. The most expensive military in history cannot afford this war economically. That's not bad luck. Iran planned this for 20 years.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A U.S. F-35 stealth jet had to make an emergency landing this week. It was hit by suspected Iranian air defense while flying over Iran. Not something you expect with a stealth jet. It landed in the Middle East. The jet landed safely. The pilot is fine. U.S. Central Command says they’re now looking into what happened. Source: OSINTdefender

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 "This is our second war in a month & these wars are extremely expensive. I'm really concerned about the debt. Our military budget is not inadequate, it is ENORMOUS." — Republican Sen., Rand Paul on US spendings in Iran, adding that "allocating half a trillion dollars to the military budget is fiscally irresponsible."

THIS IS BIG: A Kuwaiti F/A-18 fighter jet shot down a USAF F-15E jet in a close-range fight with what appears to be AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missile on March 2. It appears the Kuwaiti pilot either intentionally shot down the U.S. jet or made a very serious mistake. The authenticity of the clip has not been confirmed yet. Note that a single Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet jet accidentally shot down three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles. The Hornet fired three air-to-air missiles, destroying all three jets.

The mystery of the missing fighter jet! The US Military is now looking for a stealth F-35 Lightning II jet that likely went down somewhere near Joint Base Charleston. The incident took place on Sunday afternoon. The pilot ejected safely and is OK. The transponder on the plane stopped working. This is one of the military’s most expensive planes.

€90 BILLION LOAN TO UKRAINE The government asked both houses to support ratification of a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine. I opposed this. 60% of the money is for military aid, as a neutral country that is not in keeping with what the majority of Irish Tax payers want.

🚨Breaking News… history just changed over Tehran in EPIC AIR BATTLE. Today, March 4, 2026, the sky over Iran witnessed something that had never happened before in the history of modern air combat. An Israeli F-35I “Adir” stealth fighter engaged and destroyed an Iranian Air Force Yakovlev Yak-130. The aircraft was completely eliminated in an air-to-air engagement over Tehran. This was not a drone strike. Not a missile launched from the ground. Not a proxy operation. This was a manned stealth fighter eliminating another aircraft in the skies over Iran. And it marks a historic milestone. This engagement is now being reported as the first confirmed air-to-air kill ever achieved by the F-35 platform anywhere in the world. Let that sink in for a moment. The most advanced fighter jet ever deployed in combat… designed with stealth geometry, sensor fusion, and battlefield awareness beyond anything that came before it… has now officially recorded its first aerial victory. The Iranian aircraft destroyed was a Yakovlev Yak-130, a Russian-built advanced trainer and light attack jet used by the Iranian Air Force. This also represents something else historically significant. It is the first Israeli manned air-to-air combat engagement in roughly four decades. Forty years. For decades Israeli pilots have dominated the skies through deterrence, technology, and overwhelming air superiority. But today that dominance translated into direct aerial combat once again. The Israel Defense Forces have officially confirmed the engagement. Multiple defense outlets and international military analysts are already reporting the event. This moment will likely be studied in military academies around the world for years to come. The first air-to-air victory of the American F-35 era. A stealth fighter engaging in real combat… and winning. History just unfolded over Tehran. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

📌 NBC News decided not to inform viewers about separate investigations from Reuters, CNN, and the New York Times that found a U.S. strike was likely responsible for hitting the school and killing 175 people, mostly children, in southern Iran. Here’s how they went about it instead: Moderator: President Trump said Iran is responsible for that strike. What is your response? FM Araghchi: “Well it is funny. It is our school. These are our students, our girls and they are attacked by an American fighter, a jet fighter and they have been killed. Why Iran is responsible? All evidences [sic] that this school is attacked by an American jet fighter.” Moderator: “Where is the Iranian evidence that this was a US attack? A jet fighter as you say. Will you provide?” FM Araghchi: “If it was not US then who was that? Maybe Israelis, but it is obvious. Who else is attacking us.” Moderator: “Well let me move on to this question about potential ground troops.”
