🇮🇷🇺🇸 How Iran hit the "unhittable" jet The F-35 is invisible to radar. It was never invisible to heat. Iran likely used infrared tracking systems that detect engine exhaust instead of radar signatures. Because these systems emit no energy, the F-35's warning systems never alerted the pilot he was being targeted. The suspected weapon: Iran's 358 missile, a hybrid between a loitering drone and a surface-to-air missile that hunts using optical and infrared sensors, bypassing stealth entirely. Stealth dominates radar. Physics doesn't care. Source: AiTelly

🇮🇷💥Iran Preserves Key Mobile SAM Systems Despite Degraded Air Defenses: On April 3, Iran shot down a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle over southwestern/central Iran - the first confirmed loss of a manned U.S. combat aircraft to Iranian fire in the conflict. At roughly the same time, an A-10 Thunderbolt II supporting search-and-rescue for the F-15E crew was hit by Iranian air defenses near the Strait of Hormuz. Despite weeks of heavy Israeli and U.S. bombings that severely degraded Iran’s integrated air-defense network, Iran retained mobile, survivable surface-to-air missile systems likely from the Khordad/Raad family or newer IRGC variants. These systems are difficult to fully eliminate because they use emission-control tactics, rapid relocation, and passive sensors instead of active radar. The shoot-downs represent a notable tactical and propaganda victory for Iran. You also have to keep in mind that the United States has suffered relatively light losses in this conflict compared to Iran. That said, it is simply unrealistic to expect that American fighter jets could operate over Iran without being shot down. Given the sheer size of the country, securing its entire airspace would be extremely difficult, if not impossible. 📌Khordad 15 air defense systems:

🇮🇱 The Israeli Air Force has released its first official report: 📌 “Since the early morning hours, approximately 200 fighter aircraft, under the direction of Military Intelligence and Air Force command, have carried out a large-scale strike on the missile systems and defensive infrastructure of Iran’s terrorist regime in western and central Iran.” 📌 “This is the largest aerial operation in the history of the Israeli Air Force, conducted with meticulous planning and high-quality intelligence, involving synchronized action by hundreds of aircraft. Air Force planes dropped hundreds of bombs on approximately 500 targets, including air defense systems and missile launch sites across various sectors of Iran.” 📌 “The strike on defense systems enabled the achievement of air superiority over Iranian airspace and dealt a heavy blow to the regime’s primary offensive capabilities — particularly ballistic missile launchers located in western Iran.” 🟨 The U.S.–Israel air operation against Iran has now been underway for more than 11 hours. Aircraft are reportedly flying inside Iranian airspace — including over Tehran — without losses. At this time, not a single U.S. or Israeli fighter jet has been shot down or even damaged.

BREAKING: 🇨🇳🇮🇷 Iran is expected to receive within weeks a first shipment out of up to 400 Chinese-made shoulder-fired air-defence missile launchers, three sources familiar with the deal told ​Reuters The contract covers the purchase of between 300 and 400 man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS), including Chinese-made QW-12 and FN-16 missiles, the sources said. CHINA AND IRAN EXPLORE LAND ROUTES FOR DELIVERY, SOURCES SAY While Iran has invested heavily in the past two decades in missiles, drones and radar, military experts say portable air-defence systems are important because they can be dispersed quickly, operated by small teams and relocated frequently, making them less vulnerable than fixed air-defence ​batteries. Iran had been seeking to purchase QW-12 and QW-18 missiles and a deal had already been concluded. The QW-12 ​and FN-16 are shoulder-fired, infrared-guided surface-to-air missile systems designed to engage low-flying aircraft, helicopters and drones. Their mobility allows them to be ​deployed rapidly around military installations, ⁠energy infrastructure and other sensitive sites.

🚨🇷🇺🇻🇪🇮🇷 FORMER CIA OFFICER: WHY DID RUSSIAN AIR DEFENSE STRUGGLE IN VENEZUELA AND IRAN? Larry says Russian air defenses flopped in Venezuela and Iran’s 12‑day war for 2 main reasons: In Venezuela, a stand‑down order kept the systems from firing. In Iran, the only S‑400 was at a nuclear plant in the southwest. Russian personnel were on site, and that’s the one that got hit. They didn’t have any other advanced systems back then. Things are different now. Iran called Moscow, sent defense chiefs to meet with Russia, and China has been sending gear and transport flights too. Full interview with Larry Johnson below

Iran has deployed a new air defense system against US aircraft Al Jazeera reports that Iran is using an unknown, high-tech air defense system capable of hitting American F-35s, F-15s and F-18s. According to the IRGC, the system was developed after the "12-day war" and has already been used in practice. The US confirmed the attack and the evacuation of a pilot who required medical assistance. There are also reports of F-18s being hit and reports on F-15s and F-16s. The narrative of a "completely open sky over Iran" has been called into question. According to available information, Iran is capable of striking modern US and Israeli aircraft.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran just made American fighter jets obsolete in its skies and a retired U.S. Army Colonel explained why. Colonel Gagnon, speaking on ABC News, laid it out cold: Iran has shifted to passive infrared detection systems that don’t emit radar signals. They track heat signatures instead. The F-35 and F-15 — the crown jewels of U.S. air power were never built to face this. Stealth means nothing when the hunter is silent and staring straight at your engines. “Iranian airspace is no longer safe for U.S. fighter jets.” The empire that bragged about total air superiority is now watching its own experts explain why their trillion dollar birds are flying into a trap they can’t see coming. The owners of the Gulf control more than the waters now. They control the air above them too.

🚨🇮🇷 IRAN’S DRONE HUNTERS: A NIGHTMARE FOR U.S. AND ISRAELI UAVs Even under constant U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, Iran still intercepts enemy drones. The reason lies in a set of mobile, radar-silent air defense systems that are far harder to detect and destroy: 🔸 Missile 358 – a loitering anti-drone interceptor operating in autonomous “free hunt” mode. Flying at ~0.6 Mach with up to 100 km range and 8.5 km interception altitude, it can patrol airspace and engage targets like MQ-9 Reaper or Hermes-900 UAVs. Radio correction can improve accuracy but risks exposing the control node to enemy electronic surveillance. 🔸 AD-08 Majid – a mobile short-range air defense system using optical and thermal sensors instead of radar. Its IR-guided missiles reach ~2 Mach, with 8 km range and 6 km altitude, making the system difficult to detect for aircraft relying on radar warning receivers. 🔸 Repurposed R-73 / R-27T missiles – infrared air-to-air missiles adapted for ground launch from mobile platforms equipped with thermal sights. Similar improvised systems have previously downed UAVs and even aircraft — including a Saudi F-15S shot down by the Houthis in 2018. Unlike radar-based systems that can be quickly targeted by anti-radiation missiles, these mobile defenses are harder to detect and eliminate, allowing Iran to keep enemy UAV operations under constant pressure. Do you think radar-silent air defenses could really help Iran counter Western drones and aircraft?

‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸 BREAKING - Additional F-15E fighter jets of the US Air Force have been deployed at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan; alongside them, C-17 GLOBEMASTER transport aircraft are mobilized, which almost daily transfer components of air defense systems (MIM-104 Patriot) from American bases in Europe (command posts, launchers, radars, and antimissiles) 🇮🇷🚀 If the US launches a new strike on Iran, this base could become a key hub. 🔹 Since the base is located about 900 kilometers from the Iranian border, it mostly lies outside the range of Iran's most precise short-range ballistic and tactical missiles. This means Iran would need medium-range ballistic missiles to strike it. See the latest updates with us: NSTRIKE

🚨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

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran spent 40 years building a wall that fell in hours Bavar-373 batteries reaching 160 nautical miles. S-300 systems from Russia. Radars tracking 300 contacts simultaneously. Layer after layer designed to make Iranian airspace a graveyard for any attacker. The 1991 Iraq air campaign took 38 days against a weaker system. Iran's collapsed overnight. The lesson extends beyond air defense. Iran has consistently overestimated the strength of what it's built, from missile shields to regional alliances. The same miscalculation is playing out now in the Gulf: Tehran thought attacking its neighbors would create pressure on Washington. Instead it's guaranteeing those neighbors will never tolerate a heavily armed Iran again. Source: Navy Decoded YT

(1) Iran claims to have shot down another US made F-35 Stealth Bomber Jet. They say this is number 7. Each costs over $100 million. (2) Meet Majid — Iran's short-range infrared air defense system. No radar. No signal. Passive heat-seeking guidance only. On March 19, 2026, Majid scanned the sky silently, locked onto an F-35, and hit it in three seconds, bypassing its threat detection system entirely. The US spent $400 billion developing the F-35 over 30 years, it was engineered to evade radar. Iran put a passive heat sensor on a truck and physics did the rest. War is not going according to plan.

The Israeli Air Force has destroyed a third of Iran's ballistic missile launchers and is managing to disrupt "extensive parts" of its attacks on Israel, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin says in a press conference. He says that in the two barrages since last night, 65 ballistic missiles and dozens of drones were launched at Israel, most of which were intercepted, but three impacts killed eight people. Defrin says Iran wanted to launch at least twice as many missiles at Israel overnight. Overnight, 20 ballistic missiles were simultaneously targeted by the Israeli Air Force in Iran before they could be launched, he says. The IDF says that some 50 fighter jets and drones also identified and struck missile storage sites, and command centers where Iranian soldiers were gathered to launch the missiles. Since the start of the conflict, the IDF says it has destroyed over 120 Iranian ballistic missile launchers, which it says is a third of what Iran had. Additionally, the military says the IAF conducted waves of strikes in Isfahan, hitting over 100 military targets.

IDF Spokesperson Effie Defrin – Key Points from Day 9 of Operation ‘Rising Lion’: • Deep Strike on Iran: Around 60 Israeli fighter jets carried out a precision strike deep inside Iran. Footage shows Israeli aircraft destroying three Iranian F-14 fighter jets. • Missile Chain Disrupted: The IDF is targeting every part of Iran’s missile production and launch infrastructure, significantly reducing the IRGC’s operational missile capacity. • Air Superiority Achieved: Israeli jets struck radar systems and air defenses in western Iran, enabling continued strikes on missile command centers, UAV infrastructure, and rocket storage and launch sites. • Elimination of Saeed Izadi: Izadi, commander of the Quds Force’s Palestine Corps and key liaison with Hamxs, was killed. He helped plan October 7 and attempted to send millions in weapons to Gaza. • Mohammed Sinwar Connection: IDF found evidence of direct coordination between Sinwar and Izadi during a raid under the European Hospital in Gaza, disrupting IRGC-Hamxs weapons transfers. • Behnam Shahriyari Killed: Shahriyari, who oversaw arms transfers to Hezbollah and other proxies, was eliminated. This further damages Iran’s regional proxy network. • UAV Infiltrations & Defense: Over 1,000 Iranian UAVs launched at Israel in the past week. Most were intercepted outside Israeli airspace by jets, naval units, and air defense systems. Only a few made it through, and no injuries were reported.

After over a decade of evading air defenses over the skies of Syria during a campaign against Iran's supply of weapons to Hezbollah, the Israeli Air Force says it has achieved total air superiority in the area. An Israeli bombing campaign earlier this week across Syria, aimed at taking out advanced weaponry that could fall into the hands of hostile elements following the collapse of the Bashar al-Assad regime, also destroyed the vast majority of the air defenses in the country. According to the military, the IAF destroyed 86% of the former Assad regime's air defense systems across Syria, totaling 107 separate air defense components and another 47 radars. The numbers include 80% of the short-to medium-range SA-22, also known as the Pantsir-S1; and 90% of the Russian SA-17 medium-range air defense system, also known as the Buk. Both Russian-made systems had posed challenges to the IAF during its so-called campaign between campaigns — or Mabam, as it's known by its Hebrew acronym — aimed at countering Iranian weapon deliveries to Hezbollah in Lebanon and attempts by Iran-backed groups to gain a foothold in the country, which began in 2013. Only a handful of air defense systems now remain in Syria, and they are not considered a major threat to the IAF, which says it can operate freely across the country's skies. "The Syrian air defense array is one of the strongest in the Middle East and the blow caused to it is a significant achievement for the Air Force's superiority in the region," the IDF says. The new freedom of aerial action also brings the IAF new opportunities. If in the past, the IAF would not fly directly over Damascus when carrying out strikes on Iran-linked targets in the capital, it now can. The IAF can also send surveillance drones over the Syrian capital without the fear of them being shot down by the advanced Russian-made air defense systems. While the Iran-backed Assad regime has fallen, Israel still will operate over Syria to ensure that advanced weapons from the former government's army do not reach Hezbollah in Lebanon or any other group hostile to Israel in the region. The bombing campaign on Sunday and Monday, which began hours after Assad's regime fell, also hit Syrian airbases, weapon depots, weapon production sites, and chemical weapons sites, in addition to the air defense systems. The strikes destroyed hundreds of missiles and related systems, 27 fighter jets, 24 helicopters, and more. A total of 1,800 munitions were used in the strikes, taking out nearly every site of "strategic military capabilities" that Israel was aware of. The IDF assesses that it did not destroy all of the Assad regime's military capabilities, and Hezbollah will most certainly try to get its hands on advanced weapons that were so far spared. The chances of weapons from Syria finding their way to Hezbollah in Lebanon are considered to be high, according to the IDF's assessments. To prevent weapons from reaching Hezbollah, the IAF has bombed all of the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, leaving just one of them, Masnaa, open for pedestrian traffic. The IAF says it is constantly monitoring the crossings to ensure that Hezbollah does not return to use them for weapon deliveries. At the same time, the military also believes it has dealt a major blow to the weapon manufacturing capabilities of the entire Iran-led axis, in Lebanon, Syria, and in Iran itself with October's strike in response to Tehran's ballistic missile attack.

Only a handful of air defense systems now remain in Syria, and they are not considered a major threat to the IAF, which says it can operate freely across the country's skies. "The Syrian air defense array is one of the strongest in the Middle East and the blow caused to it is a significant achievement for the Air Force's superiority in the region," the IDF says. The new freedom of aerial action also brings the IAF new opportunities. If in the past, the IAF would not fly directly over Damascus when carrying out strikes on Iran-linked targets in the capital, it now can. The IAF can also send surveillance drones over the Syrian capital without the fear of them being shot down by the advanced Russian-made air defense systems. While the Iran-backed Assad regime has fallen, Israel still will operate over Syria to ensure that advanced weapons from the former government's army do not reach Hezbollah in Lebanon or any other group hostile to Israel in the region. The bombing campaign on Sunday and Monday, which began hours after Assad's regime fell, also hit Syrian airbases, weapon depots, weapon production sites, and chemical weapons sites, in addition to the air defense systems. The strikes destroyed hundreds of missiles and related systems, 27 fighter jets, 24 helicopters, and more. A total of 1,800 munitions were used in the strikes, taking out nearly every site of "strategic military capabilities" that Israel was aware of. The IDF assesses that it did not destroy all of the Assad regime's military capabilities, and Hezbollah will most certainly try to get its hands on advanced weapons that were so far spared. The chances of weapons from Syria finding their way to Hezbollah in Lebanon are considered to be high, according to the IDF's assessments. To prevent weapons from reaching Hezbollah, the IAF has bombed all of the border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, leaving just one of them, Masnaa, open for pedestrian traffic. The IAF says it is constantly monitoring the crossings to ensure that Hezbollah does not return to use them for weapon deliveries. At the same time, the military also believes it has dealt a major blow to the weapon manufacturing capabilities of the entire Iran-led axis, in Lebanon, Syria, and in Iran itself with October's strike in response to Tehran's ballistic missile attack.

💥🪖🇷🇺 Iran war just proved superiority of Russia’s multi-layered air defense doctrine The Mideast crisis became a “living laboratory showcasing the drastic evolution of modern air defense technology,” says Indonesian defense publication Airspace Review. Key findings: 🔸 Western anti-air doctrine using costly missile interceptors and aircraft is obsolete 🔸 Russia’s multilayered, affordable approach is superior in high-intensity, missile and drone-filled conditions of modern warfare 🔸 Tor-M2 short-range SAM is its backbone. Not only do its interceptors cost less, but it can act as a mobile command system for local defenses. Kupol radar detects targets with tiny RCS, which can be delegated to cheaper AA guns or MANPADs 🔸 3M deployment time, flexibility against UAVs, GMLRS and HIMARS

🚨WATCH THIS NOW OR BOOKMARK IT IMMEDIATELY⚠️ This video is a reminder of something many Americans still underestimate… The enemy we are facing is not a band of cave fighters with spears and rocks. What you are looking at here is Iran’s 3rd Khordad mobile surface-to-air missile system… a truck-mounted air defense platform designed to detect, track, and destroy aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles at distances that can reach well over 100 km depending on the missile configuration. This system was developed specifically to counter modern Western air power. And it has already proven it can do damage… it was the same class of Iranian air defense system that shot down a U.S. surveillance drone in 2019. Iran has spent decades building a layered military apparatus. Mobile missile launchers Underground missile cities Long-range ballistic weapons Drone swarms Integrated air defense systems like this one And they are not doing it alone. Russia has transferred radar technology and missile engineering experience. China has provided electronics, sensors, and industrial manufacturing capability. That means the battlefield we are dealing with is not primitive… it is a hybrid military ecosystem built by three industrial powers. That matters. 🚨Because arrogance in war gets people killed. When Americans see footage like this, it should not produce panic… but it should produce respect for the complexity of the threat. These systems are designed to challenge the most advanced air force in the world. And there is another reality most people don’t like to talk about. The battlefield is not always overseas. Iran’s strategy has long included sleeper networks and proxy infrastructure outside the Middle East… cells that can be activated for sabotage, intelligence gathering, or disruption if a full regional war erupts. War in the 21st century is not just missiles and jets. It is intelligence networks industrial supply chains cyber warfare and influence operations inside rival nations. So when you see footage like this Iranian system rolling across the desert… understand what it represents. A state that has spent decades preparing for confrontation with the United States and Israel. Never underestimate your adversary. History shows that arrogance in war is one of the fastest paths to disaster. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove
