00:00You know, I don't like to say this, we've won this, this war has been won.
00:03The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.
00:06I mean, the New York Times, you read the New York Times, it's like we're not winning a war
00:10where they have no Navy and they have no Air Force and they have no nothing.
00:14And we literally have planes flying over Tehran and other parts of their country.
00:20They can't do a thing about it.
00:46Iran now claims it has downed a second U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and struck a key American
00:54missile defense system in Saudi Arabia.
00:56Iran is not just claiming big success, but showing proofs in terms of images.
01:03If confirmed, this could mark a turning point in modern warfare narratives.
01:10According to Iranian claims, the F-35, one of the most advanced stealth jets in the U.S. arsenal,
01:17was shot down using a new indigenous air defense system.
01:21Not just any aircraft, but a fifth-generation stealth fighter designed to be nearly untouchable.
01:30Reports suggest a massive explosion on impact and little chance of pilot ejection.
01:36That means not just loss of the aircraft, but minimal recovery of sensitive technology.
01:43This would be the second such loss linked to assets from the Lakenheath Squadron.
01:49And that raises serious questions.
01:52Is stealth dominance no longer guaranteed?
01:56From a military standpoint, this could validate Iran's investment in homegrown air defense systems.
02:03For years, the F-35 has been marketed as nearly invincible in high-threat environments.
02:10But a confirmed shootdown, especially a second one, could challenge that perception in real combat conditions.
02:18The impact is not just military, it is economic.
02:22The F-35 program depends heavily on global buyers.
02:27Now, allies may rethink purchases, delay orders, or demand tougher negotiations.
02:34At the same time, another critical strike is drawing attention.
02:38Iran claims damage to the THAD system's ANTPY-2 radar at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.
02:47This radar is the backbone of missile defense, responsible for detecting and tracking threats at long range.
02:56Satellite imagery reportedly shows burn marks and structural damage.
03:01If true, this creates gaps in missile defense coverage, forcing urgent redeployment or repairs under pressure.
03:09Taken together, these developments signal something bigger.
03:13Iran demonstrating it can hit, both in the air and on the ground.
03:18High-value U.S. systems, once seen as untouchable, now vulnerable.
03:24For the United States, this is a stark reminder.
03:28Technological superiority alone does not guarantee immunity.
03:32And for the region, the balance of power may be shifting faster than expected.
03:59Iran is claiming another dramatic victory.
04:02This time, a U.S. F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet shot down over central Iran, and now they're
04:11showing the wreckage.
04:12But is this really the aircraft the world thinks it is?
04:16State-linked Iranian media, including Tasnim, Mare, and Press TV, say the IRGC's new advanced air defense system
04:26struck the jet with a massive explosion, leaving the pilot unlikely to survive.
04:31Officials even referenced the 48th Fighter Wing's tail markings from RAF Lakenheath, signaling a high-profile U.S. target.
04:40Iranian outlets quickly released photos showing twisted metal, tail sections, and debris.
04:46Their message?
04:47Even America's most advanced stealth fighter is vulnerable.
04:52It's a bold provocation aimed at challenging the perception of U.S. air superiority.
05:15But experts are skeptical.
05:18Independent analysts and open-source intelligence observers immediately questioned the claim.
05:23The wreckage appears more consistent with an F-15E Strike Eagle, a twin-engined, non-stealth aircraft, rather than the
05:32single-engine, stealth-optimized F-35.
05:35This pattern isn't new.
05:37Iran has previously labeled F-15E wreckage as F-35s in earlier incidents.
05:43The Pentagon and CENTCOM have not confirmed any losses, maintaining that all fighter jets are accounted for.
05:50No satellite imagery or third-party verification has confirmed the crash.
05:55A real F-35 loss would be a huge symbolic and intelligence blow, but for now, it remains unverified.
06:03This comes amid the ongoing U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict, with Operation Epic Fury marking weeks of airstrikes, missile exchanges, and
06:13intense information warfare.
06:14Iran is using this moment to rally domestic morale and provoke the U.S., while Washington continues to emphasize operational
06:23security.
06:24Meanwhile, Iran has claimed that the pilot of the downed F-35 jet has been captured as U.S. helicopters
06:31scrambled to find and rescue the pilot, but failed.
07:00A direct hit on one of America's most critical battlefield machines.
07:06In a fiery strike in Kuwait, a U.S. Chinook helicopter reportedly reduced to ashes.
07:14Iran's latest message, loud and unmistakable.
07:19April 3, 2026.
07:23Iran launches a coordinated barrage of missiles and drones on Camp Boorang in Kuwait, a key U.S. military hub
07:33near the Iraq border.
07:35Among the targets, a Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopter.
07:41A heavy-lift workhorse capable of carrying troops, vehicles, and battlefield supplies, now reportedly destroyed on the ground.
07:56According to reports, the helicopter was struck by a one-way attack drone while stationed at the base.
08:03The impact, triggering massive explosions and fire.
08:10Satellite imagery now reveals the scale of destruction.
08:15Burnt hangers, damaged shelters, wrecked logistics facilities, a base visibly scarred.
08:27The loss of a Chinook is not just symbolic.
08:31It affects troop movement, resupply operations, and rapid deployment capabilities across the region.
08:44Camp Boorang, a vital logistics hub for U.S. operations in the Gulf, now repeatedly targeted and increasingly vulnerable.
08:58U.S. officials have not confirmed the full extent of losses, but reports indicate material damage and personnel injuries from
09:09the broader barrage.
09:10This strike is part of a wider Iranian campaign, targeting U.S. bases, infrastructure, and military assets across the Middle
09:22East.
09:24A single strike with far-reaching consequences, because in this war, even the most powerful machines are no longer safe
09:35on the ground.
09:36Waluing!
10:05This strike is a good being led by the Phr
10:11A U.S. warplane, locked, targeted, and taken down over one of the world's most strategic
10:21waterways, the Strait of Hormuz.
10:25Iran now claims it has shot down an American A-10, a moment that could redefine the air
10:32war in the region.
10:37According to Iranian media, air defense systems engaged a U.S. A-10 ground attack aircraft
10:44over Hormuz waters.
10:46Moments later, a missile strike, and the aircraft brought down.
10:53Video released by Iranian outlets shows what they claim is the exact moment of impact, a
11:00missile streaking through the sky, striking its target mid-air, a powerful visual of shifting
11:07battlefield dynamics.
11:12The A-10 Warthog, a symbol of U.S. air power, built for close air support, designed to dominate
11:21ground battles.
11:21Its loss, if confirmed, would carry both tactical and symbolic weight.
11:30So far, no official confirmation from the Pentagon or White House.
11:36Silence amid rising claims and circulating footage.
11:43At the same time, reports suggest another U.S. aircraft has gone down in the region.
11:49An F-15 fighter jet, with one crew member rescued, and another still unaccounted for.
11:59Taken together, these incidents signal a dangerous shift.
12:03But, Iran's air defenses actively engaging U.S. aircraft in contested skies.
12:09The airspace no longer uncontested.
12:13And the location is critical.
12:16The Strait of Hormuz, a lifeline for global oil.
12:20Any escalation here ripples across the global economy.
12:24One strike, one aircraft, but a much bigger message.
12:29The skies over the Gulf are now a contested battlefield, and the risks are rising fast.
