The Iranian Army’s air defense system shot down another US F-15 fighter jet as part of Iran’s response to the Zionist-American aggression.

    If that were the case, Iran would have claimed the air kills which afaik they haven’t.

    Iran did claim to shoot down an F-35 last year which was an obvious lie, so I wouldn’t really put too much weight on this claim.

    That being said, an F-15 is more plausible of a target against some hidden SAMs. Even Iraq shot down a prrtty decent handful of aircraft during the gulf war, despite losing their airforce in a matter of hours just because they had a crap ton of SAMs on the ground.
