Also, we need to cut off the internet to South Asia because the amount of blatantly fake garbage coming out of it...

Someone in Israel took this video of Iran drone interception with his Samsung s24 ultra

I don't think they're using Spikes either, which are a heavy ATGM with line of sight firing out to the km level.

FPVs would be far more effective with NLOS attack out to 10 km level.

All of their other purpose build drones are huge and very difficult to smuggle. FPVs make far more sense.

They could be using Spike NLOS which has that lofted trajectory and can be TV-guided via the fiberoptic connection. Very similar to the HJ-10.

They could have hid it behind a truck and fired. Or they could have been using Harop loitering munitions. Still, we cannot rule out FPV drones either because these require far smaller footprints.

Iran claimed they shot down two F-35s

In an official statement, the Iranian Army’s Public Relations Office announced that its air defense forces had successfully struck and destroyed two F-35 fighter jets along with multiple drones belonging to the Zionist regime.


The report noted that the fate of the pilots remains unknown and is currently under investigation. Further information will be released in due course.

but ... but they didn't provide any evidence, just claims.

Second one is fake. But the first one is possible. Maybe it's a friendly fire. Or got a lucky hit.

Probably not Harops. Way too big and don't need a local base.

Spike NLOS weighs 70 kg and is vehicle launched. That's a drawback for a sabotage weapon where you typically want it to be as light as possible and best to be human carryable so you can launch from odd angles and tough terrain that vehicles can't reach or for high volume vehicle launches for saturation.

If they are not using FPVs it really shows how stubborn they are. Look at how fast China, Russia and Ukraine developed their FPV doctrines. China was showing off its FPV doctrines pre-Ukraine with the drone swarmer truck. Based on rumors I heard, Europeans are dismissing the power of FPVs too.

Even if one is shot down, that's breaking news. I am surprised people aren't talking about it everywhere.
Is there any evidence at all from either Iran or Israel?

No reason for them not to show the pilot and wreckage if true…
