Israel hits Iranian targets

It would be much harder to do. The electronics for these were produced in Russia, or locally in Iran. They also aren’t connected to anything they could send a signal through. So either they received a signal through the beam, or were hit with an EW attack. Both of which the F-35 has the capability to do.

The F-35 has an incredibly robust EW system both through on board antennas, and through the APG-81 radar. One of the things it was designed to do was exactly this. Several engineers that I follow in various places have said this is exactly the kind of electronic attack they’d carry out. They are former F-35 test personnel that would know.

The F-35 uses the AN/ASQ-239 for 360 degree coverage. The system identifies threats, geolocates them by talking to other F-35s flying in the area, and then has the ability to us on board Electronic Warfare systems, that can be tuned to meet new threats digitally, against said threats. The ASQ-239 combines with the APG-81 radar to form an extremely powerful and potent system that's almost as good as the system carried by the EA-18G. One of the primary F-35 missions is Suppression of Enemy Air Defense (SEAD).
Logic is dead. Long live BS.
