A Gene Robinson @AlBuffalo2nite - 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.
