This is a thread specifically for the war, not a general megathread (use the pinned /c/genzedong thread for that).

Please keep related news in this thread rather than making separate posts. Remember to include sources and avoid spreading rumours.

The video you've attached is pretty good at explaining it overall. The MAWS/DAS of the F-35 that was hit seems to have not detected the missile.

The discussion of the fact Iran may be using a solution that is a hybrid of a loitering munition and SAM is really interesting, because of the novelty and cleverness of such an innovation, as well as one of the biggest benefits I see is that Iran can put these into the sky while concealing or moving the launchers immediately afterward.
