This is the first shootdown in history of a manned fighter aircraft by an F-35 “Adir” fighter jet.
According to the IDF, this is the first time in history that an F-35 “Adir” fighter jet has shot down a manned aircraft. Reports say the incident also represents the first air-to-air combat involving manned aircraft by the Israeli Air Force in nearly four decades. The previous such engagement occurred on November 24, 1985, over Lebanon, when an IAF F-15 shot down two Syrian MiG-23 fighter jets.
