Many countries are going to be very interested how this happened.

The shootdown of a previous "stealth fighter" helped other countries produce their own: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-117A_shootdown

AD-08 IRST capability. It's a TELAR with MANPADS-like specs unless it's "Khorramshahr-4" with today's event Diego Garcia range. ;)

Hegseth said Thursday morning that the US is “winning decisively”

Don't look now but the real war is economic. As long as the flow of oil remains disrupted, the USA has decisively shot itself and much of the world in the foot.

Good news, F-35 performance has surpassed expectations significantly! Bad news, F-35 production and deployment cost have surpassed expectations massively!
