Still sure it was an F-35.....that the F-15 narrative is a lie:

The Five-Second Epistemology of the Pratt & Whitney F135 F-35 Engine: The Debate Is OverThe engine. Turbine compressor rings laid out on a table in the Iranian desert. Civilians walking through the debris field. The bore diameter consistent with the Pratt & Whitney F135. The F135 is a single-engine turbofan. The F135 only goes in one aircraft on earth. The F-35. Not the F-15E which runs two Pratt & Whitney F100s. Not the F-16 which runs a single F110 or F100. The F135 goes in the F-35 and nothing else. The engine is the engine. The debate is over.The skin. Piled in the back of a civilian pickup truck. Timestamped April 3 2026 10:18 local Iran time. Dark layered flaking coating over composite honeycomb panels. RAM over honeycomb sandwich construction. The F-15E doesn’t have RAM skin. The F-16 doesn’t have RAM skin. The F-35 does. The $100 million stealth skin in the back of a pickup truck photographed on a Redmi Note 12.The stabilizer. Two men holding up a large tapered fragment. Swept leading edge. Hydraulic actuator housings at the root. The sweep angle and taper ratio match an F-35A horizontal tail stabilizer. Flush rivets. Low-observable panel lines. Full aircraft scale.The F135 engine. The RAM skin. The composite honeycomb. The stabilizer planform. The Martin-Baker US16E ejection seat. The non-magnetic fasteners on the body panel. The faceted stealth geometry. The air intake component. Every piece says F-35. One piece of painted tail says F-15E. The engine only goes in one aircraft on earth (ذكية / هوشمند، كاملة / کامل).Day 36. The Pratt & Whitney F135. The engine that settles it. On a table in the desert. Still closed. Day 36.
