SEE IT: Israel shoots down Iranian fighter jet in dramatic air-to-air combat footage

The Israel Defense Forces released dramatic footage showing an Israeli F-35I “Adir” stealth fighter in aerial combat firing a missile that strikes and destroys an Iranian Yak-130 jet over Tehran.

The video appears to capture the missile launch and the moment the target is hit, with audio indicating “target down.”

It represents the first confirmed air-to-air kill for the F-35 in combat and the first time the Israeli Air Force has shot down a manned aircraft in more than 40 years.
