US F-35 fighter jet hit by Iranian fire and makes emergency landing

A US F-35 stealth fighter jet was hit by suspected Iranian fire during a mission and had to make an emergency landing. Reports say the pilot was wounded and the aircraft sustained serious damage, with one analysis estimating $800 million in total damage to US bases from recent Iranian strikes.

This is reportedly the first time an F-35 has been hit by Iran. Several headlines discuss the incident as a challenge to the aircraft's perceived invincibility and stealth capabilities.
