I think it's ok to say that it crashed into the ground but the pilot survived.
With 'emergency landing' people assume it was just a rough landing whereas the plane here is completely and utterly broken.
- MarkMarine 6mo agoAs an aviator, that right there counts as an emergency landing. A hard one. They limped it back home, they didn’t ditch a very sensitive airframe over enemy territory, I’d call that a win and the pilot deserves a medal for that.
- olejorgenb 6mo agoSource of that image though.. ?
- daleswanson 6mo agoAn AI prompt in June 2025.
- Brybry 6mo agoI don't know if you noticed but that's not a US F-35 (whole image is probably fake tbh) and the reddit post is from 2025.
- aucisson_masque 6mo agoNop I didn't, assumed it was right since the reddit post where it was shown had many upvotes. Thanks for pointing it out.
- johanyc 6mo agoYou should at least share an image of f35...
