The reality is that this poor guy went to therapy because he kept trying to reboot the custom Linux distro derived operative system running his system with "sudo reboot" but systemd kept waiting for the stuck graphical enviroment process of his multifunctional displays (or probably CUPS, really..) to close.. forever.... so he had to disassemble one of the cockpit racks, and find and unplug and replug the electrical line coming from his APU in order to reboot the system... He never even really noticed the russian guy who was simply there flying upside down over his cockpit holding a pen and paper board with a phrase written on it: "I know, I know Systemd sucks! Try with ctrl+alt+f3, login, and then "init 6" Tovarish!" Few people will understand this, but the occasion was truly unrepeatable!

The story is real. But it doesn't mention that right after this incident a NASA RAFALE appeared in the sky emerging from outer Space inside a beam of light. It was piloted by non other than the actual ghost of Kyiv, namely the cyborg clone of Chuck Yeager, and it promptly destroyed the Su30SM as well as 90% of the Russian Air Force using the infinite Meteor missile spam spell cast MBDA wizards use to summon more missiles from the depths of the warp (at the cost of their souls so kudos to them). Italians were grateful and offered two thousand tons of traditional Italian cheese (of protected geographical status of course) to NASA, Dassault and MBDA, boosting the productivity of their engineers who now all use their hands to speak much more than before. Putin was so angry.

[@sohrabroozbahani4700]

Flankers do fly against F35s, it's called operation Red flag, it's an annual red vs blue war game held by USAF and many allied airforces attend to it, including Indian Airforce which gladly bring their hot toys around to measure them in action. The point is, whatever participating forces learn during the war game will be very very classified kind of information, and we would perhaps get to learn about those 30 40 years later and not any sooner...

[@petesheppard1709]

I have seen this story brought up in YT comments numerous times. Unfortunately some people will accept pure propaganda fantasies without question and spread them as if they were factual. Even after pointing out the obvious flaws in the story, they still repeated it.

[@DIREWOLFx75]

There was an original incident, that is known. But it was completely classified, so we only had the initial gossip journalism reporting to go from. And those were scrubbed from the internet long ago. Leaving only the very uncertain re-tellings that has resurfaced later. And AFAIK, no newsmedia outside of Estonia or Nordic nations reported it at all before the info blackout order slapped down. The online article disappeared within hours at most and it was never in any "credible" media. But from what i can recall, the basics are at least vaguely what this video said. Though 2 F-35s and noone ever said they were Italian. But even if the only thing was that a Su-30 snuck up on them, that's still a monumental embarassment, and the manufacturers easily have the political influence to have such an incident buried. But what really happened? Impossible to tell. USA and Nato were extremely insistent on completely sweeping it under the carpet however. Same treatment as Northstream terrorist attack by USA.

Similar disinformation was circulating around during that same time frame- only it involved a Russian aircraft performing low altitude passes over an American Aegis cruiser. The story goes that a Russian fighter performed several low altitude passes over the cruiser, and each time all the defensive measures and targeting systems would go dark until the aircraft withdrew. And just like this story the ship commander was relieved of duty resulting from this incident. It was all proven to be Russian disinformation and amplification which used social media seeding operations and lazy news reporting practices.

Mostly interference, I believe

[@corvanphoenix]

IMO it's actually a little obnoxious talking to fighter pilots about their aircraft or their operations. They don't even come close to telling you anything, even (hell probably particularly) if you demonstrate any kind of knowledge on the subject. They don't even comment on open source stuff. The second you go beyond simple chatter or basic platitudes about the service or the aircraft, they leave you there. They don't know you & they sure as hell aren't interested in risking anything at all, just to educate or impress a stranger. So this story stinks from top to bottom! The funniest part is what they said about the Italian pilot. He had PTSD from the event!?! LOL!!! If everything went exactly as planned, someone could have gotten PTSD, but it would have been a maintenance guy the pilot managed to corner & yell at for a few hours for giving him such a POS airframe - not the pilot himself XD

[@Asofe17]

For me the most interesting one is s200 of syria allegedly shooting down f35. long story short, they thought they shot down f16 but no f16 were lost and after a while one f35 was scrapped as "bird damage" by israel this one is the most interesting is this true or not or if its even possible for such old s200 to hit f35. But i guess even older one hit f117 which has superior geometric stealth than f35.

And two, a NATO pilot will not give out such embarrassing details to the press. Also the Russia- Ukraine war has exposed a lot of operational flaws with the Russian Armed forces including its airforce. So I cannot bring myself to believe this story .

There is no way that the passive electronic systems, which I interpret to mean the electro-optical arrays such as the omnidirectional IRST and the EOTS, which are again electro-optical systems, be affected by an electromagnetic system which is an electronic warfare pod.

Ah english speakers. First they add K to any Russian word starting with H (like "Hibiny", and get "khibiny"), then they read those words with K (Kibiny)

[@JosePineda-cy6om]

It's a problem of transliteration. Russian "h" sounds raspier than the English one, hence the digraph "kh" is deemed better to write that sound in the Latin script, since in some languages who use Latin writing that's exactly how that sound is written as opposed to H, which stands for the softer version (heck, even IPA does something similar). But then most people have just no idea of Russian phonology and so take the "kh" and pronounce it as a simple "k" - Sukhoi being the best example. It happens to a lot other languages, of course: when writing Mandarin Chinese in the Pinyin system, letter J is supposed to represent a partial retroflex "Ch" sound - similar to English "j" in "jump" but with the tongue not touching the upper teeth. And letter "B" is supposed to be an unaspirated "P" sound, as in "spirit" or "spouse", never as "pete" or "past". Vast majority of English speakers, though, pronounce "Beijing" with an English B and a French J sound, as the S in pleasure

[@jannegrey593]

I know the "actual" story of Polish F-16's that reported that Russian escort planes of bigger VIP airplane were acting dangerously and performed some odd maneuvers. And that is all.

[@olexp9017]

The only strange question here was "why there are no traces of this in italian media?"

[@justacomment1657]

Things tend to disappear in the online world rather quickly... ;)

No

My question is how was this su35 able to Electronically jam the f35 so easly

[@Mgaming61]

probably moderate at best. Plus I wouldn't be surprised, since their ECM capability has been proven to be quite effective

[@JonathanSigwart]

What does scramble mean in air force?

[@nickbrough8335]

From the Battle of Britain (maybe) in 1940. Pilots hurry (scramble) to get in their planes and launch to intercept German air craft. I dont think the term came from WW1, but it might have done.

[@ljubomirculibrk4097]

Launch of fighters to intercept a target or defend airspace, strategic bombers more sinister mostly a nuclear atack launch.

While it may not have happened as reported. If something of that nature did happen it would be covered up by Lockheed Martin and the US. Although it is made out as if the F-35 is untouchable it is in fact a fighter that is severely flawed and has a 29% readiness rate. Which completely downplayed. If however a Russian or Chinese fighter had the same readiness rate you would never hear the end of it. Perfect example media constantly speaks on how AL-51F1 was delayed, it went from clean sheet design 2010 to production in 2024 which is 14 Years. The F-119 design started in 1983 and first production engines were produced in 2000. Which is 17 years. The Western media controls narrative. Short of video proof you are not going to get negative news on the F-35.

[@ArizonaAstraLLC]

Are you kidding me? Western media will not deliver you negative F-35 news? Across the political spectrum and a cross different platforms and sizes of platforms, from CNN to Trump's speeches to American defense journals like "The Warzone" and "Sandboxx News" ALL had *very negative* things to say about the F-35 basically the entirety of the 2010s

[@bobo-cc1xw]

Well except for design wins in countries who can test it. And that assumes famously open countries like Russia and China are clear on their capabilities. I mean t72s are good tanks and even better flying turrets
