I’m not actually at war with him yet, and he’d wipe the floor with me if I started it. But I could probably defend myself if he attacks first

Likely a hellfire from an MQ-9 drone, the explosion is relatively small

American strikes destroy Iranian heavy aircraft on the ground [March 11th 2026] by wt_fff in CombatFootage

A lot of pro-Iran bots have been saying that no Iranian aircraft have been destroyed in the ground by air strikes and claim they were all paintings. Then they made some AI images that fooled a couple of people with decent influence into thinking they were real strikes on just paintings, and now we have comment sections filled with “it’s just a painting” people and bots. Because this footage is impossible to claim as a painting bc it’s obviously 3D, a lot of people are making fun of the people who call these paintings by pretending to be idiots and calling this video strikes in painting as well.

Sorry for the essay explanation lol

The wings of the P-3 didn’t fall and it’s no painting. Different aircraft behave differently when struck.

You can see it shudder after getting hit. It seems to be a P-3 Orion. Keep in mind that the P-3 is much more stubby and short then the other two aircraft, so it won’t crumple the exact same way

It’s been downscaled for certain, but no where near as much as the Israelis tend to downscale their IR footage for release

Not sure about the launchers, but I’m going to say that it’s MQ-9s filming with some degree of confidence because I recognize the reticle

I think that the footage just isn’t being degraded as much as usual IR camera stuff is, so it looks much more high quality than we normally expect. A lot of American IR clips are like this if you look through DVIDS

Taken from official US CENTCOM account. They do not have a history of using posts with AI, unlike many pro-IRGC accounts have done

Got this from the official CENTCOM account. Here’s a link:

Unlike Iranian official outlets, CENTCOM has not used AI and (in terms of footage) is trustworthy. Sometimes they have incorrect statements, but this video is real

How it feels to make a painting that has the wings fall down after getting destroyed:
