Since I already got a reply about this, I’ll just copy-paste.
They hit one, out of how many that have been openly flying over Iran, day in and day out.
Probably, it managed to fly low over the one tiny patch of land that had a shoulder launched missile operator on it, and did so in broad daylight. That day, remove any of those variables, and the survivability goes from 99.9% to 100%, without even being careful.
It has a radar section like a large ball bearing, which is small, but not nothing and not as small as a B-21. And, it’s not fucking invisible, you can still see it with your naked eyes! Impossible to shoot down was never the bar anyone set.
What, aren’t those two mutually exclusive? It sees you first, or you see it first.
If it always kills you before you see it, regardless of any measure of luck on your part, you can’t shoot it down. So, another way to put this, is it only kills you before you see it most of the time. And, almost all of the time vs. Iran specifically.
Something could be impossible to shoot down because its too fast/maneuverable. Or impervious to damage. That same thing could also be completely incapable of killing you. Maybe don’t lazily copy and paste replies when you don’t understand the point you’re replying to.
If your stance is that an F35 getting shot down doesn’t matter; you can go ahead and have that opinion. I’m not gonna waste my time trying to convince you otherwise.

Agreed. Dunno why you’re arguing that.
