I see that an F-35 was damaged this weekend by hostile fire. The pilot is fine. Everyone is okay.
The pearl-clutches are wondering how this happened? The F-35 is stealthy, invisible, invincible. No, it's not. It's an aircraft. It's a fine, technologically advanced aircraft, but it is still just a metal tube.
There is still a thing called the Golden BB, and it still comes into play. Basically, if the enemy throws enough crap into the sky, a plane will inevitably run into some of it. The Golden BB has been around forever, and aviators know about it. Eventually, some sonofabitch gets lucky.
The pilot is okay, the airframe can be repaired.
