A British F-35B Lightning II has shot down a hostile drone over Jordanian airspace – marking the first combat strike by a UK F-35.
The jet launched from RAF Akrotiri on a mission to protect British interests in the region.
Former RAF fighter pilot Sean Bell called the moment “adrenaline-fuelled and surreal,” but questioned the cost of using a high-tech fighter to destroy a cheap drone similar to the Shahed-136.
