🛡️F-35C Downs Iranian Attack Drone in Arabian Sea to Defend U.S. Carrier, CENTCOM Says

Stealth jet launched from USS Abraham Lincoln intercepts Shahed-139 UAS as Iranian forces escalate pressure in the Strait of Hormuz

A U.S. Navy F-35C Lightning II fighter jet shot down an Iranian one-way attack drone in the Arabian Sea this week after the unmanned aircraft “aggressively approached” a U.S. aircraft carrier with what officials described as “unclear intent,” according to U.S. Central Command.

The stealth fighter launched from the USS Abraham Lincoln, which was transiting international waters roughly 500 miles off Iran’s southern coast, CENTCOM said. The command described the engagement as a defensive action taken to protect the carrier and its crew. No U.S. personnel were injured, and no American equipment was damaged.

While CENTCOM did not publicly identify the squadron operating the aircraft, recent Defense Department imagery shows Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314, known as the Black Knights, flying F-35Cs from the Lincoln earlier this week.
