How to take down a US F-35 over Iran? Chinese engineer's prophetic tutorial goes viral

A striking phenomenon is emerging from China as the Middle East conflict presses on: technically skilled civilians are volunteering their expertise online to help Iran counter US military might, without seeking payment or official backing.

The trend was vividly illustrated on March 14, when a detailed tutorial on taking down America’s F-35 appeared on Chinese social media and went viral.

Created by the account “Laohu Talks World” and subtitled in Persian, the video meticulously explained how Iran could use its low-cost systems to target and destroy the advanced stealth fighter. It drew tens of millions of views.

Five days after the post, on March 19, Iran claimed it had struck a US F-35.
