U.S. Drops Menacing F-35 ‘Apex Predator’ Video | WATCH
The Pentagon/DoD-aligned accounts released (or boosted) a genuinely intimidating F-35 hype video at the exact moment Iranian propaganda channels are pushing fake “we sank your carrier” clips. It's deliberate messaging: “We see your AI videos. Here’s what real stealth looks like.”
Yesterday, the “Department of War” released a high-production F-35 Lightning II promotional video entitled “LETHALITY AT ITS BEST.”
It was also amplified by Lockheed Martin and the official F-35 Joint Program Office accounts.
The narration and visuals hammer home the F-35’s stealth, sensor fusion, and “first look, first shot, first kill” capabilities, basically saying: you won’t even know it’s there until it’s too late. This is not a brand-new video created overnight, but it was strategically dropped (or heavily promoted) right now.
The Iranian Side: AI Propaganda Videos
For the past several days, Iran-linked channels (especially IRGC-affiliated ones) have been flooding social media with AI-generated videos showing:
Massive drone and missile swarms (including claimed “hypersonic” Fateh missiles) overwhelming the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group.
The carrier being hit, split in two, sinking in flames.
U.S. sailors and aircraft fleeing in panic.
These clips are slick, cinematic productions, not real footage, and are clearly meant as psychological warfare. They emerged amid:
Iranian state and proxy accounts frame them as “warnings” to Trump: negotiate on our terms or face this.
This is classic tit-for-tat information warfare:
Feb 10: U.S. drops the sleek, menacing F-35 “silent hunter” video.
Feb 11 (today): Iran holds its big 22 Bahman Revolution anniversary rallies and displays mock coffins with photos of U.S. commanders, including CENTCOM’s Admiral Brad Cooper (as we discussed earlier).
Both sides are using media to project strength and deter the other while talks continue in the background.
