This would quite possibly be the biggest diplomatic incident in history if this happened, and the idea that all parties involved would just collaborate to hide it from the public is full on conspiracy theory nonsense. If Israel attempted to nuke Iran, Iran wouldn't be behaving passively and cautiously like they've been doing with this drone strike. If Russia shot it down, there's no way in hell the west would just quietly let it go under the radar.
And there's the obvious fact that others have pointed out that F-35s are fighters not bombers and so aren't capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. And the even more obvious fact that Israel has missiles, which have been the preferred way to launch nukes since the 60s. This whole thing isn't even "funny" absurd, it's "an insult to people's intelligence" levels of absurd.
Yeah the F-35 project is kinda like the M-14 project. It’s supposed to be a wunderwaffe that is multi-role. But like the M-14 it’s a waste of money because it’s never going to be great at anything. Actually the F-35 is even worse because at least the M-14 functioned as a gun.

I agree with most of your take but not sure about this part

Oh, huh. There we go. TIL.
