I'm not sure what happened in that picture. The reports I've seen stated the pilots reported no drone sighting or anything else, just a loud bang. It is the inspection on the ground after landing that is resulting in the claim of a drone hit. But I've seen no evidence provided of it other than the lack of blood or other residue that would possibly be present as a result of a bird strike.

Seems a strange thing to use lack of evidence as evidence, in this case.

Be good to see a Phantom held against the X shaped damage at the front.
But that will never happen. :D

Latest is that it was some kind of bad radome installation or radome manufacturing defect that lead to cracking and buckling during approach. Not sure I buy that either. Stresses on that shouldn't have been too bad during a landing approach vs just about any other part of the flight where speeds would have been higher.
