… Fighter in 2017?.

"Key point: Although Moscow claimed they damaged the fighter in 2017, the proof is unclear as to what exactly happened.

Pro-Russian media are claiming that an Israeli F-35I was hit and damaged by a Russian-made S-200 surface-to-air missile during an Israeli air strike in Syria earlier this month. Israel says one of its F-35s was damaged—after colliding with a bird…"

I suspect the bird strike is more plausible, but even the Russians/Syrians can get lucky, if they throw enough stuff into the air.

Ummmmm, so a Russian made S-200 surface-to-air missile hit simply causes a bit of damage? I do not think there was a hit…

Possibility of a bad proximity blast, and/or a weapon failure, but I think that is quite a bit less likely than the birdstrike report.

just for the record, we're talking about extremely "patriotic" and not especially reliable Russian media here.
Our MOD has not reported anything similar.
S-200 is good (and old) and not this good to score a guided hit on a stealth. Still, it throws a lot of "shrapnel" into the air, so you can indeed score a hit you were not hoping for.

Yevgeni, do you have a web site up anywhere? Contact information?

@Barin: Thanks! I'd believe fragment damage from an SA-5, no chance in hell it was a direct hit except by the Israeli pilot flying head-on into the missile!
