Talk about rubbish on the net?? Think there is a big lie on this one?

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.

I don't buy it.

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

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.
