minus-square🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·1 day agoThis looks like another angle of the one we knew about - before going into this we had 16 of these, with one destroyed, we’re down to 15. Is this being asserted as being a second AWACS aircraft hit putting us down to 14 now? It looks to me like just the other side of the one we already knew about.

minus-squaresp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·edit-224 hours agoI have also heard that yeah, we’re down to 14 now, Saagar was freaking out about it on Breaking Points. They also had a US Mil, guy who opposed Iraq 03, used to do a lot of war gaming, tail end of the show. Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff for Colin Powell. Yeah remember those two tankers that apparently had a midair collison not too long ago, one went down with all souls aboard? He said it was due to a shoulder fired missile. Way I read that is some militia in Iraq brushed off their emergency Stinger, for a special occasion. Fairly sure an Iraqi militia group claimed credit for it not long after it happened. The Green Zone in Iraq has also been… people are just flying bomb drones into it, blowing shit up inside the fortress/embassy.
