A second Air Force combat plane, an A-10 Warthog, crashed in the Persian Gulf region, with the lone pilot reportedly rescued. This incident occurred near the Strait of Hormuz around the same time an F-15E was shot down over Iran.

In the F-15E incident, one crew member was saved, while search operations continue for the second airman.

Details regarding the A-10 crash are limited, including information on the circumstances of the incident.

It’s like beating a football team 41 to 7 and they say you’re losing.

Not to mention all the pilots are ok.

Not good when US aircraft are being shot down. Doesn’t matter how it’s “justified”

Downing an A-10 is like murdering a divine angel.

It sounds like Russia or China may have smuggled some shoulder fired missiles in to Iran and our intelligence missed it somehow. I’m just speculating but if Iran has had this capability all along then why have they waited so long about using it.

Correct

But the unfortunate thing is these events are considered huge wins for the Iranians and may strengthen their resolve

Absent these events they might be more willing to surrender or negotiate

Now they've got false hope

I saw one with engine problems over Toledo Bend one afternoon. Black smoke was trailing from one of the engines. It was actually pretty cool.

Just like Pearl Harbor was a huge win for the Japanese.

We saw how that turned out.

So that's roughly 50 million dollars worth of equipment today....

But it's ok to put our grandchildren further into national debt for a regime change war in the Middle East because Trump did it this time....


The longer this goes the worse for literally everyone but Israel.

We're still fighting? I thought this was over a month ago.
