I wonder if the unimproved runway was too short to land the C130 with the little birds inside but they didn’t care because they had to have the little birds for the op. They may have known there was a good shot they would run out of runway and end up in the sand trap.
They brought in different planes to get out which may have been able to stop and turn around on a shorter runway. May have been an acceptable loss to complete the mission from the planning stage and not necessarily a surprise.

Caliche roads work for medium duty trucks, but when wet it's slippery as baby poo. They were landing on a farm to market type road checked out by the cia and just got off the firmament

Look, I get it, Dems.
You think buying Greenland is dumb.
You think trash-talking NATO is dumb.
You think Hegseth firing generals is dumb.
You think bombing Iran is dumb.
Fine. Maybe you’re right. Maybe you’re wrong. I’ll buy you a beer and we can argue about it.
But that’s not the point.
Every administration in American history has done dumb things.
Jefferson had an embargo that tanked his own economy.
LBJ had Vietnam.
Carter sold the Panama Canal for $1.
W. had “Mission Accomplished.”
Obama had…. where do I even begin?
Dumb is bipartisan. Dumb is American. Dumb is fine. DC runs on dumb decisions.
What NONE of them ever did, what is truly, mind-melting, pants-on-head, clown-car-fire, galaxy-brained, lead-paint-chip-eating, 50-IQ-Neanderthal-ripping-a-bong dumb, was pay NGOs by the busload to smuggle tens of millions of people, including actual convicted criminals, across a border we spent trillions pretending to defend, then hand them free four-star hotels, free cell phones, free ATM cards, and a court date in 2031 they were never going to show up for.
That is not a policy. That is a SNL cold open someone forgot to write a punchline for.
A five-year-old with a juice box could tell you that was Bozo-the-Clown-on-crack, Weekend-at-Bernie’s-running-DHS, “hold-my-beer-I’m-gonna-try-something” levels of stupid. My golden retriever could have run a tighter border. A Magic 8-Ball would have outperformed the entire Biden interagency.
That’s the new threshold, Democrats.
That’s the low-water mark. That’s the floor. That is the Mariana Trench of public policy and you personally rented the Titan submersible.
Argue all you want about the Strait of Hormuz. Write your op-eds. Go on cable TV with Tom Nichols. Clutch your pearls about Greenland.
But until Trump proposes something even half as mind-bendingly, bone-crushingly, civilization-forfeitingly brain-dead as what Biden and Kamala did with our borders, I genuinely do not care.
Zero F’s given by me.

I am bleeding my pockets dry paying astronomical prices for a half broken internet connection just to read what the outside world is saying. And let me be honest, it is absolutely infuriating to see how completely disconnected so many of you are from the actual mood of the people inside Iran.
Do not lose your nerve. Do not be afraid.
The narrative you are seeing right now is a complete illusion.
The voices currently being amplified online are fake, manipulated, and engineered by the cyber army of this cannibalistic regime.
They have locked us in a digital prison and severed our connection to the world specifically so they can control the narrative and project a false sense of fear and submission.
We are not cowering in the dark. We are watching a dying terrorist syndicate thrash in its final days.
Do not judge the resolve of the Iranian people based on the fabricated noise of our captors. Wait until these walls come down. Wait until this internet blackout is broken and you can finally hear the unfiltered, undeniable roar of a nation that has been stripped to the bone.
You will see exactly what an unstoppable force looks like.
Hold the line. Level the playing field and we will finish the job.

I don't know the whole story yet.
But a C-130 is not a small plane. It may have landed OK and then the nose wheel/other gear sunk deeper from sitting there for a while.
Pure speculation on my part but something kind of similar happened when a Boeing 737 in 1988 emergency landed on a levee near New Orleans and it was kind of a rush to get the engines fixed and get it back in the air as it was sinking into the ground.
It is wild that a decision was made so quickly to get smaller planes and then consider the Hercs and the baby birds a lost cause and blow them up in place.

Hopefully that’s the humanitarian aid (shoulder fire rockets) from Russia and china

Time to unleash a WWII level bombing campaign tomorrow night.
I will be disappointed if Trump holds back.

Trump would be wise to put the onus on them instead of us/him when it comes to his ultimatum. Strike an obscure power plant or refinery at 8pm on the dot tomorrow to show them we're serious if concessions haven't been made, then very publicly warn them:
We've struck ____ at will, with zero resistance, and we can do that all over your country. We will leave your entire country in the dark and in the cover of that dark, we will arm the citizens using our elite Intel agencies and spies.
Thousands are without power currently, but we will help them regain their comfort immediately if you step down and allow free and fair elections and open shipping in the strait of Hormuz
This is only a small taste of what we can do to you
For every ship you attack or hold up in the strait, we demolish another power plant
For every ballistic missile you launch, we demolish another
For every drone swarm attack, one bridge will go down per drone launched
We wont attack a single power plant or other infrastructure if none of the above occur and you give yourselves over to X embassy, where you will be granted immunity from death but not from exile. Otherwise the lights go out and your own people will hunt you down with millions of guns we have so graciously provided, and they won't be so kind as to offer you immunity

We're about done, pretty sure Israel doesn't have a 60 day mark. They will be on their arse now anytime a defense post or missile site is even looked at.

It needs to happen. Anyone with two brain cells knows that it’s the only way Iran will be changed for the better.
And Iranians will be thanking Trump decades from now if (fingers crossed) he does it.
