A second United States Air Force combat aircraft crashed in the Persian Gulf region on Friday as rescue teams continued searching for a missing crew member from a downed F-15E Strike Eagle, according to two U.S. officials cited by The New York Times.
The second aircraft, an A-10 Thunderbolt II, went down near the Strait of Hormuz, and its pilot was safely rescued, the officials said.
The crash occurred around the same time that an F-15E was shot down over Iran, where one crew member has already been recovered and search teams continue looking for the second.
Yeah nah. They’re just not as good as they think they are.
There’s a reason for having the allies. They’re the brains of the team.
The US tries a full scale conventional war on that territory, they’ll get thumped there as well. Sure, we’ll get great clips on infrastructure being destroyed and as they do, civilians being double tapped but the real story will be different.
Why do you think the people who dictate terms to the US won’t send their own troops in, but send Americans to die for them?
