Guest ThatGuy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) One Syrian tweeted that "IS downed a warplane." Hope it isn't true. Godspeed, y'all. He thought the plane was shot down because it was heading in his direction. So he started tweeting and that's when a JDAM hit him dead in the face from that same aircraft. I hope they are monitoring these guys FB and Twitter accounts. Please reveal yourselves and don't forget to post selfies..lots of them.

HeloDude Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So...are we friends with Assad now? Either way, he really, really appreciates the help. Crossing the 'red line' now equates to us doing your dirty work. Didn't the President say mulitple times that Assad's days were numbered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestik Møøse Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Israel downed a Syrian jet with a Patriot. ISIS is likely taking the credit. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/24/world/middleeast/israel-syria.html First shootdown of an enemy jet by a Patriot.

polcat Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Can we update the title of the thread to "Saddle up for Syria? Or Operation Deny Christmas '14"? F-22s popped their cherry, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThatGuy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So empty buildings and training camps with jungle gyms were torn apart by million dollar weaponry. A class of 3rd graders are pissed off in Syria and Iraq now. What did the jungle gym ever do to hurt America? It will be a recruiting tool.

I guess "missile launch" was their work north call. Landed back in Syria after ejection. Blame the WSO. I can think of at least two USAF crews that flew way more than 0.5 NM into countries that we are openly hostile towards. Good thing they didn't have Israels IADS. That doesn't count the incursions we've had into Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
di1630 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 CNN claiming this morning that Raptor got it's beak wet. Glad they got in the fight. USAF prediction: -DFC's in lieu of air medals -McKay Trophy frontrunner for penetrating highly contested ISIS airspace narrowly defeating AK-47 gunfire. -Confirmed status as #1 A/G platform in aviation history finally displacing the B-1 of the coveted role. -Added to the list of USAF CAS (defined as any A/G mission/recon) proven aircraft but outdated and in urgent need of replacement by the F-35. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
