You should let the DOW know of this tactic. These guys should really have some escorts with them.....

Makes sense. Saw a video of the hawks refueling off a herc.

AMAZING, defending the Iranian regime and giving them the benefit of doubt…But if Iran nuked somebody, it would be exactly like all the libs after 9/11, All they did was second guess why we didn’t do anything before about Al Qiada.

I remember that as bipartisan second guessing which got us to the Patriot Act. But maybe my memory is bad

I'm not sure using "We've got enough nuclear material for 11 bombs" was a good negotiating point from the Iranian side of the table. Didn't seem to get the result I think they thought it would.

Really surprised they didn't eat some mini-gun in return.

They probably didn’t know they were being shot at unless they would’ve seen muzzle flash or impact from a round.

It's also literally *the* difficult part of making a nuke. The rest is largely simple (for a country with advanced manufacturing capabilities like Iran) and extremely easy to hide. The massive array of centrifuges is the tricky bit.

It's amazing to hear people argue that "Iran shouldn't have nukes, but we can at least let them get close." There's not a single use for Uranium enriched to 50% aside from weaponry.

It can be perfectly logical for Iran to want nukes for deterrence. It's more likely they would use it to wipe out Israel, but who cares? Just because it's logical doesn't mean we should allow it.

Agree LR. So many here don’t know (too young) to understand about “Going Downtown”. Lost a few friends flying Thuds on Route Pack 6. Finally, LineBacker 2 brought NV to talking after they had exhausted their SAMs. Unfortunately, many Buff crews suffered. But ended it at a cost. And Desert Storm we lost 75 aircraft.

As for the MIA crew member. Hopefully, the best outcome, like the rescue of Roger Locker after 23 days evading. Good friend, Dale Stovall, flew the furthest mission into NV to rescue him. Chased down by 2 MiGs that fired Atolls at him.

Time will tell.

Check 6, SHFP

No way to know if true yet, but perhaps some hope for the missing F-15 crewmember.

I really want this outcome. So much. And I hope he can guest star at SERE with the story. Until then, the media can fuck off with their reporting. I was caught yelling at the computer when reporters were sharing that we had an MIA. That should not be in the news at all as all it does is tell Iran to hunt harder. WHAT THE FUCK!!

Same WSO was also on one of the -15Es who were shot down by that Kuwaiti F-18 last month.

No fucking way. If true, it’s time for that guy to hang up the harness and find a way into some sort of ground combat branch since that’s clearly where Murphy wants him.

Dude needs to be given medals and a retirement.

Godspeed to all in harms way tonight. Lots of reports about the Iranians sending forces to disrupt and they got pummeled.
