Iran - It's Not Just Hostages and Arms Deals Anymore

[6souls]

Despite Iran’s military being completely destroyed with no anti aircraft capabilities according to Trump, Iran managed to shoot down a US fighter jet and may or may not have already captured the pilot

F-15E, 2 pilots missing

Trump admin has been firing people all day.

These are definitely the people telling him to his face that the Iran war is stupid.

Or he wants to use tactical nukes or the draft or something.

They refused to deny promotions to black & female officers

Where are you getting that

Hegseth's policy about facial hair regs is clearly racially motivated, but something like that seems too blatant even for him.

Buria was Hegseth's acting chief of staff

K but that's not what I asked. You said he fired them specifically because of the blocked promotions.

[Zealot]

The way you responded it seemed like you hadn't heard of the blocked promotions and were saying they wouldn't be that blatant.

Also one of the reasons given for them was "President Trump doesn't want to stand next to a black woman in photos."

Ok that's fair.

The story about Trump not wanting to stand next to a black military officer was like a 3rd hand report from a year ago that was never verified or corroborated, they're trying to tie it into this story for some reason.

One pilot rescued, Israeli intelligence is looking for the second

Wind direction, weight, ejection point, geography, etc.

When my wife and I were in the Army and our units would do air ops together they’d always put her at the front of the chalk line or else she’d land a hundred meters past the drop zone and into the wood line. And it’d only be a few seconds difference between her jump and my own.

Apparently a second plane went down somewhere in the Persian Gulf.

Fuck you that was a submersible plane.

[Zealot]

All planes are submersible if you don't care about your plane.

Two Blackhawk helicopters involved in the search and rescue mission for the crew of the F-15E downed over Iran were also struck by incoming fire. There were injuries to some of the crew aboard the helicopters, both of which were able to make it back to their base.

The second plane was a A-10 "Warthog" attack aircraft.

But how is this possible? We control the skies!

a 10 year old with a rpg can fuck up your day real quick

[Anoat]

Real question maybe this is dumb I can see an RPG taking down a helicopter but how the fuck is a shoulder mounted RPG taking down a jet with how fast they are? Feels like an impossible task
