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.
If Iran has the capabilities we have attributed to them for the last 30 years we are going to see a lot more of these losses. We haven’t faced an anti-air capable enemy like Iran since 1975.
If we the people dont get a handle on these traitors it is going to get ripe as fuck. This country isn’t ready for rationing and hyperinflation.
