Hmm, someone got a photo of the rescue helos being refuelled. Lucky the person with the camera also did not have a surface-to-air-missile, that seems pretty risky (they also would have the speed and heading of the helicopters, meaning if they dialed in a tip to Iran's armed forces, those helicopters are going to have one heck of a time getting in and out... especially if refueling is required for the operation).
BakersRelay@ai6yr Ah no. They’re actively showing the ejection seat on ground, Iranian Police have BOLO issued for pilots, Stars and Stripes is carrying an article on the shoot down. If you’re going to lie you have to do it better than this…
Solo la 🌍 salva a la 🌎Well, CENTCOM isn't lying. The plane is accounted for. One wing accounted over there, the canopy is accounted over on that road, the main body is accounted in that smoking pile, and the ejection seat is accounted in that field yonder. All accounted for.
@jakebrake @ai6yr So plane but not pilots. That’s a lie by other means…
