"There was also a potential risk that anti-Iraqi forces might obtain information on specialist equipment. Doesn't pass the smell test. If they had time and safety to investigate, which the article says they did, they had time and safety to remove the equipment, and then send in a repair team, with sufficient force to protect the repair team and the aircraft. Hoping that the aircraft is still there and in one piece when they get back to it. Always a problem with anything left lying about in an Arab country.
Be a good chance to lure some Jihadies into a stand up fight and kill a bunch of 'em.
