This would be a drone strike?

DWOB = Doctors With Our Brains. They were idiots to be there in the first place.

Spoofing is not so easily done with our weapons. The Russians have a total of two systems basically in the EMD phase capable of doing so and none are reported in theater. These are just too valuable to them.

No, this facility was targeted, the real question is why.

Our ROE are very strict, something caused the FAC to think this was a legitimate target.

I am in no way a Russian apologist but do respect their Electronic Warfare capability.

Maybe they need a few more borders.

These MSFers are the same that are picking up “refugees” just off the coast of Africa and ferrying them to Europe. Screw ‘em.

The strike may have resulted in collateral damage to a nearby medical facility,” U.S. Army Colonel Brian Tribus, a spokesman for U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement forwarded to TheBlaze.

Given that the hospital was treating wounded people no matter which side they were on, could the bombing of the hospital been deliberate?

"This incident is under investigation.”

Yes, the pallets with barrels of whitewash are being received as Col. Tribus spoke!

If I’m not mistaken, the explanation was outdated maps.

I thought all operations were from the air. Were you there as military, contractor, or an unfortunate traveler?

I imagine US military relies on encrypted positioning. And if the Russians were capable of hacking the system, I’m guessing the DWOB event wasn’t the best use of that capability.

Putin kills terrorists, Obama kills doctors.

Military. Bosnia was my big overseas deployment. That embassy mess was a result of sloppy land navigation technique. There will always be events like this in war. War tends to be sloppy.

Poor guesses, but hey, I didn’t expect much.
