Not to worry. Two weeks to flatten the curve. Tops.
Someone pointed out in comments reply for that the Iranian missile fires a second booster in the terminal phase. It starts at the 22 second mark.
lol.
Thank you for letting me know that all will be well in two weeks.

This is supposedly the locals searching for the American aircrew.
There is some foliage in the video but this is near a river and there is almost no trees in most of that territory. Not too many places to hide

In the video, it didn’t look like the helicopter was “shot down”. Just sayin’.
“Wars begin when you will, but they do not end when you please”
-Niccolò Machiavelli
Why stop now? We are only weeks or maybe days away from victory. Or do you think the government may have lied to us?
I don’t like your ideas much, I’m sure you are a
good reasoned person and very thoughtful.
The F15 is a 1969 design.
The A10 is a 1960’s design - I went to A10 depot level maintenance school in 1972.
The Blackhawk is a 1960’s design approved in 1972.
Oldest MANPADS date from 2015.
These are war machines older than my 52
year old daughter. MANPADS are much newer.
It is a fact of evolution that if don’t
adapt you will cease to exist.
I’m very sure if we were not hog tied by Democrats
we would be very much more up to date.
Lasers, sound, and other weapons I can’t imagine.
Tanks, airplanes, surface ships as war machines
are things of the past.
We’re winning in an unprecedented way while you are disgustingly longing for evidence to the contrary. You’re a sicko.
Good points - Also under Biden precious funds for the military were spend on making the sexual weirdo community happy,
Sucks we’ve lost three airframes. But c’mon compared to Iran’s losses that’s tiny. Also we lose as many if not more in some training and normal non-war exercises. Of course lots of hand wringing by people who apparently want Iran to “win.”
Do have to wonder where Iran is getting this new clearly more advanced anti-air capability: Russia or China?
That video is from yesterday…yesterday there were lots of videos of both flying aircraft, searching and Iranians on the ground, searching for the Airman
…. No NEW videos today at all.
Also, Both the U.S. and Iran silent on the missing airman… don’t know what that means today…. Now 2:30 in the afternoon in Iran.
OMG! We are in a shooting war and taking casulaties! This is terrible! We must be losing!
We rescued one fighter pilot and there’s an active search for a second one.
Is anyone here crazy enough to believe that, with all the activity, there would be zero casualties?
Oh FR, how far the quality of FReepers has fallen since i found you after 9-11.
There’s an ongoing financed coup going on FR. Leftists Libertarians are constantly posting. Probably Soros backed.
