More bad news

Seems the lone Iranian AWACS, while flying over Terhan at the climax of a miltary parade, “bumped” into one of the escorting F5s - both planes landing in a flaming wreak on the tomb of Ruhollah Khomeini...

The loss of this airborne control system has left Iran's air force and air and missile defenses without "electronic eyes" for surveillance of the skies around its borders.

Not a conspiracy guy, but that was no accident.

What a shame. NOT! The landing spot is rather prophetic, IMO.

Are the Iranian pilots that bad, planes maintained that poorly, or something else altogether? Any guesses, folks?

How fitting that it should crash on the tomb of the leader of the Iranian revolution.

Bwahahahaha! Pwned. It’s pretty bad when your ‘eyes in the sky’ crashes into another aircraft.

Those guys are mighty scary.

Allah has spoken! Since Mohammed did not have planes, neither may you! I strike them down in flames!

Woops! That might have come in handy!

I wonder how much they could afford to keep that one AWACS in the air, though. It seems unlikely it would have been airborne during an Israeli strike unless they had advance warning.
