He claimed there was a “physics problem” in addition to a “time and distance problem”
*******
BS. There was leadership problem.
Okay, so “WHO” told SpecOps to hold in place? And a physics problem? What? They had to fly over the poles?
Unless a carrier has/had jets on alert sitting on deck, aircraft would not have been ready. Navy, Marines or Air Force. Very few, if any fighter squadrons have birds on alert. Even if you could scramble them, the best you could hope for is a show of force (flying low, loud, and letting them know you’re there) or popping flares.
There’s alot that goes in to maintaining an alert bird that people don’t know about, or have been misguided about because of what they see in movies.
Don’t know anything about physics problems though.
Regarding Spec Ops being told to stand down, not surprised. Fast roping dudes onto the scene or close by would have probably made a huge difference. Then again, so would a low flying jet.
Tell him to eat more prunes
Ok. What specifically was the physics problem?
ANd who gave the order to hold in place?
