They had to insert the word “aircraft”
It’s a UAV, a drone

No one cares apparently. Look at last night’s election results. GOP failed big time. If they can’t win in the really off year election while out of power, they are clueless. They need to fire everyone at the RNC. It's abortion. Period. We will never get the White tramp-stamp vote ever again pushing this dead issue. We need a generation or more to rebuild the soul of this nation.

If this thing had pilots, we’d be in a hot war tomorrow. If it had pilots it may not have been in a foreign war zone in the first place.

Isn’t this how Iran got a big leg up on making Drones? They shot down one of ours some years ago and reverse engineered it. Now they sell them to others. They need a self destruct mechanism.

those sea lanes are patrolled EN MASSE by hundreds of assets (ships, radars, airplanes, satellites, etcetera) based right across the channel there in DJ (which is largely a foreign military parking lot with a dozen or more bases ... USA, France, UK, and many more). And Iran attacks foreign ships in the Gulf whenever they please, because they know Trump is not around to make them pay.
Also don't discount the absolute corruption of the UN and NGOs in these matters...there is no question UNRWA, UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, etc help shuttle in weapons as needed. The $$$ is flowing. I bet there are weapons, ammo, fuel, etc in those Gaza "humanitarian aid" trucks as well, despite Israel's best efforts to stop them.

There’s frequently a big difference between reality and what Houthis claim. They also claim to have struck Israel with dozens of missiles, despite all of those missiles failing to reach their target.

IF TRUE. No confirmation from US. Saudis are in Yemen fighting the Houthis. The little clowns fired some sort of cruise missiles all the way up to Sinai, and US shot them down, supported by Saudis tracking.
So this— is definitely an “IF” true, seeing as it comes from alibab wawa news or something. Let’s see if it is.

Iran: 40 proxy attacks on US troops and a shot down drone
US: 2 abandoned warehouses in the desert destroyed.
Sounds proportionate, right?

might, without the will to use it, is worthless, besides using it would destroy 0bama/Biden deal to get Iran nuclear weapons so Iran can start a nuclear war.

Houthis shoot down American MQ9 aircraft in Yemeni airspaceYawn, I'll get pissed when they shoot down a Space Shuttle, if we ever fly 'em again.
If we want to do something about this, I'll go with rounding up every Houthi and Houthi supporting Muslim Islamic Terrorist wannabe in the United states and deporting 'em to Yemen in only their undershirts.
That's what the United States should do.

Alas, you greatly underestimate how little our elected officials care about the lives of our servicemen. Especially Democrats.
At most, our servicemen are props or excuses.

Especially Democrats.
And George W. Bush. And Dick & Lizard Cheney. And Nikki Haley. And John McCain. And Lindsey Graham. Come to think about it ... especially Democrats AND REPUBLICANS.
