Think about it folks. Somebody just flew into some of the most heavily defended airspace in the world. SOTA Russian S-300 and S-500 SAMS. In, and out, nobody even caught a sniff. F-35s? F-22s? Something entirely else? This is a “Brown Trouser Moment” for more than just the Iranians. What some might just call a “Significant Emotional Event”.

Oh, yeah. They’re saying “drones” because they don’t know. Some outstanding intel went into this one and some really good execution.

My first thought was drones. But then I read a report that people heard “military aircraft” shortly after the explosions.

Very well could have been fast-movers. They’ve been flying a defensive cap over the Green Zone area since the embassy attacks.

It really does not help to speculate the how.

In this world, yes it can happen.

Almost makes you think the Russkies stood down, right?

Like they did in Syria.

We don’t know what tech the U.S. Military may have and we don’t WANT to know.
