Iranian General killed by US Drone.

Each B-52 is capable of carrying up to 70,000lbs of munitions. That's 420000lbs of bombs potentially about to be dropped on your country, not far short of the total amount of bombs dropped on Dresden during Operation THUNDERCLAP, WWII.

Yes, no disputing somebody f*cked up, but if you thought for one second you were about to get rained on by 420000lbs of munitions I'm sure you couldn't guarantee you would be in the best frame of mind.

For fuck sake, no one thought they were about to get reigned on.

Yep. That video is pretty conclusive. 100% shot down.

Shouldn't their be a light of the missile from surface to air being seen? As all you get is one flash of light and a bang.

I am not an expert but the vids of the misiles fired at the US targets had lights of the missile rockets coming from the surface to their tarhets with a light trail, where that vid doesn't.

Maybe it is the angle of the shot, I expect some Video wizz can render a 3D 360° shot tofully clarify

They obviously did or they wouldn’t have fired two fucking missiles.

Eh? You can see the missile streaking towards the plane before the explosion. How bad is your eyesight?

Pretty embarrasing for Iran, but it wouldnt be the first time a country had shot down an airliner and then denied it. Putin's Russia did it two or three years back with the Malayisan plane and the Yanks did it with USS Vincennes. All pretty shame ful stuff.

Very articulate fella but very dubious content, feel sure there would be far more voicing the same rhetoric if this was completely true.

It’s actually a poor rant the more I think about it.

He goes into little detail and doesn’t even focus on Iraq. Going off on one about western imperialism centuries ago and slavery isn’t helping his argument, it just makes him sound like every anti-western preacher, rather than someone with actual information about war crimes carried out by coalition troops.

So thanks for sharing @bobmcfc but he’s clearly agenda driven.

You can see the missile right at the start, the dot of light moving through the sky, then the explosion.

How do you track aircraft with stealth technology, a B2 bomber could take off from the States and fly half way across the world and they wouldn’t have a clue it would be there until it was too late.

The Iranians haven’t come out of this well if they felt their could be US aircraft in their airspace you are least stop all civilian flights to remove any doubt of what planes were up there.
