Six Airmen Dead in KC-135 Crash During Iran Ops

Six Airmen who were aboard a KC-135 Stratotanker that crashed in Western Iraq supporting Epic Fury March 12 are confirmed to be dead.

Lack of parachute was a financial driven decision. Good probably for peace time but dearly paid by airmen during a war. I would remind all those skeptical that B-17, 24, 29 and 50 war-time operations have proved that egressing a multi-crewed large aircraft is always possible for at least some.
"Some" being good enough in my book.

No one should be required to serve as a Fiscal Kamikaze.

''A former U.S. official said “no one has done more with less than the Iranians.”

Iranians are running on a defense budget of cca 2.5% that of US and Israel. An that is on a good year .Not to mention locked out of worlds defense markets for past 47+years


Air-Power seems to be hallucinating strike numbers.

From today's BBC News feed on the war with Iran:

15:22Breaking​


US President Donald Trump says that "one way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!"

In a post on his platform Truth Social, he writes that he hopes China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK will send war ships to the key shipping channel so it can "no longer be a threat" by Iran.

He adds that many countries will be sending war ships to keep the key shipping channel "open and safe".

Chinese satellite imagery indicates that the USS 'Abraham Lincoln' has moved away from Iran’s coast and is now operating near Salalah, Oman, behind the coastal mountain range. The carrier is now more than 1,100 km from Iran, after previously being observed about 350 km from the Iranian coast. The USS 'Gerald R. Ford' has also repositioned, moving further south in the Red Sea and operating off the coast of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Earlier this week, US Central Command repudiated Iranian claims that the two aircraft carriers retreated from the Arabian Sea. The open-source satellite imagery now available proves the carriers have indeed repositioned to be out of range of Iranian missiles.

The effects on an israeli shelter of what looks to be a direct hit,tho the person claims it was only a 500kg warhead,so possibly a solid fueled quasi-ballistic?.
