That’s true for all pilots who get shot down over enemy territory in the Middle East, regardless of which country they come from.

You mean the A10 pilots who bombed Syrian troops for 1h right before a beartie attack would get the same treatment? Or the F18 pilot who shot down a syrian jet because he was bombing beardies too close to a beardie training/rest area?

Maybe. Then again I seriously doubt it.

The goal of the US is to dispose of Syria. Wesley Clark said so years ago and now it’s easy to verify he was right.

What’s the only fighter plane that bagged a couple F14s?

I’d pick the Mig 19. Wiki says first flight in 1953 & service entry in 1955.

Here I thought it was to meet the needs of the partner nations that shared the development costs and are currently sharing competitive bidding on contracts to the benefit of their own aerospace industries while getting a modern and capable asset.

Let me put it this way. The fact that the US like so much to bomb the crap out of many a country means that through sheer economies of scale they can get guided bombs for cheap.

So what next, you guys are going to advise Russia to bomb dozens of countries with guided munitions to lower unit cost? That sure would be more humane than dropping bombs that fall 50 meters off ISIS.

Fact is noone knows what special forces do. Same for “intelligence” services. Fact is they have been doing the worst kind of stuff for decades.

Saying that US intelligence or specops don’t help ISIS is just delusional. If you knew as much you wouldn’t be able to tell without facing life in isolation.

As for that P8, it is obviously a coincidence, just like the A10s bombing syrian government positions for an hour just before an ISIS attack on exactly the same position. Nothing to see here.
