Instead of guessing (wrongly), just read the Wikipedia articles.
> Because jets don't materialize in midair when they're needed and disappear when their mission is over. They are logistical nightmares
Yes, but the GGP says they are vulnerable during takeoff and landing, which is irrelevant to this event.
> This was a widely reported incident, it is highly-studied in tactical circles and information on the shootdown is available online and in print.
I think neither of you read the Wikipedia articles and that's why you don't understand the conversation. If you have something to add, please do.
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoYou’re confusing two commenters, one who brought up Serbia, the other—me—speaking to the facts and circumstance relevant to this incident. The details in Hegseth’s messages would allow an actor like the Houthis to take out our jets on takeoff and landing. We tightly guard those details because they’re highly actionable tactical intel. The fact that a drunk TV influencer didn’t get that isn’t surprising.
- mmooss 2y agoI think you're the confused one - I started this subthread by saying Hesgeth's leaks were dangerous, yet somehow you jump into a debate about Serbia - the Wikipedia articles you cited were about Serbia - and argue that same point about Hesgeth as if I disagreed. You also wrote explicitly about Serbia, and implicitly if you look at the context: we were talking about Serbia and you jumped in to talk about takeoff/landing; it's reasonable to read that as addressing the same topic. I didn't know you meant takeoff/landing for the Yemen operations until now.
