I’m not an AF vet so I don’t have an idea, but what’s the over-under that the US injuries were the crew trying to get the plane ready to fly after the alert came in? I think the number of injuries lines up closely with expected crew compliment.

#12It's frustrating that we're constantly being lied to about what's actually happening.
$300,0000,000 phased array radar stations getting knocked out of commission by a $50,000 drone traveling at 140 MPH which a $20,000,000 SM-3 can't intercept.
Weeks of 8,000 airstrikes leading to "complete annihilation" but now we need more weeks to finish the job with energy prices skyrocketing.
Asymmetric warfare is a bitch.

Was hit on the taxiway. See story update: https://www.twz.com/air/images-purportedly-show-e-3-sentry-t...
Towards the bottom they list some satellite imagery and a statement indicating they are possibly using the taxiways as parking.
Still leaves open the question of who might have been injured and where, but at least answers how the Iranians could have possibly hit a taxiing plane — they didn’t.
