Israel and Iran

[Crusader74]

I've seen footage of a C-295W that the Air Force is allegedly using. We've been using that platform for years. Good to see the biggest Air Force in the world using them as I think it gives some credence to their value.

This may be an OPSEC violation, but sometimes we need to know the real story and this one is simply too important not to share:

Seems legit

The Drop-Site tweet in question is a follow-up from them quoting Jack Murphy saying the WSO was rescued. Maybe it's just the way I'm interpreting it, but with that context the tweet seems to be more showing that the Iranians are verifying the bombings were happening, not that they "caught the pilot".

That's not the part people are upset about. This is:

This will be far better than the other alleged story of we tried to raid a nuclear facility and got ambushed and had to retreat and covered it up saying it was a rescue mission

Right, I understand why people are upset. I'm saying that, in context, it reads that Kent is retweeting it because state media is confirming the bombings around the area are real, not because he thinks we were trying to kill the pilot.

ETA: I think a lot of people (generally) don't understand that reporting on what other countries say is not "spreading propaganda" in and of itself. This one was just reporting; stories claiming We have almost 1000 casualties and dozens of KIA started from propaganda.
