ISIS Video: America’s Air Dropped Weapons Now in Our Hands -- Josh Rogin, Daily Beast
In a new video, ISIS shows American-made weapons it says were intended for the Kurds but actually were air dropped into territory they control.

My Comment: Ooops ....
Bound to happen... Thing is, how many times has this happened already?

It is an absurdly small target to hit with an air drop considering that ISIS could have some fairly deadly air defense.
The main thing is that we are supplying the Kurds, giving them a fighting chance, improving their odds of survival and putting ISIS through a meat grinder.
Everything does not break your way in war, not even the wind.
Non-story except for people that want to get their pan ties in a bunch in the media.,
If the Wehrmacht had retrieved air drop supplies meant for the defenders of Bastogne, then the USAF should have stopped dropping supplies right?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why that box of old pineapple grenades was included?
ReplyDeleteExactly, looks like a B.S. non-story. Was this confirmed by DoD?
ReplyDeleteIf the enemy gives me a pallet fool of weapons .... I would think it would be booby-trapped
