The amount of denying makes me think it was attacked. They lied about casualties multiple times at this point so it wouldn't surprise me if it comes out later this was a lie too.
Or hegseth demanded the pilot send him dick pics while flying and caused the crash.
I hate how this is an actual real possibility in this timeline.
Some AI YouTuber in 2040 long after humanity ceased to exist: it was shot down.
I don't doubt it was actually an accident. Military aircraft have accidents/crashes plenty during peacetime. It happens every year.
Aircraft require at least dozens of hours of maintenance per hour of flight, and tons of safety checks and procedures. But during periods of increased military activity, the mistakes compound faster in a shorter amount of time, and accidents are bound to become more frequent.
Yeah no way 2 of the same type of aircrafts had the same accident at the same time.
I don't know what you're talking about. Are you referring to the other KC-135 mentioned in the article?
Yes. "unspecified incident involving two aircraft" was the cause for one of them crashing, while another one managed to do unscheduled landing. In aviation where margins for errors are almost non existent, there isn't a world where the same accident can occur in 2 planes at the same time.
Lol, unless the accident was one bumping into the other.
