@OSINTWarfare Meh. Not really. It's still highly plausible that other armed aircraft unloaded on those; a supporting AC-130 is explanatory.
Do you know what would really explain it all? A trustworthy government. That'd be cool.

The imagery largely debunks the “got stuck” narrative. It’s far more likely that Iranian forces damaged or destroyed the aircraft, preventing them from taking off. There were also reports of injuries in U.S. media, which could help explain the overall situation.

@Trumpertarian @grok You propose that AI shouldn't be permitted to assist the prompter in breaking a law because it's within the scope of the technology to prevent a crime. I'll leave it at that.
Now get back in the kitchen or, household cleanliness permitting, you may watch a lil TV. 😘

@bombtech25 @grok No darling its not the same otherwise they wouldn't have taken it down to fix its programming.
Do you understand AI at all?

Hey @grok is it true you were showing AI underage porn and Elon is being legally challenged overseas because of your actions?

@bombtech25 @grok No because a typewriter is not 'intelligent" and cant create child porn out of thin air.

@Trumpertarian @grok This is like accusing a typewriter of authoring a bad book.

I'd talk to your fencing guy about getting it painted. Someone in their community probably has a tractor mounted paint sprayer for fencing. Painting it with a brush or roller is brutal work because those boards are "thirsty." You'll dip your brush and only go 6in before the board pulls all the paint out of your brush. When they come to quote you, let them know it's newly installed. They'll assess the wood for moisture and paint adhesion. Lighter colors can make it pop and look so crisp and clean when fresh but they do show dirt, pollen, chips, etc much easier long term.

@LAIF2234 @joshpuckett Thanks. The fencing they've done for us in the past has held like a rock...
I don't think I can do both a standalone primer and the barn & fence paint...I'll let it sit a bit and we'll see what happens.

@HealthRanger 🙈 Bruh, they're fire damaged. There are different directions of "bend" dependant on gravity.

Debatable. Some of those holes can likely be attributed to high speed fragments but there cause is unknown. There's the very good chance that demolition charges were placed on certain systems of the aircraft. Did the other armed aircraft unload on the abandoned aircraft? Another possibility. Also, some of those holes are caused by the skin of the aircraft melting. A small hole can become a large hole as heat is focused through the original hole; imagine a fuel filled compartment burning out through a small fragmentation hole. You really need to get up close to confidently say much about cause.
It's possible air defenses and small arms fire caused the aircraft to be abandoned and destroyed but no where near 100%, IMHO.

U.S. rescue teams were ambushed, suffering losses worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but according to the U.S., they managed to accomplish the mission.
According to official information, the second American pilot managed to hide for more than 24 hours and was rescued in an operation where, as I have reported in recent days, Iran lets them in, but getting out is the real problem.
It appears that American forces tried to use an old agricultural airstrip in the region, but Iran had already prepared a large-scale ambush.
At least two variants of the C-130, possibly MC-130J, were lost, along with one or more AH-6/MH-6 Little Bird helicopters. There are also reports of two Black Hawks being hit, but which managed to leave the area safely.
Contrary to the official version that the units were destroyed on the ground, the images clearly show damage caused by air defenses on the aircraft wreckage, and this may cast doubt on any other official version of the event, including potentially much larger losses.
The two MC-130J Commando II each cost between US$ 114-165 million, but with special SOF configurations they easily reach US$ 130-165 million per unit, which puts the damage between US$ 260-330 million.
The MH-6 Little Bird costs about US$ 2-4 million in the basic version and US$ 7.5 million in the more equipped variants like the ones used in missions such as this one in Iran.
This is the minimum estimate of the damages, but the losses may be higher when all the assets are accounted for.
In the last 72 hours, the damage tally also includes 1 F-15, 1 A-10, 2 MQ-9 drones also shot down, and damage to anther A-10, two Black Hawks, plus one CH-47F destroyed on the ground in Kuwait, bringing the total damage close to half a billion dollars in just the last 3 days.
If the information on casualties released so far is correct, despite the losses, the rescue operation was a success when viewed in isolation.
However, it calls into question everything that has been said by the U.S. so far about Iranian air defenses and reinforces what we have been saying about the gradual deployment of these systems, which, according to my own estimates, Iran still has hundreds of.
In addition, this latest event shows what I had already said: Iran is a master of ambushes, with a highly consolidated asymmetric doctrine developed across multiple conflicts that include wars in Yemen, Syria, and through various proxies.
Iranian ambush capability comes out strengthened, and if the pilot rescue really occurred, the American special forces come out of this operation looking very good.

@Villgecrazylady @JeninYounesEsq That Savvi account is 100% fake. Scroll all the way down her "Posts" tab. Then do the same for "Media". Her followers are bots, follow back accounts, or long dead accounts too. It feels like a TPUSA troll account.

I was a paralegal for a criminal defense attorney for several years. Sat at the counsel table for 3 jury trials, including an attempted murder case. I’ve gone through hundreds of discovery packets. I’ve helped catalog discovery on 2 separate murder cases. I know exactly what I’m talking about.
12 terabytes worth of “discovery” is so obscene the Utah County prosecutors office should be placed in contempt for this blatant mockery of the justice system.

🇺🇸 Val Kilmer reload from heat is used as a benchmark in the marines!
Kilmer was reported saying that the Marines had picked up on the sequence and started using it in training.
“I heard something really flattering. There’s a shot where I run out of bullets, I change a mag, and I go back to firing.
“I think it’s the Marines, they show the clip and say ‘Tell those maggots if you can’t change a clip as fast as this actor then get out of my army’. How cool is that?"

BREAKING | The Church in Jerusalem Confirms: No Closure of Churches or Suspension of Prayers -- Circulating Rumors Are False
The Holy Land | March 18, 2026
Following the spread of inaccurate reports on social media claiming that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem has been closed indefinitely, church authorities have issued an official clarification stating that these claims are false. They urged the public to verify information carefully and not be misled by rumors.
The statement noted that the region has faced similar circumstances in the past—during periods of unrest, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other crises—yet prayers were never fully suspended, nor were churches permanently closed. Instead, liturgical life continued within approved frameworks.
The church is closed to visitors, while prayers continue inside as usual, conducted by the clergy and monks according to their respective rites.
It emphasized that in times of war or heightened security tension, priority is given to following the instructions of official authorities.
The statement added that if the current situation persists, temporary measures may be introduced, such as limiting attendance at services or strengthening security arrangements. However, this does not mean a ban on prayers or the suspension of religious rites, which will continue in accordance with applicable regulations.
According to Alhusseini Joudeh Adeeb, Custodian of the Keys of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Seal Holder of the Holy Tomb in Jerusalem: “Regarding the closure of holy sites in Jerusalem, particularly the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Al-Aqsa Mosque, this is not an isolated or minor decision, but rather part of a general state of emergency imposed due to the serious security developments in the region, amid the ongoing war between Israel and Iran.
These measures, as difficult as they may be, are taken to protect lives and ensure public safety. They must be understood within the complex and dangerous reality facing the region. Compliance with these instructions is not a political stance, but a necessary response to exceptional circumstances affecting everyone.”
The Church in Jerusalem reaffirmed its commitment to its spiritual mission and pastoral care under all conditions, calling on the faithful to remain calm, trust official guidance, and uphold the spirit of prayer and peace during this sensitive time.
