    best news today!

    A $60 million fighter jet has been “lost” at sea at a moment American naval assets under US Central Command have been conducting bombing campaigns against Yemen’s Houthis since March 15.

    But as far as what’s being reported from the Pentagon, the jet wasn’t shot out of the sky during operations – it apparently rolled off an aircraft carrier.

    plop, plop,
    fizz, fizz..

    Fighter Jet Falls Overboard As USS Truman Evaded Inbound Houthi Fire
    A US official said that initial reports from the scene indicated that the Truman made a hard turn to evade Houthi fire, which contributed to the fighter jet falling overboard. The Houthi rebel group claimed on Monday to have launched a drone and missile attack on the aircraft carrier, which is in the Red Sea as part of the US military’s major anti-Houthi operation.

    A naval crew member had been able to jump off the jet at the last minute when the accident occurred as it was being towed out of the hanger bay. One sailor reportedly sustained minor injury.

    Truth is a casualty, somewhere.

    In Iran, the Mehr News Agency reports
    “The US Navy refused to admit that it was the Yemenis’ strikes that destroyed the aircraft.”

    John Day, I believe it’s the B-2 that carries the bunker buster bombs.
