I was wondering WTF plane was there when they were claiming it was an Afghani national carrier 737 and the carrier was going “We’ve accounted for all of our birds.”

There is nothing to suggest it was shot down.

It's mentioned here.

Why would you look elsewhere for 12-24 hours?

Don't you have other things to worry about? Like trying to not catch the coronavirus?

KABUL — A U.S. military aircraft crashed in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, a Taliban spokesman and Afghan journalist affiliated with the militant group said.

Tariq Ghazniwal, a journalist in the area, said that he saw the burning aircraft. In an exchange on Twitter, he told The Associated Press that he saw two bodies and the front of the aircraft was badly burned. He added that aircraft's body and tail were hardly damaged. His information could not be independently verified.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said a U.S. Air Force plane crashed in the Ghazni province. He claimed the crash killed “lots" of U.S. service members. The militant group often exaggerates casualty figures.

Ghazniwal said the crash site was about 10 kilometers from a U.S. military base.



Thank you.

10 miles from base? - doesn't sound like a missile strike to me.

Lol @ the armchair generals in here that want the military out of the Middle East.

People think we're there just to be nice guys and don't understand the strategic value.

The mighty SR-71 and U-2 had those logos.
