Oddbean new post about login | logout #war #news Twitter claim that russia detected four Israeli F-35s approaching Persian Gulf. US Navy E-2D Advanced Hawkeye South of Oman turned off it's transponder. Reports a second one in Iraq also turned off it's transponder. This might be Israel striking Iran.
The middle claim I saw on FlightRadar24, I can vouch for that claim. The first and last are rumor.
You can't vouch for fuck all, you're not an operative.
I'm just verifying that I saw the blip on flightradar and then flightradar couldn't find the blip anymore. I don't know if they turned off their transponder, crashed, landed on an aircraft carrier, etc.. I'm just reporting on the news.
*Twitter🙄. FFS.
Could have been this: "IDF F-35 stealth fighter jets of the Israeli Air Force conducted an airstrike against headquarters of the IRGC backed Hashd Al-Shaabi militias in Kalso garrison, Iraq, two hours ago"
