Apparently their U.S.-supplied air defences work much better than the ones from Russia and China.

from the F-15E Strike Eagles and were in stable condition after being recovered, the U.S. said. ..

I heard the vice president is going to save the country billions or possibly 100's of billions by solving fraud. Don't worry there's plenty of money.

The operation is supposedly costing the US from $40M-150M per day. A couple of jets one way or the other are just pocket fuzzies compared to what they are and will be spending on this operation.

I'm a little surprised all the pilots survived.

Thankfully.
As well, each pilot represents a fortune in training, as well as their humanity. It’s all a terrific weight to carry.

And to hope they’re never put in action.

The ground training is important, hopefully, to avoid friendly fire.
It’s a tremendous burden i couldn’t imagine.
