It is all a word game. “Malfunction “
“had to destroy two of their own air craft “ There are a lot of very expensive air craft that keep malfunctioning. Translation = they were shot down.
This had to be the most expensive PR save facing / rescue operation in history. The loss of almost $500 million dollars in aircrafts.
How can they all be "shot down" to this degree of absolute disintegration and somehow fall in the same place?
I maintain that this is the scene of deliberate torching of assets. They may have be lightly damaged by small arms and/or unable to take off for a variety of reasons.
It is actually very routine practice to bomb one's own assets if they are behind enemy lines and no longer operable. It's done with ships too.
