“We already know that the U.S. military can do complex tactical operations, and they’re amazing at it,” Rosemary Kelanic, an expert with Defense Priorities, told the Washington Examiner. “But the thing that we’ve learned is that Iran is actually able to take our planes out of the sky, and that’s a really disturbing fact.”
Kelanic said: “That raises all kinds of questions about, is Iran getting better at targeting U.S. planes? Is Iran’s command and control actually better than most people have suggested throughout this conflict? Is Iran getting targeting help from China and Russia? What’s going on here that has allowed them to improve their ability to hit us just suddenly over the weekend? And it’s not clear whether it’s something Iran has been doing, or whether it’s something that the U.S. has been doing, or a combination of both.”
