  Sorry I was being facetious. They are all getting shot down, but it makes the American military look inept so they’re saying “crashed” and other similar things rather than “shot down”.

    I dunno, a crash without getting attacked sounds even more inept to me.

      Same ineptness, but it makes the Iranians more dangerous and the US less invincible.
