Four of six U.S. crew members have been confirmed dead after their military refueling plane crashed in Iraq on Thursday while taking part in Iran war operations, the U.S. military has said.

Central Command said in a post on X early Friday that the KC-135 plane went down at approximately 2 p.m. ET in western Iraq, with four crew members confirmed dead. The statement didn't note the status of the other two crew members but said that "rescue efforts continue."

"The circumstances of the incident are under investigation. However, the loss of the aircraft was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire," CENTCOM said.

It said earlier that two aircraft were involved in the incident and that one landed safely.

As is standard protocol in military deaths, the identities of those killed are being withheld until 24 hours after their families have been informed.

I like the fact the Iraqis resistance forces are using this period to send away the imperialists from their land.

This is war, soldiers die....

And I trust their nation to honor them, compared to one nation of particular concern that would deny their own soldiers undecided

Anyway, it's the context of this message that matters grin

CENTCOM said the loss of the aircraft was not due to friendly fire or hostile fire but the latter is the truth. The Plane was brought down by a P358 Surface to air missile in Iraq. The downed plane is a Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker with Reg: 63-8017 and Serial number 18634. The plane left to the Middle East from the US base Mildenhall Air Force Base in Suffolk, UK.

There are chances that crew members began burning with the plane shortly after it was hit, before the plane finally crashed. They all died, none of them survived. Another refuelling tanker plane was apparently targeted but managed to land in Israel.

US said "Loss of aircraft was not due to friendly fire or hostile fire" - That's a lie, it was shot down
US said "4 out of 6 crew members died" - That's a lie too, they're all dead.

May God console their breaved families and the bereaved families of those they too murdered.

He who lives by the sword die by the sword.

They are the ones who obeyed Trump's order to kill 168 innocent Iranian primary school girls of ages 7 to 12 years old.

Some Nigerians championing war. Settle your home first.
You can't always dominate your fellow man. And when did he become an angel that wipe evil off the earth for God.
Terrorist are in every nation of the world.
As for nuclear weapon, every western nation has it. And let me ask for which purpose?
For war...
For peace...
It is like you are saying in Nigeria the only weapon for fight should be knife..
While many will have gun, Cutlass etc. For protection.
Even the radical shooting in western world is terrorism.
God has not made any man judge after anyone.
For everything we do. We should always count he consequences.
I didn't support Iran. But they are human like us. Respect for every leader is expected of a reasonable fellow.

And so continues Trump and SatanYahooYahoo war costing American lives and assets.

But soon Trump will bail from this adventure of his.

Hopefully next time he will listen to American experts and intelligence agencies rather than someone needing assistance to fight those he dies not like..

F-18 aircraft crashes - cause: accidental incident!

3 F-15 aircraft crashes - cause: friendly fire!

KC-135 aircraft crashes - cause: mid-air collision!

8 MQ-9 crashes - cause: technical malfunction!

An aircraft carrier catches fire - cause: electrical short circuit!

An NYPD officer in the prime of his health who was deployed to Kuwait dies - Cause: medical episode.

Hahaha!

Pathetic!
