@BLackgold_5 Looks like weird wind conditions caught the pilots out and they used more runway than they should trying to get firmly on the ground. Rather than try to get stopped short, they elected to go around again. Probably not fun, but also not unusual.
@MikaRiikonen2@ka_grieco JDAMs, GPS-guided gravity munitions. JDAMs go up to 2000lb, but JASSM warheads are 1000lbs.
Sometimes weapon choice is just what they have available to them, and it's entirely possible that JASSM are being used simply because USAF doesn't want to use something else.
@schmanda@peakybunnet@Robert_E_Kelly Yep. He probably heard an assessment of "We can do it, but..." and didn't pay attention to anything after that, as per usual.
@BocaDuk3@SGTWipper1Each I was thinking that was a really nose-high attitude coming off the catapult. I wonder if that's from the EMALS giving extra oomph or if it's just the F-35 having excess power (and probably running light) to muscle itself up there? Or maybe just camera aspect playing tricks.
@AlanBalutis@AliceFromQueens OTOH, the General Assembly has been pumping in tons of "let's see what we can get" legislation on the premise that she's going to rubber-stamp signatures across everything.
It'll take her signing or vetoing to prove where her heart lies. That's where the panic is.
@brooklynp8triot@harryjsisson Nah. Video shows him leaning over to the left to get an angle on the victim through the windshield with the first round. And then the next two are after she's in motion and passing him.
@sjredmond@thatsKAIZEN Second and third shots are as she's passing. I'm almost positive that he shot her in the side of the head with his second, and if she'd been on foot, his third shot would have been into her back. There's no justification.
@Spartan04148034@psyop_sentry@YourAnonCentral Not true and you know it. Shot 1 is fired offset to the windshield but it's a direct line to the driver. Then the agent *fires two more rounds* as the car is passing. Shot 2 (likely the lethal hit) is through the open driver window, shot 3 is after she's passed.
@Dmoore98408@psyop_sentry@YourAnonCentral Yep. I see him. He's got his pistol out and discharges into the windshield as she drives past his feet, visible alongside her front left wheel, 11-12sec into the video. He then watches her roll away and holsters his weapon.
@CMattc541598201@YourAnonCentral Nope. He fired after moving to the left of her left fender. You can see his feet beside the front wheel as the shot discharges.
