Welcome in as we try to scratch the surface on what's transpired with Operation Epic Fury in the last 24-48 hours.

We're going to take a look at an A10 gun run video from Iraq.

Pretty impressive strafing pass, in my opinion.

We have Iranian propaganda.

We have battle damage assessment from Prince Sultan Air Base where our tankers were hit by an Iranian ballistic missile attack.

We put that in our newsletter earlier

this week. We also have more bombers and now ground troops moving to the region as negotiations

are ongoing and they're progressing, not progressing. It just depends on what minute, what day,

and who you're talking to as far as that goes. I think it's just fair to say, and I'm willing to bet

we're not putting a bow on this one and wrapping it up anytime soon.

But with that being said, let's first jump into this A10 gun run in northern Iraq. Now, this is in Missoule from the open source intel page over on X.

And claim is from the 74th or 75th Fighter Squadron. Those are sister squadrons out of Moody Air Force Base

doing this strafing run against IRGC-backed. Shea and Melissa, supposedly the popular mobilization

force, the PMF that is operating inside Iraq. Here's the thing. I don't claim to know all the

different factions or even of a fraction of the faction. I think it just paints a clear

picture of just what a quagmire this is and how, again, it's just not going to be something

easily to put Humpty Dumpty back together again and sing kumbaya and we go on our merry way.

So there's a lot of dynamics here. Again, I'm not claiming that I understand all the dynamics,

but here we have A-10s that are doing straight passes inside Iraq.

Perspective-wise, I do have a 20-millimeter shell and a 30-millimeter shell.

So the 20-millimeter shell here from my F-16 days in this 30-millimeter shell buddy gave me.

I mean, like this guy is like, he's shooting forearms.
