That's how SOFREP Website described the recent flair up.
I'm still searching but if my Marine History is correct we haven't lost this many aircraft due to ground action since Vietnam.
It might stretch back even further...and we can consider these numbers scrubbed...I would bet that in the end we'll see the number of aircraft destroyed/written off to be many more than the 6 Harriers destroyed and 2 Harriers damaged that one of my readers informed me of.
If my instincts are correct then it'll be a much higher count. We'll see but this is very bad news. The only saving grace is that it wasn't much worse.
