[US KC-135 refueling plane crashes shot down Iraq] Yesterday, an American military KC-135 Stratotanker refueling aircraft manufactured by Boeing crashed into western Iraq at roughly 2pm. This crash in which the cause remains unknown claimed the lives of four of the six American military members. Although the cause of the aerial crash is currently under investigation, many already suspect that for the Americans avoid international embarrassment based upon the Americans currently losing the war to Iran, the downing of the American war plane was caused due to the Pro-Iranian group known as the Iraqi Resistance within western Iraq that executed a successful missile strike resulting in the downing of the aircraft. Backing their position Iranian allies were the claims of admittance on Iranian state tv.

Officially, the number of American military members killed since the start of the Israeli-American war against Iran stands at 11, detractors of the Pentagon and the Trump administration believe that the body count of dead American military member are much higher given the amount of damage, devastation, number of missiles launched by Iran, combined with the number of American military bases and assets destroyed in the region by Iranian counter-strike measures. American Secretary of War Pete Hegseth stated during his Press Briefing today that:

“Two aircraft were involved in the incident. One of the aircraft went down in western Iraq, and the second landed safely. This was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.”

The question many are asking is it possible that the Boeing manufactured KC-135 being made in the 1950s and 1960s outlived its service life? And if so, wouldn't the American military be knowledgeable about that fact? If that’s the case, then the American military could be held liable for the deaths of four of it’s own servicemen. But let's say that wasn't the case at all. Let's take the perspective that since the KC-135 was manufactured in the 1950’s and 1960’s wouldn't the now 70-year-old aircraft be hyper-susceptible to being shot down by modern day missiles? Just something to think about.
