Of course, he wouldn't of mentioned it otherwise.

I was talking about the soldiers in the video.

I think the plane briefly seen in the vid is not a tornado. Looks more like a F16 Falcon.

I know you were talking about the soldiers in the video. The ones who are not supposed to fight.

I was talking about the tornado pilots who helped us out that day. Two different things!

These are the same pilots who didn't carry any ordinance because their recce aircraft ddn't have the equipment to do so. Or have I missed something

Yeah, you missed something.

So what were the 6 unarmed recce Tornados dropping?

[Crumpp]

Who said 6? A flight of two dropped 4 bombs and made gun runs on the ridgeline until their ammo was expended.

Are you like really surprised that the public gets fed baloney?

Other than "something happenend" almost none of this is correct.

Germany contributed 6 recce tornadoes from 2007...there you have it 6, the choice to send recce tornados was a concious decision in order to calm the German public against the idea of reprisal terrorist acts in Germany if they were dropping bombs.
