More of an indictment of the UK system of justice (which immediately released them all on bail) their utter lack off immigration controls (literally anyone walks in the door) despite their rigorous state surveillance systems.

One working theory is that the Iranians smuggled in enough drones to carry out an attack similar to what the Ukrainians pulled on the Russians, blowing up their bomber fleet on the ground. We don't have the production capability to make B-1s any longer, so those 12 planes are extremely valuable.

Fun fact. B-1s have delivered more ordinance over Iran than any other, like 70% or more.

And yeah - this board generally believes in the Invincibility Theory Of Iran. What's more puzzling is how many here are okay with it.
