Drone or B-52 Downed by Taliban?

It's a Question of who do you believe the most at this stage? Clearly, for the most of us being fed '100% Bull***t" on the Brexit process, I am highly sceptical! This news is reported on several sensational event sites, you decide. ;)

Currently no B-52s deployed to the region, can rule that one out.

My view too. A Reaper with engine failure doesn't quite give the same Bragging Rights down the Pub, does it? (sic) :roll:

"Page claims that Taliban are confusing an unarmed drone with B-52."

that's like confusing a goldfish w/ a dolphin.

With all that dust over there, eyesight suffers. Unfortunately the only Branch of Spec-savers in Downtown Kabul was blown-up by a car-bomb, the driver allegedly thought he was outside the US Embassy! :Oops: :whistle:

Maybe they've had a touch to much of the Opium Pipe down at the Taliban Love-Shack.
