Houthis will count this as a downed aircraft
More like a drowned aircraft, amirite?
The number of combat defeats of the F-18 is somewhere in the single digits, so you gotta take what you can get.
As opposed to them intentionally dumping them in the ocean so they don’t lose their budget.
Maybe a wave hit it.
Yet I had some moron IRL argue with me about rumors of a FEMA center blowing $200k on training, therefore it should be closed. They never bring up defense though.

Yeah, accidents happens sometimes. This isn’t really worth worrying about.
That’s amazingly cheap for a fighter aircraft.
Old fa18, they were cheap back then and it’s not stealth or anything.
Highway to the fumblezone!
How exactly is this “not the onion”? Stuff like this happens. No idea why this would be seen as satirical in any way.
btw at the current military budget of ~850 billion USD for 2025 they could afford to lose one of them every 42 minutes for the entire year
