Thread: USNS BIG HORN REPLENISHMENT OILER IN THE PERSIAN GULF

USNS BIG HORN LEAVING BAHRAINI WATERS HEADING NORTH AT 12 TO 13 KNOTS


ABOUT 20 NM AWAY FROM INT'L WATERS

:soon2:

Strange, just saw a group of soldiers walking through my backyard. Fully armed. Not US military, something else.

Odd.

They want them to know.

My doom donger is starting to get a slight raise and tingle.

LOL Adytum
Maybe it’s due to this thread
I mean Twitter down

Not unusual

“The missions are reconnaissance-based,” Patterson says. “If you think about the hot spots on the globe—right now we’re focusing on big players like China, and Russia, Iran, North Korea—there’s probably a U-2 flying somewhere in those areas right now, taking a look at what’s going on.”

The plane flies in international airspace, as opposed to directly over a country that’s a surveillance target. The idea is that the sensors can see so far—for example, a large radar unit in the nose is capable of peering some 300 miles in one direction from an altitude of 70,000, Patterson says—meaning that being “parked off someone’s coast” still enables a nice view inland.

Now no one in Iran can tweet if they are being bombed..

Oh look, the Devils Nation, the USA trying to provoke another war.

Neither can we.

You do realize it's not parked off the coast, correct?

Briefly saw twitter link active here.
Refresh is now returning a twitter error, or loads with "page does not exist".

Went dam quick

I REPEAT
TWITTER IS DOWN FOR A REASON.
HERE IT COMES FOLKS

You broke the Interwebs Adytum

For real? Whereabouts? Thats seriously concerning if you think about it......

It's a U2 spy plane... and why they'd broadcast it's whereabouts is beyond me, unless they want Iran to know it's up there.

The don't do that. Its just not done. Not for that plane. Ever.

Just the US spoofing systems to psych out the Iranians.

The don't do that. Its just not done. Not for that plane. Ever.

If that particular plane's showing up on a flight tracking site, there's no other explanation.

This is what the Twitter link was showing before it went down.

I wouldn't worry about it...

twitter and google earth both down, I think the usa under attack

Is it possible the tweet itself broadcasting its whereabouts could be faked?

Could it be spoofing its whereabouts to provoke Iran?

Most likely!

But it is a little hard to tell at this point in our dispute with Iran, after all these years...
