The U.S. aircraft was conducting an exercise in the eastern Mediterranean and crashed and went down, the Pentagon unit said.
The command did not disclose information about the aircraft, crew members or casualties. It is specified that the incident is not associated with any hostile actions.
However...
Earlier it became known that the Yemeni Houthi rebels with the help of air defense (air defense) shot down the American drone MQ9. And the Pentagon was quiet about it at first. But... The Pentagon later acknowledged this.
The Pentagon's secrecy, unjustified by real reasons, raises additional questions.

 

What additional questions?

Like taking the necessary steps to determine exactly what happened?

 

It was a 3/160th SOAR (night stalker) UH 60 with five on board. No survivors are reported.

 

With large portions of military aviators being injected with clot shots, I wonder if the accident might have been caused by pilot incapacitation as happened so many other times in the last 3 years?

 

Anything can happen. And your theory is quite reasonable.

 

Just common sense reasoning, but the military commonly loses aircraft and crew to training exercises, even before the shots.

 

Refueling at night can be quite dangerous.

 

I remember reading back in the 1990s that U.S. military aircraft crashed at an average rate of SEVEN times that of comparable civilian aircraft.
