Application of Stable Approach Criteria is equally important whether the context is military or commercial. The purpose is to create barriers to runway excursion with associated aircraft damage, hull loss, injury or fatalities. All of which represent a significant loss of military capability.
In the approach and landing phases, there is absolutely no requirement for this type of aircraft to be operated differently than the airliner equivalent. On this occasion, the crew got away with it; on another day they won’t.
The proper outcome was a go-around. I can only imagine that those who think otherwise have not operated similar types of aircraft, either in the military or in an airline.
