Yes, if you fly aircraft over someone else's country, they may shoot it down.

Did they actually buy them, or is this one more of those "here, you get it for free" deals like Biden's 14 Billion grant during the first few months of the Gaza war? (And no further off topic digressions).
The THAAD radar got hit: yes, if the enemy shoots back, sometimes they hit what they aim at. Iran knows how important it is to take down an integrated air defense system, just like everyone else knows...
From IndiaToday website:
What if one of the most powerful warships on Earth… was forced to retreat?
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims it launched missiles and drones at the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Sea of Oman — and says the carrier fled the area at high speed.
But the U.S. military says none of it ever happened.So… what’s the truth?
Today we’re breaking down a dramatic claim coming out of Iran — one that has sparked intense debate online and raised questions about what’s really happening in the Middle East.
Did Iran really strike a U.S. aircraft carrier?
Or is this part of a growing information war between two rivals?
1. Having been involved in cyclic ops some years ago, the Lincoln repositioning at this point in the ops would not surprise me. The USAF and the Israelis can keep pressure on the IRGC; Lincoln isn't the only asset in the region.
2. The War of Words will continue, of course.
3. Odds that Chinese and Russians are providing locating data when they can: high.
For AR1: that got a laugh out of me.
