The SF C-295 seen low flying in X videos yesterday managed to recover 2 of the MH-6M that would fit - that's why only 2 of 4 had to be destroyed.
76 aircraft involved - started with 4 x B-1B dropping 96 x GBU-31 to keep heads down!
16 x A-10s on task + another 14 on ground alert.
40 x 1000-lb bombs from B-1Bs used to destroy the stranded aircraft.
