The crash took place in the same AFB (SW Of Tehran) where I got my BMT (Basic Military Trainings)

128 dead!

And the fame of that building still looks completely solid saveing many lives. Congrats to iranian construction.

I've lived in different AFBs in iran built by Americans in 1970s.

Good and large buildings!

the whole building was burning, it was very sad. It is said that 128 are dead.
RIP

Is it wrong that I feel good about this knowing it was Iranian soldiers? Because really, I do.

My first thought was that they were conducting a live fire exercise of that new ASM system they purchased from Putin Inc.

Putin Inc. I like it and seeing how the iranisns act sometimes, it might not be too far out there.
