very unlikely as Taliban need to get too close to hit B-52 . But if true Taliban will face serious consequences.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

So day has come that stone age people with swords & stones claiming to shot down F35. Taliban just want to scare people even with trolling.

Highly unlikely. as it would not serve their purpose of getting rid of us forces.

Dont you think that facing consequences has passed its due date. Today US in more of a hurry to get out than Taliban wanting US to get out. So if the news is true, it will be downplayed by the US and business will go on as usual.

If indeed this is the real picture of the claimed aircraft then Taliban's are claiming falsely.

This picture seems that the aircraft crashed due to multiple engine failures or excessive loading.

It must have fallen on its own. This is very unlikeky. Also why does usa use stratofortess in Afghanistan even now? War is pretty much over.

consequences for both Taliban and innocent t Afghani people who will face carpet bombing .

Dont you think that facing consequences has passed its due date. Today US in more of a hurry to get out than Taliban wanting US to get out. So if the news is true, it will be downplayed by the US and business will go on as usual.
