1631: Pulling a Johnson

B-1 Bomber Operations, Tower 22 Drone Attack, IFF Transponders

The U.S. deployment of B-1 bombers from the mainland to the Middle East is criticized for its high operational cost of $173,000 per hour. Questions are raised regarding the official account of the Tower 22 attack, specifically how an Iranian drone could be mistaken for a returning U.S. drone. The hosts express skepticism about the failure of Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) transponder systems during the incident.
