AdrianHOST
It's so bizarre.
AdrianHOST
And the sheer volume of these reports compelled the commanding officer of the U.S. Air Force squadrons in the area, General Nathan F. Twining, along with Italian Air Force General Bernardo Rossini, to personally investigate.
ClaraHOST
Because you can't just ignore a whole squadron saying a flying monk stopped them.
ClaraHOST
So they took a command squadron up to see what was causing all this hysteria.
Malcolm NanceHOST
which is in the northwest part of the country, has an air base there, the King Khalid Air Base.
Malcolm NanceHOST
Apparently, the Houthis know where it is too, bombarded the base and destroyed an Italian Air Force Eurofighter that was providing combat air patrol services for the Saudi Arabians.
Malcolm NanceHOST
So, another one on the board for the Houthis.
Malcolm NanceHOST
This deal of the F-35 fighter Of all the stupidest times to announce something as dumb as this.

[pensive music] Overnight, for the first time in Lithuanian airspace, fighter jets shoot down a potentially armed drone, as seen in this video.
Stephanie SyCORRESPONDENT
The alliance tracked the drone for roughly 30 minutes, not far from residential areas, before the Italian Air Force destroyed it over this field.
Stephanie SyCORRESPONDENT
Lithuania says there is still much to investigate.

It is not yet clear whether this was a drone that had been diverted and lost its way, as has often happened in our recent history, or whether it was a deliberate provocation.

GerdesHOST
I'll show you that in just a moment.
GerdesHOST
Where the military police have sealed the site, Italian Air Force, uh, Typhoons flying o- NATO's Baltic air policing mission destroyed it with missile armament.
GerdesHOST
The drone was over Lithuanian territory for about half an hour, and the crisis center says that there's a high probability it carried an explosive charge, though its type and operator have not been established, or at least not yet.
GerdesHOST
Uh, this happened, the Lithuanian, uh, military has shown the crash site of the drone in Kaišadorys District.
Mohamed Al-BashaGUEST
So will the Turks and the Pakistanis, will the Brits fill in the gap that the Americans would leave? You already see on the ground air defense units from Cyprus, from Greece.
Mohamed Al-BashaGUEST
You're seeing... busy movement and active movement of the Italian Air Force, the Kuwaiti Air Force, C-17s and the Qataris.
Mohamed Al-BashaGUEST
C-70s are doing the heavy lift for the Saudis.
Mohamed Al-BashaGUEST
So there is an architecture of movement right now that signals to me that something is happening.

Tim McDonaldHOST
And the Italian Air Force there, what's left of them, spraying smoke all over the...
Tim McDonaldHOST
If there's one race that doesn't need additional smoke, it would be the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, I would have thought.
Luke RoccaHOST
I was pretty disappointed with the anthem.
Al MurrayHOST
Yeah.
James HollandHOST
And it's incredibly effective, and the, and the Luftwaffe and the Regia Aeronautica, which is the Italian Air Force, aren't as strong as the RAF here.
James HollandHOST
This, this is a absolute deciding factor, very much to the good of, of Eighth Army.
