As for how the airmen could be doing, retired Brigadier General Mark Kimmett was also on the program and says they get plenty of training for this exact scenario.

combat plane also crashed in the Persian Gulf that day.

Meantime, French President Emmanuel Macron is now calling on medium-sized powers to join forces.
