Original Note:
NNN. Post never said those were bombs, not flares. It was showing a jet post bombing deploying flares as it left the AO to protect against potential counterattack during the initial climb after bombing as is SOP. Bombs were dropped at that time so the tweet is factual. https://x.com/anesmansory/status/1795450403737280665 https://www.142wg.ang.af.mil/Portals/38/documents/EIS/EA_for_Deployment_of_Chaff_and_Flares_in_Military_Training_Airspace_(Phase_1)r.pdf?ver=ChSWZX6jjRu-KMUIWH_ang%3D%3D
