Original Note:
This image does not depict a crashed F-16 fighter jet, but instead shows a downed MQ-9 Reaper drone in Yemen. This distinction can be clearly identified by the presence of the drone's propeller, which is visible in the photo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-16_Fighting_Falcon https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104505/f-16-fighting-falcon/ https://www.af.mil/About-Us/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/104470/mq-9-reaper/ https://www.islamtimes.com/en/news/1152001/yemeni-army-downs-yet-another-us-mq9-drone
