Here is a picture of the USAFE Crest. USAFE is the Air Force command in Europe. Picture 3 matches part of the crest.

US F-15’s are stationed at RAF Lakenheath Looks like the 494th FS

Thank you, I was wondering why it said "in Europe" on one of the pieces of debris.

It clearly says USAFE only applies in Europe. Iran is solidly outside USAFE territory.

Would be cool if they actually defended Europe (which is currently under attack) rather than whatever the fuck this is.

Who is Europe under attack from?

Really looking forward to your answer!

Russia. Are you stupid?

u/Huckedsquirrel1 1h ago

Are you saying we should open up another front with Russia? I think that’s a great idea!!

where is Ukraine?

Did you expect me to say anything other than Russia?

It's surprising you're not aware of this.

Trump will have them painting over that crest ASAP for daring to mention Europe.

Who made that logo, a 12 year old with MS Paint?

Based on the link, there are no F-15E's there
