I did a lot of fruitless Googling after news broke in an effort to discover just what Ethiopian aircraft had participated, and has DT come through again. I'd love to see more detailed coverage.

It's much, much easier to drive far and fast if you know exactly how the opposing force is deployed, and don't have to worry about being surprised or outflanked.

Sure, maybe some of the trainers stuck around, but mostly it's Ethiopians.
