US Fighter Jets READY to CRUSH ISIS In Syria

About this video

Max analyzes a December 13, 2025 incident in Palmyra, Syria where two U.S. soldiers from the Iowa National Guard and one civilian interpreter were killed by a low-ranking Syrian Internal Security Forces member with alleged ISIS ties. Max reports that F-16s and A-10s are conducting shows of force over Syria in response, and he explains the geography, operational challenges, and likely basing locations (Turkey or Jordan) for these aircraft. Max argues throughout the video that the A-10 should remain in service because he believes it is ideal for close air support, drone hunting, and situations like this.

Key takeaways

• Max reports that on December 13, 2025, two U.S. soldiers and one civilian interpreter were killed in an insider attack by a Syrian security forces member with alleged ISIS ties, prompting F-16 and A-10 shows of force over Palmyra.
• Max argues the A-10 should not be retired because he believes it excels at close air support, has long loiter time, and when paired with F-16s forms a powerful combination for protecting troops on the ground.
• Max explains that the U.S. maintains approximately 900 troops in Syria partnering with Syrian Defense Forces, but he warns that insider threats (“green on blue” attacks) remain a significant risk as seen previously in Afghanistan.
