Details on fighter jet, sea-based missile launches
What was revealed in the latest Atlantic dispatch was jaw-dropping in its specificity, and includes the type of information that is kept under wraps to protect the operational security of a military strike.
In the group chat, Hegseth posted:
"1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)"
"1345: 'Trigger Based' F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)"
"1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)"
"1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier 'Trigger Based' targets)"
"1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts — also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched."
"MORE TO FOLLOW (per timeline)"
"We are currently clean on OPSEC" — that is, operational security.
"Godspeed to our Warriors."
