A days-long electronic warfare drill was one of the causes behind the loss of a four-passenger medevac flight.

    Would be cool to explode out all permutations of this where the US military used GPS jamming to down a civilian plane outside of the us, downed a civilian plane inside the US without jamming, etc. etc.

      list of flexible phrases (with some other options to explore in the permutations):

      -known instance (swept-under-the-rug instance, unverified instance)

      -military (paramilitary, police, civilian)

      -GPS jamming (EMP, communications jamming)

      -played a role (did, caused, was behind, happened close to)

      -downing (exploding, grounding, disappearing)

      -civilian plane (terrorist-linked plane, unknown plane, plane claimed to be civilain by [insert enemy country])

      -in US airspace (in the world, over this specific mountain range, in civilian airspace)

      I like the combination:

      ‘It’s the first unverified instance where paramilitary EMP happened close to an exploding terrorist-linked plane above the Mississippi River’

      or the simple removal of most of it, which the writers hope you imagine when you read it:

      ‘It’s the first instance where US GPS jamming happened close to a non-combatant plane’
