Probably just a mechanical problem. Those things are notorious for having issues.

Each one of those planes costs $15,000 per hour to operate!

So that's $60,000 per hour for four of them.

Landing at a civilian airport, requiring you bring your own security!

This doesn't look like a training exercise and it's very expensive!

Article also says it's not a NATO op since they are all covid cancelled.

A small but potent force that can land anywhere they want!

The only forces that have them at present are USMC (longest), US Navy and Japan!

With seven seats each that's 28 people. 8 flight crew and 20 other spaces for marines!

That would indicate a special ops mission imho.

So what's close bye that would be a high value target enough to get these guys visible? Where did they hit?

Article says it was a joint ops with a unit from Toulon to get dominions servers, but that's the q part

Article basically says that a CIA station in Nice was working on french votes with Dominion, and elected Macron instead of Le Pen, who actually won. It's true that those elections were fishy, we basically "elected" Macron with barely 20% of the votes, but that's the french system for you. Article also says those Ospreys were carrying seals and it was a joint operation with the french, to get those dominions drives back. Now i know it says WWG1WGA at the bottom, and I don't really care, those are pictures of ospreys on a tarmac and they were took by a french man in Nice. They stationned there for 6 hours approx.

Thanks for that!

But what would they have gone after in or around Nice?
