What FACTLY found
Although the US has carried out strikes following the Kabul airport blast, these videos have nothing to do with these strikes. While a video is actually a GIF of a drone strike, another video is a mini documentary about MQ-9A, designated as ’Reaper’ by the U.S. and Royal Air Force
