Of course it is. That's what they are there for, but I was mentioning that it was not a good idea to approach a downed military aircraft unless you are a known entity. The common practice is to BIP (blow in place) a damaged aircraft instead of sending out resources to capture it when it is likely destroyed. Planes aren't built to crash well. So how do they BIP without sending in a team to place explosives? They shoot it with a missile or drop a bomb on it. You probably don't want to be there taking a selfie when that happens.
