Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

  • First pilot scooped up hours after hit before iran could react
  • Second pilot “allegedly” got separated from first pilot KMs apart. So far apart that during the initial rescue operation the U.S. spec ops couldn’t get to him as well and had to leave the battlefield under small arms fire
  • Second pilot “allegedly” contacted home base that he was alive
  • Repeated attempts to find and rescue him have failed despite the fact they are fighting nomads and basij with AK47s.

Theory: 1st pilot was injured, unknown if still alive after rescue. Second missing pilot is KIA and this is a recovery mission.

Really hard for me to believe this WSO is still alive. I could very well be wrong, but it wouldn’t take Delta force 2 days to find this guy.

Targeting storage tanks only causes very temporary easily mitigated damage. Iran is still holding back by not attacking actual refining equipment. Almost a waste of a missile imho.

The most reasonable take on the situation especially when they probably have GPS or some kind of locator identifying where their location is

I am trying to assess the combat readiness of Iranians against a highly organized force with a lot of combat experience in different terrains.

You want Iran to find 1 pilot in this terrain:

1775359058948.jpeg
1775359084651.jpeg

Last picture is Lordegan area which is just KMs away from where helicopters were reported.

Judging Iran’s ground forces because they cannot find a needle in a haystack is very short sighted.

US special forces are the best in the world. Hands down. No debate. The U.S. military excels at two tasks really really well: Blitzkreig air attack operations (Midnight Hammer) and Special Forces raids (Bin Laden raid, Al Baghdadi raid).

You cannot expect Iran to match the U.S. in either of these two areas or even come close.

The good news is, Iranian islands and coastline won’t be invaded by tens of thousands of special forces, it will be infantry and marines having to attack then hold territory and defend. That’s very different than quick infiltration operations by highly skilled operators

Its not the the US special forces are the best, but its a force multiplier when you have a team of helicopters and a "homing" location to tell you where to go

Missing US airman recovered, but rescue operation ongoing
We have more on the US operation inside Iran.

A US government official has told Al Jazeera that the rescue operation is still in progress.

The missing crew member is confirmed rescued, they said. but not safe yet. The rescue team must still successfully exfiltrate from Iran and get back to safety, they added.
