Yeah, I am getting very bad vibes about all this rescue mission.As I predicted earlier and as is now the case with US reporting. initial reports down played how bad this was for US. Now 2 C-130s, 4 helis and 2 Reapers. Why did they need to blow up 4 Little Birds? Possibly lack of fuel to make it back, as maybe one of the C-130s was a refueller, but the "stuck in mud" theory is becoming less and less believable
1 saved airman.
Both sides can comfortably claim success, although I am betting more bad news will slowly come out from the US side. I think the airmen has passed away.
If Iranian claims have even a little truth to them, they shot down the C-130s and the choppers. Then the losses for the USA could be huge.
One thing is bothering me after seeing the wreckage shown of C-130s. One of the propeller's blades are fully twisted outwards. This damage could only have happened if the plane were shot down and then fell down/crashed on the ground. If parked planes were shot down in a parked state by the USA, such damage is impossible.
