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

[Persian Gulf]

How do you expect them to get to rural Khuzestan before the U.S.?

you are telling me the Iranian army doesn't have any significant presence in a key Iranian border province ? don't need battalions, just a few dozen MANPAD crews spread across each border city

they used to say we had the largest helicopter fleet in the region, where are they?

This war is getting too stressful. I'm starting to think that maybe it's time to take a break. lol

I just hope that a ground invasion of our southern territories will never happen because based on what we saw today, we most likely will never get them back.

Iran is a big country, the pilots will have trackers and beacons

So the U.S would have known exactly where they were and Iran didn't

The distance from U.S bases in the GCC to pilot sites wasn't that great

It is what it is


If their is a large scale incursion then it's a different matter all Iranian forces and attacks can be then concentrated on the invasion sites

apparently Artesh doesn't exist any more but at least we have noble tribesmen of Khuzestan

Where is the second guy?


Bros I think he's dead or in Iranian custody

He’s probably dead at this point from injuries sustained during the hit.

I reported on this event over 12 hours ago when it first hit the news wires.

If Iran had him they would announce it. If U.S. had him they would announce it. Thus, most likely the WSO died.

However, there is a Small chance he is hiding in some mountain crevice waiting for a night spec ops team to come get him.

What does the venue matter when the demands are a non-starter anyways?

capturing his dead body is still worthwhile

didn't our military leaders invite the US army to come to Iranian territory if they dare, and now they are flying over our border provinces for hours with helicopters in low altitude in daylight? they should have been better prepared for this.

now we know why they tried to order 3000 MANPADs from Russia (a bit late for that).

naturally, they couldn't disarm Hamas (yet), so they have no realistic prospect of disarming Hezbollah

True, Iran is a huge huge country, jagged mountainous terrain, remote areas unreachable by road, so, with win no airforce and choppers, It can get virtually impossible for Iran to search the pilot. Though, the US choppers should've been shot down before entering Iran's airspace.

provided there are any people in the area. you can rule out Iranians using helicopters and planes to reach the wilderness. they will be using vehciles while Americans with their bruised ego have brought an army to rescue their pilots and claimed to have found one already.,

"fall of debris" caused two fires, 5 killed/injured, and "significant damage" to the facilities

powerful debris indeed

Khuzestan is THE SAME SIZE AS WEST VIRGINA



You want to find one pilot in this remote region of Iran with no helicopters or specialized planes while the other side has satellites, GPS beacons and countless drones and Search and rescue looking for him?

I mean you guys really need to get your expectations in check.

When the US lost a F-35 in South Carolina it took them 24 hours to find the jet because the pilot ejected and the plane kept flying.

The only fair criticism is why more helicopters or the low flying C-130 wasn’t hit. But again they are shielded by mountains so you need some tribal warlords to have manpads sitting and waiting or an AA team that survived the intial sweep.

Yes, but the fact that we haven't been able to shoot down a C-130, a flying coffin by all means, deep inside our territory after nearly 3 hours does not bode well for us.

Our troops should've been close to the area with MANPADs already.

THat C-130 is not flying alone unprotected. We are only seeing glimpses. Just because they are not being targeted in the short videos coming out doesn't mean that they have freedom of movement throughout Iranian skies especially when they are there as a response to a tactical Fighter/attack aircraft being downed by Iran.
