New this AM is that I can not post from Xmas you can see .
 
The AC-130 is flying below the mountain range. So any long distant system wouldn’t be able to “see it” since the mountain would block the radars. Also there is curvature of the earth to take into account as well (this is why OTH radars are powerful since they bounce waves off the upper atmosphere).
This is why I insisted that Israeli attacks on our OTH sites before the 12-day war shouldn't have been overlooked. Iran is the heaven of flying below the radar for cruise missiles and military aircraft.

So the only way you are hitting that C-130 is a manpad or a SHORAD that is within 10KM-20KM of it, which again why would a SHORAD be camping in a remote village? So that leaves just manpad.
Because it seems to have lasted a couple of hours, we must've sent someone with MANPADs for a potential CSAR ops the minute we shot down the F-15.

The operation is likely already over - we are dealing with fog of war. I was first to report this and that was over 7 hours when news of the jet hit the wires. So either he has already been rescued or iran has them.
Well, in that case, you're right and it's already over. Nevertheless, if it lasted a couple of hours, it's bad for us that we didn't shoot down the C-130.

Good strategic movie. Hit their pilots so there will be no one left to fly those planes.

Bombers are based in the UK.

Us pilots are legitimately insane hornets are doing strafing runs whilst getting shot at by manpads and c-130s over iran refueling CSAR. They are begging to be shot down. Might also be bait for other assets waiting to blast that remaining AD unit

arrogance is the word, they have been drilled with the concept that they are invincible and over airspace in which they have total air dominance

IMO a MANPADS are unable to shoot down this kind of aircrafts, they´re equiped with DIRCM designed to blind IR seekers with lasers
