They were under heavy fire. That is why the US military lost several expensive assets . This was not Hollywood .

The US mainstream media version.

Commander I can’t get the plane to start . Travis, I told you to replace the battery before mission. All right let’s just leave them here and toss a grenade inside.

those are composite props. On a metal prop you'd get the tips bending on a prop strike.

Also, those props are feathered.

If you look at this C130J, when the engines are off, they're feathered.

Looking at the Saab 2000, it uses the same engine/prop family, these engines/props have a feather pump.

On shutting down the AE2100 engines, you move the prop lever to feather. This is because the feather pump is driven off the engine accessory. As part of normal procedures, you feather the engines for shutdown so they dont windmill etc.

The other scenario is you'd feather in the case of an engine failure.

Both engines have their props feathered. I think this is far more consistent with an aircraft being parked, and then shut down, then eventually bombed.

As i said above, if the aircraft had crashed, firstly, the hull would have had to disintegrate, then the engines would have had to stay attached to the wing, and then strike the ground.

But as i said above, these are composite props. They dont bend like a metal prop upon strike. You can see the prop blades have either shattered off or perhaps melted and bended? It is not however consistent with a strike.



Here is a saab 2000, same engine and prop. Left engine shows the tips just shattered, not bent.


Shattered prop, consistent with the one in the pic too.


What you are referring to, a metal prop strike. But also notice the pitch of the props is far different.



Basically, in summary, its more consistent with it being bombed/blown up rather than crash landing and tips bending. The prop position/damage is far more consistent with the former.

Also, C130 props rotate ACW when viewed from the front. So the damage once again is not consistent with what you suggest.

They had helicopters flying around for hours almost unopposed.
I think it actually shows the opposite.

.... idk abt that

I think the C-130 was basically a gas station they dropped in the middle of Iran for the search helicopters to use as a clandestine refueling area/source. Once the F-15 guy was rescued they had the option of trying to get if off the ground again or blow it up. Probably too dangerous to try and take off on an unprepared surface so they blew it up.

It has no sense.
First the C130 was specifically designed to operated in unpaved landstrips.
Second you cannot hide a C130 in the middle of Irán. People will see landing it from even kilometres away.
Most probably first C130 was covering each other but after damage by light weapons they decided to demolish them and evacuate in helicopters.

You guys better be on your best behaviour... Look who is reading the forums

It took this much effort in people and equipment to extract him, just think of the cost for an invasion.

 

[IceCold]

Not so fast. When Osama Bin Laden was taken out, Pakistan military found out about it from media. These special ops leave very little detectable signature. No shame in not detecting.

If you believe that was ever a thing.

According to Raptor, they will first send in a battalion to establish a perimeter then bring in equipment to build housing and start excavating for the HEU.

So the Americans managed to find the guy before the Iranian military could - on Iranian soil - and extracted him.

This is a blunder - almost to the scale of shooting down the Ukrainian airliner - and this will definitely have consequences, like emboldening the orange retard and simultaneously demoralising the Iranians.
