Both pilots reportedly already extracted safely by a US-Israeli rescue team. Debris confirms F-15E, not the F-35 Iran initially claimed. We broke this down earlier:
The Hormuz Letter@HormuzLetter 2h
BREAKING: A US F-15E Strike Eagle has reportedly been shot down over Iran. Both pilots ejected and were reportedly extracted safely from Iranian territory.
Iran initially claimed it was an F-35, though debris images confirm it’s an F-15E.
I certainly hope it’s true. I can’t imagine why they’d do to those guys if captured
Praise God!
oh thank goodness if true
They would keep them healthy, video them to use as propaganda, probably forced to sign a “confession” to being forced to attack the peaceful and allah loving regime by Israel and the Great Satan himself Trump.
They know if they did anything beyond that we still have ways of retribution far beyond what has happened so far to their infrastructure.
This is the same Iran that was supposedly working with Trump to end the war? Liars as always if so.
So glad to hear they’re safe.
The Iranians are lucky they don’t hold am American hostage.
IF they did, the US would stop playing nice.
Trump is NOT Jimmy Carter.
This particular X account has only 800 followers. I’ll feel more confident when the rescue is confirmed elsewhere.
How was an F-15 shot down if their air defenses have been destroyed?
I wasn’t aware that the F-15 had two pilots. Is that correct?
Trump himself has defined victory here as no nuclear weapons and no restricting oil shipments in the strait. What's really chaffing him is that the public is not happy with $5-a-gallon gas because of an action we were told last Summer was a done deal. That the average mouth breather gives 2 sh*ts about anyone in Iran and frankly 60% enriched uranium. Not saying they shouldn't, but they don't. FR can be an echo chamber.
It must have been mechanical error, which isn’t uncommon with the F-15E.
That’s what I was thinking—it’s a troublesome, old plane.
Their air defenses have been largely destroyed. After a month of getting torn apart they finally managed to shoot down ONE plane which is of an older design.
Yay?
I'm just here for all of the 'ALL IS LOST!' posts by the usual list of the regular comrades.
FR is an echo chamber? That’s funny because I could name 15 posters who hate Trump and consistently post nothing but left wing talking point articles and/or Fuentes fluffing BS here all day everyday.
The anti-jooooo sentiment here is off the charts, so much so they want to see Trump fail for supporting Israel. Ever since Pucker came out of the closet, it’s been a different story around here.
No one ever said all their air defense was gone. They figure over 90% is, but that still leaves units hidden in tunnels and not turned on exposing themselves yet. Plus their stuff can’t see our stealth assets but could see an f15, so its a far bigger/easier radar target.
