This is the 'mud' that the C-130 plane and the helicopters were supposedly stuck in. You be the judge. That said, the first rescue is understandable given the location, but the second one is a disgrace for Iran.

⚡Telegraph reports that China has sent 4 ships carrying chemicals used to produce missile fuel to Iran.

Analysts assess that these shipments could theoretically allow Iran to produce hundreds of additional ballistic missiles.

They should send some finished missiles too

If it mad3 it back to the base, then it was not shot down as he claimed.

Yes but it's unlikely that it will fly another mission anytime soon

Mikasaobi:
The one thing we are learning from this war is, if the USA fights Russia or china it’ll be a disaster for the USA. It won’t even be a fair fight.

If nor for theother objectives that Russia has, I would have said Putin should abandon the SMO and let USA build as many bases as it wants.

Mikasaobi:
The refuelling happened at the border region, then the helicopters used the terrain for a low level penetration. Pictures of the helicopters in Iran confirmed they were flying low.

Iran eventually shot them down so what’s the fuss about.

Exactly. It also turned out that both A10s were hit but one of them made it back to base.

To save from the Communists takeover, Russia and China influence.
Policy started after 1960s ,who wants nukes a hundred miles from your coast. How dare you have launchers Yankee cannot detect with a 30 minute grace period? You can ask democrats to answer those questions too.

You never disappoint

Iran acting like the Barbary pirates who were holding ships to ransom m
Or the Somali pirates who were hijacking ships for ransom.

The strait of Hormuz doesn't belong to Iran. Two countries UAE and Oman border the Straits on the southern side.
That tells you that Iran is the problem .

Why are you blockading Cuba?

BREAKING:

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Initial reports that another US F-16 fighter jet was shot down over Iran tonight

It’s still unconfirmed, but wreckage photos have surfaced

Not shot down. The engine's discroproburator overheated, loosening the trisphenic kinkilator that helps the excorcisous filter to keep stray evil spirits from flying into the engines.

On a serious note, I hope it is true

23jerryking:
Would the pilots be retired as well? Hell no, they take that experience to the next mission, do you know how much damage these jets have done since the start of the war? How many did Iran manage to shoot down? How many pilots have they captured and used as leverage?
Machines are many in the garage.

I've told you before. Until recently, they have been firing from outside Iranian airspace. Now that their JASSMs and Tomahawks are running low, they are flying into Iranian airspace. I believe you can see how that is turning out for them.

23jerryking:
Thank God you already come out clean by stating the obvious 😂😂😂. Would you obey the oder if you happen to be one of the troops? I should carry manpad in broad daylight and do what even machines are hiding to do🤣🤣.

Manpad no be cutlass wet u go dey carry around na
Complex SAMS emit radar signatures. A camouflaged man shooting out of nowhere doesn't

23jerryking:
Hitting cannot count as achievements, actual shot down should be the main thing. The fact that they could even go in the first place says a lot.

What's this guy saying? Do you think they land after taking a hit and go on another mission the next day? Most of them would take months or years to fix. Some will even be retired for good.

Hmmm na wetin I dey reason since.

See as helicopters just dey fly pass unchallenged.

If Iran no correct am quick, they'll be smoked really hard.

Iran's geographical advantage is a double-edged sword. The landmass and mountains allows enemy aircrafts to move around if they fly low enough.
Iran has also lost many long-range radars and their more powerful SAMs are slower to set up and too vulnerable to counter attacks.
For now, they rely on popping out of mountains, firing at aircrafts with light missiles, and hiding again.

What my bloody civilian head thinks is that they should further spread their troops around the country and arm them with manpads. Make them second-guess every inch they move inside Iran

I respect their guts for even trying it.

"Crashes"

These people take us for fuuuulllsss.

But it crashed na. The pilot forgot to off the gas cooker after frying eggs while bombing Iran

Initial reports of a downed— sorry, crashed A10

From sacking generals to losing jets and critical assets; everything they have mocked Russia over has happened to them in just one month.

basilico:
He had an indictment. He was a fugitive escaping justice.
Didn't Fani Willis proudly publish this one?
Prisoners of War are not fugitives. There are international coventions that guide how POWs are treated.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

An F-16 is sending distress calls.

shoodboi2:
US news networks are reporting that Iran shot down a US jet. They obviously couldn’t deny this one unlike the previous ones

They attempted to find the pilot by flying low with helicopters but they have been forced to retreat. Some reports are saying one of the helicopters was hit.

It's crystal clear now that USA is running out of stand off missiles. They have no choice but to be flying deep into Iranian airspace.

basilico:
What separates the savages from the civilized.
If the Iranians get to the American pilots they will parade them on TV.
Something the western armies would never do.

Saddam did that. Hamas does that.
Savagery at it's worst, it's like they are bereft of humanity ,like they haven't fully evolved.
Yet they are the same ones who complain when their captured fighters don't get 3 course meals.

Sp what about what you did to Maduro? Isn't that savagery?

Masterviolence:
What about the supposed friendly fire?

What and the tankers that supposedly collided?

I believe those ones were cleaned up. I can't remember seeing any image

After France joined Russia and China to veto a UN resolution concerning the strait of Hermuz, Iran let a French ship pass the strait today

Masterviolence:
There's a trend I've noticed in this war.

Have anyone here seen the wreckage of U.S fighter jets in this war?
With the exception of the AWACS and tankers days ago, I've never seen the pictures of any destroyed U.S fighter jets (specifically) even though CENTCOM have announced a couple of those.
Even with the paid satellite imagery I have access to, I've never seen any.

I'm pretty sure there's a special unit in the u.s military (probably the only unit not working remotely) that's responsible for cleaning up mess like this.

In the previous shoot down, Iran claimed the jet had sunk in the sea and One of the best SAMs Iran uses doesnt pack much destructive power. The jets get hit but still manage to make it to a friendly airspace and land.

Iran has also been striking airbases a lot. It would not be easy to know if a jet is destroyed while it is sheltered

dermmy:
Una go talk say Una don destroy am reach 90% yesterday, una go come up with another story tomorrow. I taya for US and Israel

You can't make this up. If this war were to be a movie, it would get poor rating for lack of realism.

Mille:
My issue with Iran is still their announcements.

The US didn't announce to commuters and civilians before it authorised a strike on the B1 Bridge killing and injuring a lot of commuters. I expect Iran to have done the same before releasing their list of 8 bridges.

They must be willing to play those bullies at their games

I have noticed something though. They mostly warn citizens living in the gulf countries. Israelis don't get that privilege

He is on a firing spree. Reports say more generals will be booted out
