All these people are clowns. The world has long known the US for its military prowess that even a few of their captured or dead soldiers in a war now look like the enemy is winning, even when thousands must have fallen on the other side. Keep celebrating the crash of one fighter jet while Iran is being bombed to the Stone Age. By the time this war is over, Iran will be so decimated that it will take them decades to build back what they have today. And even those who try to help them rebuild will be extremely burdened by the monumental cost.

Trump and isreal have made the mistake of underestimating Iran's capabilities, couple with disregarded the UN, NATO and other western Allies who could even sabotage their efforts because they have worked together before and know some of America's secrets and codes.
Imagine fighting Iran that is stronger than Afghanistan and Iraq that dealt with them in the past the strongest country in the Middle East .

These people shot a tomahawk missiles into a primary school killing over 168 school children with their teachers in the middle of negotiation.
No good Iranian would ever forget that!
They have bombed bridges.
They have bombed universities.
They have bombed gas infrastructure.
And with Trump promising to bomb them into stone age, no Iranian would pity any of them.
Since you are the mouth piece of the Iranian people, tell me who would the Iranians side with? Their government who killed thousands of them for protesting against economic hardship or foreign governments who have been carefully targeting the brutal Iranian regime officials?

Oh yes! Hollywood will have a proper dine out over this for the next 30 years perhaps.

Fun Fact: The US military is embedded into Hollywood. They have a dedicated office within the Office of the Secretary of Defense in Los Angeles, along with individual liaison offices for each branch of the armed forces. It's called Department of Defence Entertainment Media Unit.

Filmmakers seeking to use military equipment (ships, aircraft) or film on military bases must submit scripts for approval and agree to have the Department of Defense oversee depictions and the aim is to boost public image, aid recruitment, and secure a favourable narrative of the US military. The storyline must not criticise the US military or you're not shooting any film. So that means most Hollywood movies we've seen, portraying US military are facade. Movie scripts are either changed or rewritten to boost their image.

More than 2,500 films and TV shows have been assisted by the US Department of Defense to portray the US Military in good light, including Top Gun, Iron Man, Black Hawk Down, Transformers, and Captain Marvel.
"The storyline must not criticise the US military or you're not shooting any film. So that means most Hollywood movies we've seen, portraying US military are facade."

Interesting. I always say most of us have been brainwashed from young through Hollywood movies...they make us believe the US military is invincible.

But what about the prior jets they claimed they downed? Were those ones without pilots?

The way you guys are jubilating, one will think they captured Trump. It's two American soldiers o. As against the supreme leader and almost all top military personnel Iran lost on day 1.
It’s the plane that matters. That’s the one bombing. Do you know the level of havocs the plane was causing? Now any rescued pilot won’t fly again, until he or she is satisfied fit because that type of ejection usually affects their spinal cord, if they don’t eject correctly. To eject correctly usually takes grace of God. You can go and fact-check this. Some even kpai, after ejecting.

Iran May be lucky to locate any parachuted pilots.
It’s not easy to down a plane and quickly rush there. First of all, the terrain may be bad. Also, it may be far and other US’s fighter jets could still be in the sky, trying to locate those pilots, with the help of location trackers on those pilots which send signals to satellites and US planes.
They also have location trackers and other ‘locators’ on them that can be fired into the sky for any types of planes flying around them can see and know that a pilot is down there and needs help.

So it’s not as easy as you think.

Lol. Bigger win than taking out the supreme leader and most of his top generals. I understand. That's how Iran wins.

I will not feel sorry for any US personnel that dies somewhere there. They romanticized it then in Iraq and Afghanistan as some noble heroic thing. How did it end?

Iran has been defeated 20 times according to liar-in-chief Trump.

That's the real definition of global "Soft power." However, that strategy certainly can't last for ever if it's based on pure historical deceit.

Smh.

The time that Trump would have used to rescue him was used to deny that the jet was shot down by Iranian air defences.

Iranians are good people and that is why their civilization can stand for over 7,000 years.
US at around 250 is already decaying.

Like the US-native Pope said in response to the prayer of successful war by Hegseth, one who live by the sword will die by the sword.

Yes the brainwashing certainly did a number on Africans. It took me a long time to decouple from the narratives and see them for who they are.

Millions of Nigerians/Africans are still under their spell but do you blame them? Most of African media space including Nigeria is dominated, influenced and funded by American and European NGOs to portray US and Europe in good light at the detriment of the prosperity of Africa.

That's why you see a lot of zombies on here who believes Iran is the reason why Nigeria is infested with Boko Haram etc......Because US & EU told them so through Reuters, BBC, Fox News, Sky News etc. They forgot the saying - Once you control the media - you control their mind, once you control their mind - you control them.

One crew has been rescued remaining one to go...... Don't worry your brothers the IRGC will not be able to capture him, dey have been drilled on issues like this.
The one rescued may not survive it. They don’t usually survive, if how the ejection happened was too dangerous and not in a position the plane is upright and in slow speed.

You can try and read more about this.

The reason why they try to eject is because if enemies could catch them, miraculously, alive, enemies can extract info from them or use them to negotiate some deals.

Even after ejecting safely, they have to glide towards where there’s no enemy. They may end up on water (if the accident happens at sea) or in thick forest where dangerous animals are. That’s where their knowledge of survival kicks in, with the little survival apparatus on them.

Yes soft power is exactly what it is and certainly the illusion is crumbling right in front of the world.

Arguably, religion export is also one of the strongest soft power they have in their armoury. Everything they imposed on Africa including their economic model, governmental style and ideologies are all soft power. That's why they are hellbent on maintaining their grip on the continent of Africa. Their soft power projection has never favoured Africa, it will never favour Africa.

What are you saying sir? There are several case of pilot serving such scenario, so i don't get where you're getting ur calculations from and saying dey won't survive.

Situations surrounding the position of plane A may be differ from position of plane B at the time of ejection. Don’t forget that those planes too try to dodge or maneuver around objects fired at them.

Why plane rolls over in space and still on full speed facing downward, it may be tougher for pilot of such plane to eject, compared to a plane that is upright in position and not under fire but just a mechanical fault.

Don’t forget they are usually covered in glass and they have to quickly perform some ejection operations, to be able to eject successfully.

Any nano seconds miscalculation, when ejecting is always fa tà! Plane’s body usually hit/mangle them, when ejecting and the speed at which they eject is like a speed of missile launcher (with full force).

You can check again. Chances of survival are usually slim, during attacks. But on a normal cruising speed and upon noticing mechanical fault, which warrants pilots to eject, there is usually a higher chance of survival, compared to when they are trying to maneuver around attacking objects which they have 50/50 chance.

Those that survive are usually on wheelchairs for life.
