Bro Dont u think that US ability to rescue the one of the pilots despite it been inside iran is an indication that ground invasion might not be that difficult.

Video footage published by Iranian state-run media which claims to show the targeting of a U.S. Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt ll earlier today over Southern Iran by a surface-to-air missile, with the A-10 later crashing in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Kuwait, while the pilot… pic.twitter.com/0CCwa1Q8iI

Shooting helos with pistols
🤣🤣🤣🤣

A reminder that this is how they searched for the missing helicopter of their president, who ended up being eaten by bears 🐻

No chance they will find the US pilots before the US special forces.

I have a feeling the US tried to insert troops inside Iran today but failed woefully.

They will try again. Hope Iran hits them harder next time.

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.

Those helicopters you see got hit.

The Warthog A-10 and a tanker got hit.

It's been reported.

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.

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

Hitting it certainly means the aircraft is condemned forever. Troops inside are as good as dead.

Might have even crash landed or exploded mid air.

It seems like you don't know how fragile aircrafts are.

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.

WriterrNg:
⚡The missing American fighter pilot has not yet been found, and search operations continue in Kohgiluyeh & Boyer-Ahmad.

Despite extensive U.S. efforts using jets, helicopters, and surveillance drones, no success has been reported.

Iranian security forces, military units, and local tribes are actively searching and say they have blocked enemy objectives.

Authorities urge the public to rely on official sources and report any information.

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🤣🤣.

Jovi10:
So many tears on this thread😁😁😁😁😁 our NVBs no fit believe wetin their eyes dey see from Iran hand 😂😂😂

23jerryking:
You're not getting the point.

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.

LordAdam16:
nah

the pilot hiked to an extraction point near the border

and the extraction force (two helos) was hit on their way out

a ground invasion will not be two helos entering border airspace
it'll be hundreds of air assets dropping and supporting thousands of insertions

it'll be both a target rich environment and a bloodbath
