You never hear latest..

The pilots that ejected from the f15 jet are safe....and were resuced deep in Iran.

April 6 is coming.. grin
A second US military plane — an A-10 Thunderbolt II — was struck by Iran on Friday, forcing the pilot to eject, according to a US official familiar with the matter.

The pilot of the A-10, also known as a Warthog, was able to navigate the plane out of Iranian territory before ejecting from the aircraft and was subsequently rescued, the official said.

US media says 2 US helicopters involved in rescue mission were hit
The US media is now reporting a US official as saying that two US helicopters involved in search-and-rescue operations for the downed pilots were hit by Iranian fire.

Nairaland is pro Iran.
That's why it accepts fake news promoting Iran as the winner

Its a war! Its natural for casualties and losses on both ends. The outcome will be determined by who has lost more and the capacity to go on fighting. So i really don't get these types of posts. Was America not supposed to have losses?

• F-15E STRIKE EAGLE DOWN: Confirmed shot down over Southern Iran via advanced "Passive Infrared" tracking. One crew member successfully extracted; one remains missing in the Zagros Mountains.

• EMERGENCY DECLARED (F-16): A Fighting Falcon declared a mid-air emergency over Iraq following a high-stakes patrol.

It seems your updating on this war is inaccurate if not you will not be arguing about clear incident that happened on the first day of the war, when UX-Esrael slaughtered those kids in school.
shut up.
Nothing like that ever happened.
No evidence.
If it only happened then the Iran should be held responsible for killing those kids and accusing US of it.

With how many casualties??
Iran is just damaging properties and others are claiming their lives
Claiming lives is not in accordance with their doctrine. It should be the last resort. Humans beings can change any time. Look at Turker Carlson who was an ardent Trump supporter became hard-line anti-war activist. Had you assassinated him because of his support of Trump in the past, we wouldn't witness the amazing works he's doing today. There are many examples.

Your aim is to neutralise or sabotage enemies power. That's what both sides of this war claim to do.

These guys are the propaganda arm of iran,
Spreading fake news on nairaland.
They are only interested in propaganda victory for iran.
With all the beating Iran is getting, they are celebrating an helicopter that got destroyed by missile interceptor debris.
It clearly shows this war is one-sided.

So we should not believe our own eyes again?

But if it was an Iranian helicopter that was damaged, it isn't propaganda?

Do you even know the meaning of propaganda?

Beautifulday:
Is it only US aircraft this people dey gun. What of Israel?
Most of the fleet are operated by the US and are at US bases. Part of Israel’s runway has been destroyed by Iranian missiles. Only helicopters and Israeli fighter jets that can take off vertically can use that airport. You will now that it’s the US’s fighters that are more in the sky than that of Israeli’s. Israel’s jets are not immune to bombing. They are just being lucky not to have been hit.

More so, it’s dangerous for US and Israeli jets to return to those bases already destroyed. They have to go to far away countries that may allow them to land. That’s why they are looking for spaces in other countries where they can park, refuel, load their guns and bombs etc. It’s not easy docking in a far away country to where your stockpile is. That’s why Iran is having upper hand this past 2 weeks.

Jets don’t stay forever in sky. Once they finish dropping their allotted bombs, they have to leave the airspace and go and look for where to land.

This war has turned into an embarrassment for the Americans. The US has never lost combat platforms to any enemy in over 25 years outside the F-117 that was shot down over Serbia. In a matter of days, they've lost an F-15, an A-10 warthog, lost an AWACS plane worth over 700 million dollars, lost over 5 KC-135 Stratotankers plus an F-35 got hit.

The Americans seem hell bent on putting boots on the ground. They will find out the hard way. A US pilot who ejected from the F-15 is still missing in Iran. Only a matter of time before the Iranians get him.
With advancement in technology, there's no underdog in warfare. Iran has suffered severe decimation of its nuclear capabilities & production of war machineries. The Air force & Navy is gone, just the ballistic missiles & mobile launchers doing the dirty jobs. Russian is supply Iran drones & China restocking the missiles.
It's a matter of time, the US & IDF will occupy the Kharg island & other strategic facilities. They will force a regime change & Iran will turn to a banana Nation like Iraq & Libya.

Isreal has been dismantling bridges in Iran ..and infrastructure.. including pharmaceutical facilities
.. without propaganda
Over 3 million displaced in Iran and 3000 death

Us no celebrate

But once Iran achieved one hit.. they celebrate to heaven

What a foolish country
It is those dismantling of bridges, pharmaceutical facilities , residential buildings, schools and universities, by the US and Isreal that qualifies them as terrorist nations.

Those are war crimes and acts of terrorism. It is terrorism against the Iranian people, whom they lie they want to liberate. Their original plan is to destroy Iran and if possible steal their oil.

That is why most sane citizens of the world think the US has no moral right to determine or say which country is a terrorist nation or not.
All those intensification of attacks and strikes is a sign of failure in preliminary plans and dissarray within the enemy. It is an act to bully their perceived weak Iran to surrender, which cant work.

It is a sign of political pressure from their citizens and constituents, Iran knows this and they are ready to drag a war of attrition with the US.

God bless Iran.... For teaching those little bastards aggressors a lesson they will never forget.
which useless lesson when no lives were loss?

If it's about aircrafts, in real wartime, the US can produce more war aircrafts in a day than what Iran can produce in a year. Just thank God America is a democracy and the powers of the president in sending troops for operation is limited. If not,wetin you dey yarn?

The US will only carry out their ground operations, which is not a full scale invasion, because the US troops on ground is not enough to carry out a full scale invasion, the IDF is not ready to commit troops for a ground invasion.

Taking over Kharg Island might be easy but holding it will be difficult for the Marines, they are within range, and could be striked or booby-trapped.
Iran could even strike the Island with missiles with the troops on it and roast them to hell.

Taking over Kharg Island will put all oil, gas and energy infrastructure in the Gulf region under risk, they will be targeted and destroyed and the entire global economy collapses.
America and IDF should forget about regime
change, they will be disgraced.

They go about wreaking havoc all over the Globe all in the name of spreading their useless Democracy.

They killed Gaddafi in Libya because he ruled for 42 years. What about the Sultan of Brunei that has been ruling for 58 years? Because that one is their puppet.

At which cost? Expensive aircraft at the expense of the US taxpayer, the idiot in the WH is now thinking of a war economy in 2027 spending trillions on weapons while cutting spending on medicare and health packages for US citizens, misplaced priorities. But i doubt the Congress will allow such. That is how the Republicans mess up the US economy and Democrats fix it.

And for what you said there, military aircraft or any kind of aircraft cant be manufactured in a day talkess of several.

US Defense firms produce aircrafts for national armed forces or nations procure them from the defense manufacturers through defense contracts before or during wartime, to create your inventory of armaments, aircrafts and military assets.

Nothing is happening on April 6, the entire region and the world will suffer the consequences, Iran is not Gaza. The principalities that want to destroy these two men wont back down till they achieve their aims. NATO leaders are more wiser than these two nincompoop leaders of the US/Isreal, they think they own the world and can just do anyhow. Bombing a nation to the stone age is a serious war crime. At least, they said they wanted to help the people of Iran against their oppressive regime, now they want to bomb to stone age. I am really glad Donald Trump is under an enchantment/spell to destroy America.
The empire is bleeding gradually like a deflating balloon. US, the empire of debt.

The US will continue to suffer this type of humiliation because the US military is an outdated military using old and outdated equipment to fight Iran that are using modern war equipment.
