Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by Botragelad(op): 4:35am On Apr 05
A US government official has told Al Jazeera that the second crew member from the downed F-15E has been recovered after a “heavy firefight”.

We were told by the US government source that overnight in Iran, a missing crew member of the downed F-15E has been located, and there was a rescue effort, but there was a fierce firefight.

The latest information we have with them is that the crew member has not left Iranian territory, and because of the ongoing hostilities, there could be still danger to that person and to other people involved in that rescue effort.

So, this is an ongoing, active, rescue effort, but that airman is not basically out of Iranian territory, and I want to be clear when I say airman in the US military parlance, that doesn’t necessarily mean a male.

We don’t know the gender of this person.

The US rescue team still needs to successfully exfiltrate them out of the country and to safety, and we have no confirmation that that has happened

Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by Botragelad(op): 4:37am On Apr 05
It takes serious guts to do something like that, walking straight into an active enemy warzone to rescue your own people, even getting into a firefight.

I really look forward to this mission ending successfully. You don’t see a lot of militaries going to those lengths to bring their own back. That’s a strong nation right there.

Even the Iranian state media the telegraph and BBC are reporting it.

That's some real life movie

Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by madridguy(m): 4:54am On Apr 05
The Iranian government have said since the US government is not telling the truth about the first pilot they would rather remain silent about the second pilot.

Let just wait and see the drama going.

Lol, coming from some boy in Africa. You act like you know more about the Iranian regime than actual Iranians. Aren’t you a Muslim in Nigeria? That’s wild 😂😂

What a joke. Sure, let’s ‘wait and see.’ We’re still waiting on Bibi to drop dead and Ayatollah to magically come back to life too 😂😂.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by madridguy(m): 5:03am On Apr 05
I will never lie about my identity. I be Africa man original. We have heard many lies from your White House/CENTCOM trying to cover things up.
Your government at first claimed no jet was shutdown even after the Iranian government said they have shut down your jet.

I will be here waiting to burst your lies.

First, you have to burst Ayatollah, Sinwar, and nasrallah out of their casket!

Focus on developing your ability to think and speak critically, son. 😂
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by madridguy(m): 5:09am On Apr 05
Toddler, remember your mission in Iran, regime change, so don't try to change the goal post.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for POTUS to brag about the success of the rescue of the pilot without him rushing to post it on his App or tweeter by showing them then everything is just a joke.

Haha. Rants of an islamist. Devoid of logic.

Meanwhile I'm waiting for Iran to eliminate Bibi and brag about winning the war. You should be more focused on the mess around you, Islamic terrorism and all of that.
Silence ☪️🤮
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by madridguy(m): 5:18am On Apr 05
Hahaha, rants of an Zionist diaper soldier. Bibi can continue to hide inside bunker using AI to deceive himself, Iran missiles will reach him soon that is if he's still alive.

Though I don't care if he's alive or not, because you hide the death of your former PM for 8 years so Bibi can be inside a refrigerator in Germany while you are using AI to deceive yourself.

My IDF friend Botragelad, POTUS have released a statement about the operation and I found another lie as usual.

The US initially claimed they're looking for a pilot, but from the POTUS statement now he said they have rescued the two pilots grin, now, connect it with what I said earlier " The Iranian government said they won't say anything about the second pilot since the US government are not telling the truth about the first pilot".

US blow up own planes 'rather than fall into Iranian hands' — NYT reports

If the report from the NYT is right, then the rescue mission is like a bait from the Iran and the mission is bloody.

If the Iranian regime are in possession of the airmen just like you're trying to point out, don't you think by now dey (regime) would have been releasing statements and jubilating about the capture of a US military personnel? Just like dey where masturbating about the downing of the F15?
Well just like botragelad said, you're a supporter of the regime so nothing different is expected.

So you admit the CENTCOM, like the orange man lied about there being no crash?
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by Saturnalia(m): 7:37am On Apr 05
Only a deluded person will believe any news or information coming out of the United Snakes of Amerika concerning their losses.

The foundation of Amerika itself was built on lies & propaganda with which they have successfully brainwash the gullible people of the World.

Trump (The Orange Baboon) has proven times without number that anything he says is just for the media.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by NairalandBishop(m): 8:17am On Apr 05
This post too will probably not make front page but you see the ones with propaganda and lies by anti US/Israel it will get to front page before they finish posting.

This one happened and has been reported since yesterday, the mods did nothing about it.
But let Iran blindly fire a missile into the depth of the Pacific ocean , you will see how it will quickly make front page and Nairaland IRGC propagandists will jump on the thread to create their happiness

How's anyone with half a brain supposed to take you folks seriously when all you do is spin lies and Islamic propaganda that's devoid of any sense.

People like God1000 and Madridguy, I can't help but wonder how they go about living their daily lives with this kind of thinking cap on.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by callmeDDD: 8:45am On Apr 05
These people deliberately crashed this plane to pave way for invasion, nothing Una wan tell me. How can you fly into another person's territory and crashed and you couldn't have been lynched by the Iranian people. More than 2 days o before rescue comes through. Not every strategy they will share to the world. It's just an excuse for an invasion.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by Kobicove(m): 8:47am On Apr 05
The US government is very lucky the Iranians did not capture this guy
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by tunary(m): 8:48am On Apr 05
This reminds me of the famous Hollywood movie, behind the enemy lines, it must be really very interesting.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by OriOko88(m): 8:48am On Apr 05
Can only be the US. Capturing a pilot deep inside enemy's territory during war?? This is another Hollywood blockbuster movie
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by fasho01(m):

The Iranian regime is very lucky they didn't capture the US airman because that would be enough justification to rip Iran to the ground.

This is Trump not your pink haired liberal who's confused and too woke to take actions.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by ZUBY77(m): 8:50am On Apr 05
Is it not delusional that some people think Hundreds of US and Israeli jets would carry out thousands of flights and bombings in Iran without losing machines or soldiers?

Even Nigeria military would have done something too.

The end is the Target. Nearly all Iranian regime leaders are on the ground already and some people are claiming winning a war that is being fought in their territory.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by ogascomax: 8:50am On Apr 05
Some people don't understand this mission that was undertaken to recover the missing crew member. US is fighting a war hundreds of thousands of kilometres away and they think it is an easy feet.
We all want this war to cease at this time and no need taken sides at this point. The war must cease.
Re: Second US Crew Member From Downed Jet Recovered by Montana23: 8:50am On Apr 05
I wonder how we fall for this fake news, USA will learn and Israel that push them into unnecessary shit,.I always loved the USA till I started understanding the history back to my high school when their was different wars in Iraq,Libya, Syria, Afghanistan.. behind they have ve done a swap and no one knows..this people are paid to act..stop believing this shitty news..am done with them..as far as Epstein and his friend can walk freely..UShit, Israshit..THANK YOU IRAN ❤️
