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.

the failure of the capture op will also be a teachable moment for the persian army

Officially official!!!
I have always report here that the US is reckless. The things they do will only take someone with balls of steel. Cause how will a fighter jet goes down and you still send helicopters and slow rotatory wing aircraft? Those operators are badass.

I forsee this operation going but for the US to pull this off,deep inside Iran with active AD same like the Venezuela scene shows that they knows their stuff. Nah Russia or China can't even come this close !!!

Who be mumu?

As US don lose more military equipments in 34 days than Russia wey dey fight for 4 years, e good for una eye?

Make una better start dey panic because if this war last another 6 months, US go dey beg Ukraine to borrow them equipment.

Iran dey burn through US weapons too fast. Not sustainable.
6 months is a massive, massive stretch

It was a complex rescue!!!... the ability to control the skies was key!! I think this should served as a stepping stone to future deployment of special forces into Iran to conduct limited sabotage and clandestine operations... I had no doubts about the ability of the Us special mission community to be able to deploy small elements of special forces and get the job done... this kind of mission should be better of it was supporting ground operations in Iran


Failure for the US and Israel to build up a significant armed opposition inside Iran has made the war costly... all the Trump administration was betting upon was civilians taking to the streets!!.. that was the childish move!! If the Israeli had done the ground work we would have been having a Libya 2.0 now!!


A win is a win thou!! One thing is certain after this war Iran won't be the same again...especially if the US starts attacking energy facilities!!

I remember when Masterviolence was comparing those kids in spantez with members of the US special forces community!!
Spetnaz has always been a Joke.
No significant special ops milestone in Ukraine,
Hostelmel airport they can't seize and this is even close to home with as much support they can get.
No country comes close to US special ops mode of operation. Technicality with years of experience.
This particular ops have every reason of going bad.

something is not clear

in the video there are three planes
two helos and one c-130

how did all three get stuck in the sand

did they land in a quicksand?

something doesn't add up




both rescues were actually a negative for persia

they did not know the pilots ejected until they observed the yanks inserting aircraft in a rescue attempt

the second rescue is just as bad but somewhat understandable

because they had to cover a lot of ground to find the pilot while the americans had pinpoint accuracy of where the pilot was at all times

personally, i think it is a failure of not having a pre-defined quick response capture protocol in place
they were always 6-12 hours behind the yanks

โšกU.S. intelligence says Iran is using decoys, making it hard to tell which targets are real.

This creates uncertainty about how many actual missile systems have been destroyed, since some strikes may have hit fakes instead of real launchers.
Idiats, so Iran will keep their launchers for to destroys.

This is literally what Trump just told you. The US flew in, built a secret US base, landed 2 C130s ran 35 miles to a distant mountain, rescued a severely injured pilot from the mountain travelling 35 miles back by foot across open plain, while engaged in massive night time fire fight. Tried to take off in 2 c130s that got stuck in airport. Kept battling until more troops came and took them away, then blew up the C130s in air

that makes zero sense

do you know what 35 miles is?

35 miles is 56 kilometers

and you want to claim these cyborgs ran 112 kilometers (56 kilometers each way) to rescue an injured pilot

wait for more info before regurgitating obvi crap

shoodboi2:
They have built this myth of invisibility around their military and more especially, around their pilots. So capturing their soldiers easily breaks that myth. It's the same reason they never admit Iran shot down their aircrafts.

It's the same thing with Israel and even Ukraine at the beginning of the war. One of the most effective tactics Hezbollah uses to increase Israeli casualties is to ambush an Israeli unit, and then lay another ambush for the Israeli units that attempt to rescue them. They then lay a third ambush for the rescuers that come to rescue the rescuers.
Itโ€™s a Tv show for them and their fans. They had a lot of โ€œ minor injuries โ€œ and โ€œ damage planes โ€œ but itโ€™s still victory. They donโ€™t want us to see the pilots crying.

Looks visible if they came with choppers(not confirmed though).
While the c130 lands in open field. Remember the pilot might not be close to the field and look severely injured maybe one of the reason the ops is hastened
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriterrNg: 9:33am On Apr 05
The question everyone should be asking:

How did 2 C-130 aircrafts suddenly get stuck in the sand and unable to fly?

Is that even possible? These clowns think they're talking to fellow clowns.

They got hit badly and were unable to carry on with the mission, so they left them behind.

2 helicopters were also destroyed. Did they also get "stuck in the sand."

Are helicopters affected by sand too?

you did not comment when the plane was shot down
did not comment when they lost a-10 warthog
two helos, f-16
did not comment when the lost two more helos and a c-130s
now you're commenting because they claim they rescued the pilots with no fatalities
story!

and the ๐Ÿคก is now saying this rescue op proves the probability of success in a ground invasion is over 90%

you are so slow
๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜€

how many fpv and shahed drones did iran launch at the pilot and rescuers
persia wanted them alive
it'll be different in an invasion

i hope this rescue emboldens them to invade
it will not be an in and out
they'll have to stay and their planes and bodies will litter persia
just like all their planes during this op

-Lord
I didn't comment because after all those loses of equipment and the pilot isnt rescued,its a failure but now i can with confidence that i was scared for nothing
I can confidently say iran is a 3rd world military now
Imagine US set up a remote base inside iran for hours and then couldn't bomb it with their so called fatah missiles,its only to target civilian infrastructure like refineries they good at
Bloody terrorists
And i see you people comparing equipment loss to human lives
What were the the equipment produced for,to save lives, something the axis needs to learn.All you celebrate is death, matrydom this matrydom that.God forbid.
Spilling unnecessary blood
I just hope trump wont extend again after 48 hrs expire
I know to you one ayatollah is not worth an iranian gun boat.I wonder how you people think

And that is because America is oceans away. If they were located in Iraq or Israel, they would have been counting their dead Generals head.

Or you think Israel hasn't counted dead Generals, Lieutenants, Majors head?

Have you even tried joining any Isreali Facebook or telegram group to see what's really happening?
