🇺🇸 Several "flying objects" were destroyed during the US mission to rescue a pilot in Iran, the Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

The spokesperson of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command of the Iranian armed forces, said the downed aircraft included a C-130 military transport plane as well as 2 Black Hawk helicopters, according to the report.

US officials told media on Sunday that both crew members from a downed F-15E in Iran have been recovered after a "heavy firefight," with President Donald Trump confirming the development on his Truth Social platform.

The second rescued pilot is injured but remains "safe and sound," Trump said.

The aircraft had been downed earlier Friday in southern Iran. One crew member was recovered earlier, while both US and Iranian forces had been searching for the second.

Trump added that no US service members were killed or wounded during the two rescue operations.


The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters had said Saturday that Iran's armed forces hit the previous day a US fighter jet, three drones, two stealth cruise missiles, two US A-10 attack planes and two American Black Hawk helicopters.

Ebrahim Zolfaghari, the headquarters' spokesman, said the aircraft were targeted by the air defense systems of the Ground Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps and army under the guidance of the country's integrated air defense network, according to the official news agency IRNA.

Zolfaghari said that Iran's homegrown air defense systems are being unveiled one by one in the battlefield.

Iran does not want any of those pilots dead, if they had wanted them all dead, none of them would still be alive.

grin grin grin

You guys are falling Iranians' hands.
Is Iran that weak that they celebrate the downing of two aircraft after a one-month war, as a victory?

Iraq, which didn't make as much noise as Iran, could shake off up to 436 soldiers.
But we are talking about Iran, which has made so much noise, but at this point, America could go into their territory, pick up their soldiers, and leave with only losing some rescue crafts.

Come on! That is low.

Isn't it embarrassing that Iran that has been underrated, with 47yrs sanctions can still do what they are currently doing to both America and US?
Re: Iran Destroys US C-130 Warplane, 2 Helicopters In Second Pilot Rescue (Photos) by donkarly(m):
US is not like Nigeria. Everything is done openly & publicly declared. If they're hiding number of casualties, the bereaved families & Americans will cry out.
The good thing is that the airman has been rescued. Whether it was US or Iran that destroyed the helicopters is inconsequential. They've got many of it & will keep replacing them,so no biggie
