Iranian air defenses shot down a two-seat American F-15 fighter-bomber. The United States launched a search and rescue operation to rescue the pilots of the downed F-15E fighter jet in Iran. An HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter and an HC-130J Combat King II aircraft were dispatched to search and evacuate them.

The fate of the F-15 pilots is still unknown. According to CBS News, one pilot of the F-15E fighter shot down over Iran on April 3 was rescued. The search for the second American pilot is ongoing. According to Iranian media, the IRGC captured the pilot of the downed F-15E fighter jet and shot down the evacuation helicopter. There is no video evidence to support this. It is worth noting that local residents have also begun searching for the pilot and are prepared to engage him in combat.

This debate about Israel being open about news reporting... Gaza shows that is not true. All foreign correspondents were excluded, preventing independent reporting. If Israel was committing war crimes/crimes against humanity that might make sense but not otherwise. If you are observing laws against war crimes/crimes against humanity you welcome independent reporting.

Iran has denied completely shutting down the Strait, through which around a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas normally passes, stating that it is "closed only to enemies". On March 26, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Abbas Araghchi, announced that ships owned by five nations would be allowed to transit the crucial waterway. Since early March, just 142 ships have transited the waterway, equivalent to what would typically pass in a single day, according to maritime data cited by Lloyd's List.


According to that Iran sees all the countries in the world except just five as their enemy.

5 minutes ago Iran fired cluster rockets at Tel Aviv. And immediately we have pictures.

But on tiktok they share fake AI videos, claim that Israel is totally destroyed, but hiding it.


So is the missile stil alive?

Russia and China could not have hoped for a bigger moron in the oval office.

Dude has destroyed the US' standing and relations with europe, destroyed any confidence gulf states had in the US, damaged relations with SK by pulling Patriot and THAAD after the SK government took a big hit with its population by deploying them in the first place and hurt its relations with China (Economic and Diplomatic). And proved that no what posturing the USN does they have no chance in hell surviving any real conflict against China's missile forces in the south china sea.

Which will turn into countries like Japan and SK and current and future governments to revisit their positions re China as the impregnable wall that the US was supposed to provide has pretty much crumbled against a way less sophosticated opponent.

Can't wait for these morons to order a ground invasion just for the internet to be flooded with footage of FPV drones blowing apart whole groups of marines and soldiers and CENTCOM is still gonna tweet "no guys we are already in Teheran with zero causalties" as the next tweet from some dude sitting in a cave in iran shows another reality.

And this guy is still in office for 3 years btw so its not even like supposed "partners" and "allies" can just wait it out because he is gone in 12 months or so.
And he won't stop because Israel is still delusional and thinks it can break apart Iran lmao.

I fully buy helicopters being hit with gunfire; unsure about A-10; they mention it was crashed into sea. Americans are refueling their CSAR birds over Iranian airspace with KC-130s. I don't see how can we view this as an "uptick" on Iranian GBAD activity. If anything, it's the other way around.
Iran's AD capabilities are abysmal. Based on outdated tech that would stand no chance against current gen EW and counters against missiles. Add to it that it is huge country with more mountains then mordor and that they have no real radar network and communication is probably abysmal due to interference and leadership hidding it is no surpise the US can easily enter Iranian airspace.



Then again looks like the KC-130 took hits as well as both CSAR choppers sent in.

One of the pilots is MIA and will most likely turn up dead (shot by the locals) or in iranian hands sooner than later.

3 more years of this btw. Trump getting elected and fucking over the rest of the world is prove enough that US influence around the world needs to be diminished to the minimum. Because the idiots who voted for this guy are going to vote for the next version too.

Also look who is standing behind him lmao one of the guys who pushed for this conflict in the name of israel.

Yes, their air defense system is truly extremely problematic.
It's unlikely that the Iranians will be able to find the second pilot before the Americans. Without the intervention of the Türkiye Akinci drone, the Iranians wouldn't have been able to locate even their own president, who died in a plane crash, let alone an enemy pilot.🙄
