I'm not posting the photo as it's gnarly but there's possible human remains on one of the C-130 wrecks. Increases possibility that aircraft was hit on the ground and that was the reason they had to ditch at least one of them.

What kind of a comment is that?
Many countries can do what the Americans did in Iran.
So,it depends on where you do it,not if you can do it.
Think about it and come back.
Did you read the posts after mine?you think many countries can pull off sending in special forces 200+ miles into enemy territory, setting up FOB and searching for missing pilot
while 50 to 100 aircraft aircraft are supporting the operation, and aircraft waiting on standby for potential need for support?

You dont need 50 aircraft,remember that Iran has no air assets or real air defence.
It only has ground forces which means when you rule the skies you have the upper hand,the ground forces can be taken out easy.
The US has satelites,every movement on the ground can be seen and imediately eliminated by missiles from ships or air assets.
Lets just agree to disagree.how do you think US prevented Iran from attacking them? you need air support, and for constant air support you need that many aircraft,
fighter jets can't loiter for entire day, they need to be swapped and their stations replaced within few hours
also satellites don't provide reliable constant real time intel, thats why US has highly secretive RQ-180 and is developing SR-72

In Ethiopia, Iraq, and Syria, Iranian Muhajir-6 drones proved completely useless. Due to the ineffectiveness of these Muhajirs, Ethiopia purchased Bayraktar TB2 drones from Turkey immediately after the Karabakh War and used them with great success during the conflict in Tigray in 2021.US Central Command has released footage of the downing of an Iranian Mohajer-6 reconnaissance and attack UAV. The location of the footage was not disclosed. The Mohajer-6 was presumably shot down by US aircraft. The Mohajer-6 UAV has been produced in Iran since 2017 and is designed for reconnaissance, surveillance, and fire support. The Mohajer-6 has been used in combat in Iraq, Syria, and Ethiopia, where it has proven itself.
Iran is facing 700 aircraft, a navy, and satellite reconnaissance. Despite this, it's still holding up quite well.In Ethiopia, Iraq, and Syria, Iranian Muhajir-6 drones proved completely useless.

Incidentally, Russia, which also used the Muhajirs, was also extremely dissatisfied.
It's worth noting that after the Muhajirs' failure on the Ukrainian front, Putin personally approached Erdogan with a request for Turkish drones, but Bayraktar refused.
If all Iranian weapons are as "effective" as these Muhajirs, then it becomes clear why Iran is experiencing a real catastrophe under aerial bombardment![]()
Except we have footage of Ukraine using them far beyond "the very beginning of the war in Ukraine".Iran is facing 700 aircraft, a navy, and satellite reconnaissance. Despite this, it's still holding up quite well.
Putin couldn't have asked for Bayraktiar drones because they were all shot down at the very beginning of the war in Ukraine. After that, Ukraine stopped using them, as was reported. You've twisted the facts. Most of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack drones, which Ukraine relied on as a "weapon of victory," were shot down by the Russian military a year after the fighting began. This was reported by Business Insider.
Nope, just one part of the system that stopped the Russian advances on its track. They are only one of the reasons why Russians are stuck in the east 4 years later.which Ukraine relied on as a "weapon of victory,"
In fact, looking back, not a single weapon that Ukraine counted on enabled it to win. It's not the weapons that win, it's the people who win.

But how? Trump claims since 4 weeks ago that Iran's navy, airforce, anti air etc... is completely destroyed and non existant.Iran's air defense forces released new footage of the downing of two American MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance UAVs near Isfahan. As of April 3, Iran's air defense forces have shot down 17 MQ-9 Reaper UAVs. Experts estimate the cost of each MQ-9 Reaper UAV at approximately $30 million.
