The U.S. military rescue force narrowly escaped Iran, successfully rescuing a pilot from a downed F-15E fighter jet
According to U.S. media reports, the U.S. military deployed hundreds of special operations forces personnel, along with aircraft, helicopters, and intelligence resources, to successfully rescue a pilot whose F-15E fighter jet had been shot down over Iran. The operation turned into a two-day "race against death," during which intense firefights occurred as U.S. forces raced to reach the pilot's location before Iranian troops could. Media reports stated that U.S. aircraft "dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys" to prevent them from approaching the area.
The operation took a dramatic turn at the end, when two U.S. transport planes became stranded inside Iran and were forced to be destroyed. Subsequently, the U.S. military dispatched other aircraft to complete the evacuation mission.
