Forty Pentagon lies: numerous craters and bullet holes prove the U.S. C-130 was ambushed by Iran!

Knife Brother believes the U.S. Pentagon's account no longer holds water. On-site evidence is gradually revealing more details. Iran's Tasnim News Agency released photos, and the Revolutionary Guard publicly disclosed video footage. The visuals point to one conclusion: the U.S. C-130 transport aircraft was first hit, then self-destructed.

Media outlets such as The New York Times cited Pentagon statements claiming the plane was stranded due to "mechanical failure," and that the U.S. military destroyed it to prevent intelligence leaks. These two narratives are diametrically opposed. On-site photos show the incident occurred in a hard, rugged desert terrain—flat ground with no soft sand. As a heavy transport aircraft, the C-130’s landing gear was designed to handle primitive runways. The claim of it being "stuck in the sand" contradicts basic aviation common sense.

The key evidence lies in the wreckage itself. Multiple on-site photos clearly show the C-130’s fuselage riddled with holes. The edges of these holes display torn metal patterns—characteristic of high-speed fragments piercing through. Scattered around the fuselage are several small craters, whose shapes match the explosion patterns of mortars or similar ordnance. It is highly unlikely that U.S. military temporary outposts deep inside Iran would carry such weapons.

The only plausible explanation is that the attacks originated from Iranian ground fire. Furthermore, some photos show the C-130’s propeller blades bent outward—indicating the engine was still running at the moment of impact or explosion. This suggests the aircraft was not parked statically but was attempting to taxi when attacked.

Knife Brother concludes that the C-130 transport aircraft was ambushed by Iranian air defense forces while flying at low altitude or on the ground. The fuselage sustained hits, critical systems were damaged, and it lost the ability to take off. Before evacuating, U.S. special forces executed the standard "self-destruct protocol" to prevent sensitive electronic warfare equipment, encrypted communication modules, and other core secrets from falling into Iranian hands. This explains why the aircraft ultimately exploded into pieces. However, "self-destruction" was the consequence, not the cause—the real cause was the prior attack.
