U.S. military rescue operation results in loss of C-130J transport aircraft, shattered by explosion, drawing attention

The U.S. side said the second pilot has already been rescued and arrived in Kuwait.

Now there is video evidence showing that the U.S. indeed lost a C-130J transport aircraft during the rescue operation, reduced to rubble by an explosion. According to U.S. military statements, they deliberately destroyed two aircraft themselves. Based on the U.S. search and rescue operations, it is highly likely that a specialized HC-130J search and rescue plane was involved.

The cost paid by the U.S. military for this rescue was too high—it's a typical "Seven Little Immortals rescuing their grandfather" style operation. This also suggests that if the U.S. were to launch ground warfare, the prospects would be grim.
