This looks like Operation Eagle Claw. The failed mission in 1980. What a total disaster. |

Here’s the best description of the pilot’s extraction I’ve read. Fascinating operation:

CONFIRMED: ABC NEWS source
4 MH-6 helicopters & 2 C-130s were destroyed after being abandoned during Iran rescue operations. Also 2 MQ-9 Reapers also shot down. |
That is truly unbelievable. Glad he got out and there were no other causalities |
This is an embarrassment. Our military is being led by a clown, who will likely kill more Americans. |
A pretty timely case study on why a ground invasion needs to be avoided. It'd be disastrous with US ground force troops devastated (MUCH harder to attack than defend). |
MSM is reporting this as a "fiery threat", rather than obscene or unhinged rant! |

Yeah, he is matching Petey's energy every time Petey stands in front of the military community and spouts his lethality, scorched earth, no longer following rules of engagement, fat-shaming crap. |
That’s prob the point. Wipe out Christian kids via cannon fodder. |
What a disaster. Looks like the US shut down another operation that was on going to “rescue” the pilots. The f-15 was shot down in Boyer-Ahmad provinces and the makeshift air field use was in Isfahan Province. About 175-200 miles distant and deeper in to Iran. It would have been easier to fly in from bases out side of Iran. It does not make sense. |
Who knows? The only thing released by DOD is a fake picture with some guy holding an American flag. The interesting thing is the back seat guy was a Colonel or captain in navy(o-6 senior field-grade officer). Most back seaters are really young and low rank like Lt(0-1or2) or Captain(0-3). Maybe the US military really could not let a senior commander with operational knowledge fall in to the hands of the Iranians? There is a rumors that it was an o-6 from the IDF. Really embarrassing to shoot down an American F-15 and find a senior Israel in command of the mission and in command of Americans. Just a rumor but it seems to be gaining traction. Yipes. Something is not right but given the people in command it could just be incompetence. |
The DoD actually released that picture? It was very obvious AI. |
The picture has been scrubbed off the internet. Jeff even scrubbed it off the thread. |
That picture was A.I.-generated which is why I removed it. I will remove anything that I think was created by A.I. and am willing to even sacrifice a few false positives if necessary. I detest A.I.-generated content. Thumbs up to the DCUM poster who identified the photo as A.I. almost immediately. |
