US Military Rescues Missing F-15E Crew Member After Iran Shootdown
In a daring operation early Sunday, US forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15E jet shot down over a remote area of Iran. President Trump announced on social media that the highly respected colonel is now “safe and sound” and recovering from injuries. The search mission involved dozens of armed aircraft sent at the president’s direction. The pilot ejected and was recovered by military helicopters on Friday, but the weapons systems officer remained missing until today’s extraction. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed responsibility for the strike, and analysts say images of the wreckage matched an American F-15. During Friday’s recovery efforts, US helicopters and an A-10 Warthog came under fire, though all crew members were ultimately brought home safely.
