Israel and Iran

BBC reporting F-15E shot down over Iran - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cgj0gn36px8t

"A search and rescue effort is under way for a downed US F-15 fighter jet in southern Iran, two sources confirmed to CBS News, the BBC's US news partner. It is not known how many crew members were on board. Debris of a downed aircraft that originally was posted to social media show wreckage consistent with that of an F-15E Strike Eagle.

Images posted on social media and verified by CBS News showed a refuelling plane and two helicopters flying low over Khuzestan Province, consistent with a search and rescue mission."


The governor of Iran's southern Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province says that the priority is “capturing" any downed US crew "alive”.

“Those who succeed in capturing or killing hostile enemy forces will be specially commended by the Governor’s office," he adds, according to a report by semi-official ISNA news agency.

Meanwhile, Iranian outlets have said that a reward of 10 billion tomans (around £50,000) has been set by traders of the province for anyone who finds the American “intruder”.

I'm not sure if this counts as proof, but we offered a whole bunch of money for the heads of some IRGC leaders after the fact.

The Karbala attack was a pretty big deal. Way more intricate and aggressive than a lot of other stuff we saw from the locals. I was thinking Kataib Hezbollah, but even if it was them (and apparently it wasn't), that's still Iran behind it.

If the attackers spoke perfect English then it was Iranians. Nobody in Iraq spoke perfect English back then. Not even us soldiers...
 
Damn I would have thought their parachutes would bring them down close together. Two downed pilots together would of course be easier to recover.

I know 0 about parachuting or F-15 ejecting.

There's a bit of delay between the seats ejecting. It might be less than a second, but it's enough time to create some decent gap between the parachutes. Add in other factors like winds, bodyweight, if there is damage to the chute, etc, amd you can get some big distance between where you land.

If what you learn is UNCLASS and can share that would be great.

What is DUSTWUN? Nevermind, google helped me with this one.

I will when I can, I don't wanna lose my access and placement, but there are some things about this story that are going to blow your mind when they drop.

God bless the boys on this mission. They're going to crush it.
