What Search and Rescue Operations Over Iran Reveal In the last few hours, at least one A-10, two helicopters, one C-130, and one RQ-9 drone were spotted flying with relative freedom over an Iranian province. These are five much easier targets to shoot down than an F-15. Yet none of them were engaged. And that wasn’t by accident, it was a deliberate choice by Iran, which apparently has no intention of escalating the anti-air war against this type of target in corridors leading into the country’s interior. This reminds me of a famous phrase from the Iran-Iraq War: “Iran lets them in.” Iran truly seems to be inviting a ground operation on its territory, and it appears very confident about it. Another important point is the footage of armed members of Iranian tribes firing rifles at long range toward American helicopters. They posed no real threat, but the scenes clearly show a strong sense of unity and fighting spirit even in the most remote regions. That is an extremely significant factor when assessing the real dangers of a ground invasion.
