Or even send a drone or something.

I'm kinda confused: why didn't Iran fly out to where they knew the pilot was? Why were they searching for him on foot?

@immrwatcher How do you feel about the Judeo-Protestant alliance?

Glad to see this.

I congratulate @realDonaldTrump on the rescue of a brave American pilot by America’s courageous warriors. All Israelis rejoice in this remarkable operation. It proves that when free societies act with courage and determination, they can overcome the forces of darkness and terror. This operation reinforces a sacred principle: no one is left behind. As someone who was wounded in such a mission and lost my brother in the Entebbe rescue, I know what a bold decision this was. My dear friend, once again your leadership brought a great victory to America. I salute you. We all do.

الولايات المتحدة تنتهك سيادة إيران وكرامتها وشرفها وأرضها من أجل جُندي واحد.
دولة لم تستطع أسر جندي في أرضها. لهي دولة هشة. وسيبقى هذا الإنقاذ باقيا في الذاكرة العسكرية.

The first 30 minutes after you hit the ground are vital, you will never be as fresh and healthy as at that moment. If you run 1 linear mile, the enemy must search 3.14 square miles. If you run 3 miles, then the enemy has to cover 28.27 square miles. 5 miles = 78.54 square miles.

He climbed a ridge. That is where the story turns. When the F-15E was hit on Friday morning, both crew members ejected over the mountains of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province in southwestern Iran. The pilot was located first and extracted by HH-60 rescue helicopters within hours, under small arms fire that wounded crew aboard the recovery aircraft. The weapons systems officer landed deeper in hostile terrain. He was alone on the ground in a country where state television was broadcasting a bounty for his capture and Basij militia were flooding the mountain roads below. According to reports now confirmed by Fox News citing two senior US officials, the WSO used his SERE training, the survival, evasion, resistance, and escape doctrine drilled into every American combat aircrew. He moved on foot through rugged terrain. He climbed to an elevated ridge near the city of Dehdasht. He activated his encrypted emergency beacon. And he waited. The beacon was the thread. Everything that followed pulled on it. US Joint Special Operations Command launched a night extraction package. Reports indicate Delta Force operators and Pararescuemen from the 24th Special Tactics Squadron inserted via helicopters from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, the Night Stalkers, the unit that flew the Bin Laden raid. A-10 Warthogs from the 355th Wing provided close air support, running gun passes on IRGC and Basij convoys advancing toward the WSO’s position. HC-130J tankers kept the package airborne. Multiple aircraft were dispatched to establish a temporary fire zone around Dehdasht, a no-entry perimeter enforced with precision strikes on a telecommunications tower and approaching vehicles. Iranian local officials reported at least four killed and several wounded from the strikes. Then the operation went sideways. According to reports corroborated by Fox News’s confirmation that US forces destroyed “aircraft which have sensitive equipment,” two C-130 transports landed at a remote forward arming and refuelling point inside Iran to support the extraction. Both became stuck. Rather than allow the aircraft and their classified systems to fall into IRGC hands, American forces destroyed both planes on the ground. The deliberate destruction of two US military aircraft inside Iran to deny equipment to the enemy is the detail that separates a clean extraction from an operation that nearly failed before it succeeded. Additional transports arrived under A-10 cover. The Delta operators and Pararescuemen who were now themselves stranded at the destroyed landing zone loaded the WSO and extracted under ongoing fire. Fox News reported that the WSO “and the members of the rescue team are all safely out of Iran.” Zero American casualties. Desert One in 1980 ended when a helicopter collided with a C-130 on a remote Iranian airstrip, killing eight Americans before the mission reached Tehran. Forty-six years later, C-130s were destroyed on Iranian soil again. This time the destruction was deliberate. This time the team got out. This time the man they came for came with them. The operation confirms two truths that cannot be separated. American special operations forces can penetrate, fight inside, and extract from Iran. And the war that was supposed to be over required the most elite soldiers in the US military to fight a ground battle in Iranian mountains to recover one man from a country with no air defences. Both statements are true. The rescue proves American capability. The need for the rescue proves Iranian capability. And the 48-hour countdown is still running. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Entre la capture de Maduro, l’élimination de Khamenei et maintenant ça, Trump a fourni de quoi faire trois très bon films.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Le copilot du F-15 🇺🇸 abattu a été secouru dans une intense opération au sol et dans les airs Il a pu être repéré par des forces spéciales 🇺🇸 qui l’ont évacué vers une ancienne base aérienne iranienne C’est à partir de là que c’est devenu “compliqué” 1/3

One of the most incredible rescue missions in history.

This is literally what Trump just told you. The US flew in, built a secret US base, landed 2 C130s ran 35 miles to a distant mountain, rescued a severely injured pilot from the mountain travelling 35 miles back by foot across open plain, while engaged in massive night time fire fight. Tried to take off in 2 c130s that got stuck in airport. Kept battling until more troops came and took them away, then blew up the C130s in air.

The US rescued a downed fighter pilot in hostile territory while simultaneously sending astronauts to the moon.
One air frame loss per 12,000 combat sorties and they immediately found and rescued the guy while sending astronauts to space.

The IRGC threw everything it had at the rescue team, and it still wasn't enough. Demoralized doesn't even begin to describe what they're going through right now.

US special forces conducted an operation 400km into the interior of Iran to save a pilot yesterday night, just incredible.

The foreign mind can't comprehend what a competent military looks like.

Two U.S aircrafts get stuck then send further aircrafts to blow up the stuck aircrafts, all while protecting a very critically injured service member and trying to get multiple others out. Not buying it, something is off. This is all made up. They be scripting this for hours.

JUST IN - Democratic Republic of Congo to receive third-country nationals deported from the U.S. under a new deal with the Trump administration.

An American is obviously worth all that. But if you feel you're not I certainly won't disagree.

One of the most amazing military operations ever. Congratulations to everyone whose skill and bravery made it possible. God bless you all and Happy Easter!

This is the Easter miracle I was praying for today. Pilot, WSO rescued and all rescue operators safely out of Iran. What an extraordinary mission behind enemy lines. Shot down in Good Friday rescued on Easter. You couldn't ask for anything more perfect. Happy Easter all.
