BasedF-15Pilot 🇺🇸

@2ray_degenemax We like Japanese cars, too.

一般人との会話、マジで話す事ないから旅行とかグルメの話で頑張って話繋いでる。あいつらマジで何の話題なら喜ぶの....？ 一方でXのアメリカ人との会話は銃、アメ車、映画、食べ物、その他諸々と話題が多すぎて逆に終わらせるタイミングが見えない。もうずっとこの話だけしていたい。

@IsaiahLCarter After all the unqualified crying, stocks of back have never soared so high. It's impressive.

War-Chief Hegseth is EXACTLY what you get when you put blue-collar grunts in positions long held by elite, credentialist, INCOMPETENT white-collar dorks. Which is why I support him as fervently as I do.

@CollinRugg When you can say Christ is King with your whole heart, you simply cannot lose.

NEW: The rescued F-15 crew member said “God is Good” over his radio after ejecting from the aircraft over Iran, according to Axios. Here are remarkable new details about the rescue, according to Axios: - The rescued crew member is religious. - The crew member survived more than 24 hours in the mountains while wounded. - 200 soldiers from special operations units participated in the rescue. - The F-15 was shot down with a shoulder-fired missile. - “Thousands of these savages were hunting him down,” Trump said. - The officer hid in a crevice in the mountain and was found thanks to U.S. technology. - The officer said “God is good” after ejecting. - “The two crew members were spread apart by a couple miles. Hundreds of IRGC soldiers were everywhere,” a defense official said. “The C.I.A. initiated a deception campaign to try to confuse Iranian forces, and convince them the airman had already been rescued and was moving out of the country in a ground convoy,” the NYT reported. The airman reportedly evaded Iranian forces by hiking up a 7,000-foot ridgeline. “U.S. attack aircraft dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys to keep them away from the area where the airman was hiding,” the NYT continued. “In a final twist after the weapons officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran.” “Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airman, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into Iranian hands.”

@Cait_Sith_co The Don Frye vs. Yoshihiro Takayama fight is a microcosm of this historical trauma. It was a battle between warriors, and only one could win. Don and Takayama-san are good friends today. Just like USA and Japan. @DonFryeFighter @dddydehg754wf

こちらのポストへのコメント欄、アメリカ人たちがかつての日本の勇猛さを褒めてくれているのを見ると、何か歴史的なトラウマが溶けていくような感じを受けますね。これはすごいことかもしれない。ありがとうございます

@joshiamitabhevo Why do people think a C-130 is just a cargo aircraft? If it can carry 60-70 troops, imagine all the other shit it can carry. We even made one variant an airborne pirate ship that lays down epic broadsides. No one copies our homework yet is always surprised.

Something about this F15 crew rescue doesn't add up. Why would one need C130s (carry 60-70 troops) for rescuing one or two aircrew and maybe a few troops whose helicopter got shot down during the rescue. It looks more like spl forces were in a temporary base with C130s etc. 1/3

@HomericFuturist Wrong. We'd use dogs. Evil Islamic hate bars the use of 4 legged homing devices.

American patriots would be hunting Chinese pilots the same way It’s an absurdity of modernity that your enemies have to be “evil” instead of just adversaries

@DlugajJuly @DD_Geopolitics I'm not gonna elaborate, but the C-130 wasn't there for the gas.

@DD_Geopolitics Well, if that was a rescue operation I would assume that the 130s were tankers to extend the range of the helicopters. So why on earth, if everything goes according to plan, would you ever land them in the first place? Why even land anything there at all? It was a fuck up.

🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 According to geolocation data, the WSO of the downed F-15E was evacuated via a remote agricultural airstrip roughly 50 km south of Isfahan. He was initially located on Mount Siyah in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, reportedly hiding in a crevice. U.S. recovery personnel later described landing in open terrain south of Isfahan. The straight-line distance between those points is at least 231 km—closer to 428 km by road. That implies the WSO was moved a considerable distance—potentially by helicopter—to an extraction point still roughly 400 km from the Kuwaiti border. One plausible platform for this would be an MH-6M “Little Bird” operated by the 160th SOAR. If accurate, this suggests a sustained U.S. air operation deep inside Iranian territory—potentially up to 400 km from the border—over a period of roughly 36 hours. That would include search and recovery, establishing a landing zone, relocating the pilot, and executing the final extraction, reportedly without losses. Taken at face value, this reflects poorly on Iranian response capabilities. Resistance appears to have been limited to small-arms fire from local militias and Basij units, pointing to gaps not only in air defense coverage but also in coordination and access to systems like MANPADS. ☝️That said—tinfoil hat moment— Given that the Isfahan area hosts sensitive nuclear infrastructure long associated with uranium conversion and research, it’s worth asking whether the operation had secondary objectives beyond personnel recovery—or whether the CSAR mission itself was simply an unplanned component of a broader operation. And if the official account is accurate, it sets a troubling precedent for Iran: the U.S. appears capable of conducting extended operations deep inside Iran while openly signaling interest in securing its enriched uranium.

@MCCCANM Slinky (for the uninformed, ejections seats are unkind to human vertebrae)

Rumor only, but rumor on the street is the pilot rescued Friday is one of the same pilots who was shot down by Kuwait a few weeks ago. If true, probably going to get an epic new callsign.

@thetrashtoad @__Injaneb96 We can perform combat operations without declaring war. The inability to distinguish war from a combat operation is acute dumbfuckery.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

@thedelphivision Using the internet was not part of the SERE syllabus, but some of us managed to find our way here.

Impressed by how many of you on this website graduated from SERE school.

@Maguro_Maznaga It's true.

イラン領内で撃墜されたF-15のパイロット2名を死傷者0で無事に救出………？ なんだかちょっと信じられない話ね。事実みたいだけど

@ImMeme0 He sits to piss guaranteed.

This is the wanker who wrote that article.

@JeffFisch We don't think in that math. We think in this math: What if that was me alone on that shithole mountain? There is a family that is in danger of losing a father, brother, husband, and son. To Americans, that math justifies the net loss in metal and rivets.

Pop quiz: How long does it take to train a WSO? Now… how long does it take to replace 3 aircraft. Do. The. Math.

@Shadzey1 @Arrogance_0024 They don't get it. I don't get why they don't get it.

@Arrogance_0024 Doing it all for one man is the point you fucking dipshit

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@ahmadslmanx Your unwavering disbelief is a tactical advantage. For us.

Who believes the U.S. bombed those planes? Were 3 planes malfunctioning? I never believe the United States.

@BlackDumpling Every big dicked motherfucker on that mission volunteered I guarantee it. I understand that it's difficult for non-Americans and leftists to understand why Americans do this. I can just say that we do and we're not sorry about the wrecked shit or the what if scenarios.

両国の人々の理解を深めるため、1つの画像を例に挙げてお話しします。これは欧州の新聞の見出しです。「トランプの勇敢な作戦、イランに取り残された米空軍兵士の救出はほぼ失敗し、何十人ものアメリカ人の命を危険にさらした」といった内容です。 アメリカ人から見ると、これは私たちの勝利を祝うのではなく、私たちの失敗を夢想しているように感じられます。 事実として、それは正しい部分もあります。もし救出作戦が失敗していれば、何十人ものアメリカ人の命が失われ、数百万ドルの装備が無駄になっていた可能性は確かにありました。しかし、私たちは失敗しませんでした。確かに多額の費用はかかりましたが、私たちは自らの兵士を無事に救出しました。その兵士は、捕らえられていれば間違いなく拷問され処刑されるか、あるいは単なる駒として利用され、国民の前で画面に映し出された後、言葉にできないような残虐な目に遭わされていたでしょう。 今、彼らはもうそれができなくなりました。私たちがそれを阻止したのです。 しかし、欧州の人々は同盟国のこの勝利を祝うどころか、私たちが負けていたらどうなっていたかを夢想しているのです。そんな態度が、本当に同盟国に見えますか？　本当に友人に見えますか？ アメリカ人は、こうした欧州からの例を日常的に目にします。個人レベルでも、政策レベルでもそうです。例えば最近では、欧州がイランと秘密裏に取引をし、イラン産の石油を欧州に流入させる代わりに、アメリカ人が欧州の自国空軍基地を使用することを禁じるという疑惑が報じられています。 これは欧州に見られる一貫した傾向であり、アメリカ人が日本人をとても好きになる理由のひとつでもあります。日本は、文化的に、そして戦略的に、友人のように振る舞い、同盟国として振る舞います。一方、欧州は同盟国としてのあらゆる利益を受け取りながら、「私たちが失敗するのを夢想している」と私たちに伝えてくるのです。

Outrageously expensive... to you.

クッソ高い特殊作戦専用機を2機失ってでも航空機搭乗員1名を救出するのを厭わないのは如何にもアメリカらしい

@Schwalm5132 Material losses are immaterial when even 1 American life is in peril. At least in our war doctrine. Our domestic judicial doctrine is another story, but we're working on it.

European Countries: "Why would you throw away $300 Million in equipment to save one pilot?" America:

@okamisyousa Me too. I ❤️ Japanese twitter/x.

米軍の仲間は絶対見捨てない精神はマジパネェと思う

@ColbyBadhwar Islamists hating dogs = Self-imposed hard mode for finding and tracking people.🐕🤷‍♂️

Now that both the pilot & WSO are confirmed safe... A lot of people, both the usual grifting slop accounts and journos who should know better, were complaining that CENTCOM hadn't confirmed the loss of the F-15E. It would be malpractice for them to do that while CSAR for the crew was ongoing. You don't give the enemy intel, even if it's something you think they already know. You don't make it easier for them. At first all the reports were of a single seat F-35. You don't tell the enemy actually it was a two seat F-15E and there's two crew, not one, that you should be looking for. The public is not owed minute by minute updates on sensitive rescue operations. Transparency is good but it can't come at the expense of operational security.
