US Launches Air Armada in Iran to Rescue F-15 Crew
The US military has launched an “air armada” operation in Iran to rescue a crew member of a downed F-15 fighter jet. According to reports, the mission involved multiple aircraft and personnel.
Details of the operation are still emerging, but it is confirmed that two planes were destroyed during the rescue effort. The incident occurred when the US military set up an airfield inside Iran to facilitate the rescue operation.
The CIA has been credited with locating the downed airman in Iran. President Trump praised the agency’s efforts, stating that finding the airman was like “finding a needle in a haystack.”
The US military has also conducted training exercises for Marines on building temporary airfields, which were used during the rescue operation.
The exact details of the rescue operation and its outcome are not yet publicly available.
