Grounding after interception; Iran's account of the heavy losses from the U.S. rescue operation Sepah News in response to the U.S. F-15 fighter pilot's interview with CBS: 🔹Two special operations MC-130J aircraft were identified after entering deep into Iranian territory and were damaged during the engagement, grounding on an unpaved runway. 🔹Several U.S. special operations helicopters were also damaged or were unable to escape, and the U.S. forces destroyed leftover equipment to prevent their technology from falling into Iran's hands. 🔹The focus of U.S. media on the rescue of the crew seems to be an attempt to downplay the downing of F-15E with callsign DUDE 44. 🔹The wounding of several American officers and the destruction of two Hercules and several Little Birds, along with one Black Hawk and one A10 fighter, as well as several drones from the MQ9-MQ1 series are also part of this scenario. 🔹Washington is trying to turn a costly combat defeat into a story of "we leave no one behind" to distract public opinion with the heroization of the crew and rescue team instead of answering how DUDE 44 was discovered and downed.
