How did Iran Claim to Down Multiple US Jets in 24 Hours? Here’s What We Know About the Technology
Reports from US media indicate that an F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iranian territory. The aircraft, which carries two crew members, saw one individual rescued, while efforts are ongoing to locate the second. Around the same time, an A-10 Thunderbolt II, widely known for its durability and close air support role was also reportedly hit. The pilot managed to eject safely and was later recovered. There are additional claims that a Black Hawk helicopter involved in rescue operations may have been downed, and that an F-16CJ aircraft was also targeted during the same operational window.
