Morning, all,

Donald Tantrump is an imbecile who pathologically has to project any setback as a victory, and a personal one at that.

So naturally Desperate Don calls a rescued USAF airman an American Hero not one of the "suckers and losers" he normally insults.

F-15E Pilot Rescued In Iran in Huge Operation: Two C-130 Hercules & Little Bird Destroyed

YouTube

The rescue of the USAF airman shot down in Iran (by an SA-6, a Soviet-era SAM almost as old as #Trump) cost the lives of nine Iranians KIA; lost two Reaper UAVs shot down by Iran and saw four irreplaceable airframes (2x HC-130 Hercules; 2x Little Bird helos bombed by USAF B-1Bs to deny them to the enemy) but allowed Desperate Don to present the airlifted USAF F-15 Strike Eagle WSO as an American hero.

@PhilipCJames will we ever find out what really went off?? A failed covert action to steal Iran's nuclear materials for example ???

@Robbins Wot? The Hercules were ferrying a tunnelling machine planned to dig 100s of metres deep to the enriched U-235 entombed by his bigly bunker buster bombs?

#Sarcasticon

Of course, if the U-235 wasn't buried deep then that would imply Donald Tantrump's "obliterated" claim last year was false, but it's well known the Dearest Leader never lies...

#Sarcasticon (again)

USA takes CSAR seriously; personally #Trump would've let the loser aircrew dangle from their 'chutes, but he needed a win.

@PhilipCJames
Of course! Silly me !

Of course not! Not silly you, @Robbins !

Even the august Aunty, the venerable Beeb, is indulging in conspiracy-theory grade wild speculation:

But it's ill-informed and specious.

So there were holes in the remains of the destroyed Hercules - that doesn't mean they took Iranian fire; 1000 lb bombs produce a lotta shrapnel and the USAF claims they destroyed their four a/c not with satchel charges but with 40 such bombs dropped by two B-1Bs. ๐Ÿงต

Was a secret US mission behind the F-15E jet downed in Iran? | The Security Brief

Nor does the question posed by the #BBC merit the implications Aunty assigns it:

Why was the F-15E operating so deep inside Iran?

Cos that's where the targets are;

Iran would be stupid to put them on the coast. That the Yanks were after alleged U-235 stockpiles is An Inference Too Far.

Also, Forward Operating Base (FOB) suggests persistence. It was a FARP - a single-mission Fueling And Rearming Point.
