SHOT

I wonder who actually shot down the F-15, since it couldn’t have possibly been Iran. Their capabilities are destroyed. He said so.

In the last 24 hours: A-10 has been shot down F15, downed 2 helicopters dispatched to rescue the F15 pilot and weapons operator Those 2 helicopters also got downed. The weapons operator is still missing. Two KC-135 stratotankers broadcasted emergency signals.

> shot by the defence systems of the Army Air Defence Force But, but Mango said all the air defenses were destroyed?!

Wow they shot down a warthog geez

>Iran's state TV is reporting that "an American A10 aircraft was shot by the defence systems of the Army Air Defence Force and crashed in the Persian Gulf in southern Iran", citing the Iranian Army. >It adds that it was shot down hours ago around the Strait of Hormuz. >It's not clear if this is the same A-10 Warthog that CBS reports was hit during the search and rescue effort for the F-15E. The f-15 went down in western Iran, the A-10 near Hormuz. That's like 500 miles apart - surely it can't have been involved in the S&R and there must be two down? Or someone is very confused about which bit of Iran is which.

Sometimes multiple aircraft get shot down during excursions, it’s not a war!

"We destroyed all the mine droppers, trust us." All the while planes getting shot down left and right.

One plane shot down out of 10,000 sorties is extremely fucking amazing

This is what happens when your new generals who believe the propaganda about "Iran having no air force" send in low flying slow planes like the A-10 to get shot down by a MANPAD costing less than a Toyota Camry.

No ceasefire and a couple planes shot down. Possible missing pilot. Yeah. Straight green arrows!

Weekend drinking game... Drink every time: * A plane gets shot down * The war is announced as 'won' * A general is fired * "Iran wants to make a deal" * "2-3 weeks more"

A-10 shot down in the Epstein Strait

Trump refuses to discuss details of search and rescue operations in Iran after a US drone was shot down - NBC News uh huh

At least four US planes apparently shot down or "crashed over Persian Gulf" today, cost $230 million. No wonder US talking about $1.5 trillion defence budget.

U.S. shot their own planes down to create a false image to be able to have an excuse to create a military operation on Iranian soil.

Is this what winning looks like? According to The New York Times, citing two U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operational matters, in addition to the F-15E Strike Eagle shot down earlier today over Southern Iran, a U.S. Air Force A-10C Thunderbolt II went down near the Strait of Hormuz about the same time that the F-15E was downed over Iran. The A-10C’s lone pilot was safely rescued and is receiving medical attention in a Gulf Nation.

Shot down an A-10, and Iran refused a 48 hr ceasefire sounds like peace talks going well

A rescue helicopter also shot down Edit: Oh nvm, a second plane indeed was shot down and it was an A-10. The rescue helicopter was shot and damaged, status unknown

"US search helicopter ‘lands safely’ after it was hit in Iran We reported earlier that a US helicopter, on a search mission for the jet reportedly shot down in Iran, was also hit by a projectile, according to Iran’s Mehr news agency. US media outlet Newsmax is now reporting, citing US sources, that it was a Black Hawk helicopter that was hit, and it managed to leave Iranian airspace and land safely." Al Jiz

Seeing as how this one got shot down by a country that supposedly has no air force, I think it makes sense why it is being retired. Some 18 year old with a MANPAD took it down for pennies on the dollar. But point taken.

If he still had the beard he’d have a shot

new engine that is likely heavier and weighs it down? you are defending this after it got shot down? it's a 4th gen aircraft, the only advantage it has is higher payloads which weights it down even further.

They shot down one of our 40 year old jets and didn’t even kill the pilots

Real talk, all political/ethical/economic/military opinions aside, if you get shot down in enemy territory in the middle of a desert and you run and hide through the desert until the U.S. military miraculous finds you, you should get to go home, retire, and immediately receive your military pension for life.

lol I guess the admin couldn't say they were in negotiations while their birds are being shot out of the sky

Brent oil above $140. Rough estimates about 20% of the normal Middle East oil capacity has been damaged in attacks. So even if the straight opened up tomorrow about 20% of the capacity wouldn’t be able to come back online until 6 months to 1 year. I think we will be seeing crude stay above $100+ at least until sometime next year. The economy’s been shot investors just don’t realize it’s dead yet.

Pilots shot down in Iran. Chat is this what they mean by boots on the ground

some plane getting shot is actually bullish af watch monday

You guys bearish for the wrong reason Some plane getting shot ain’t gonna move markets. Ceasefire failing? Yupp

I thought it was just "hit by projectile" not actually "shot down"? Also, confirmation on co-pilot capture? Obv he's fucked, but he could still be hiding in a dumpster somewhere

nah. its our pilots getting shot down. not theirs. theyre gonna keep dragging us down this sewer pipe

US helicopter shot down. Was part of rescue team. Co pilot of F15E was captured

it was an F-15 shot down by "impotent" iran

Jenzen-Jones said the images do not prove the aircraft was shot down, only that it crashed. You Yankees love cope huh?

wait what??? Iran got a rescue helo shot down too?

1/2. Also Iran saying they shot down a rescue chopper.

🥭: "We have air superiority. Obliterated all their defense" *The Next Day.....* "American plane shot down over Iran. Authorities searching for crew"

Dude has a point. If you claim Iran has no air power or defense, and a plane gets shot down, what is the US to think?

One crew member has been rescued and the search continues for the second pilot after a U.S. F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran, according to reports. The crew member was rescued by US forces, two US officials have told CBS News. Two sources tell CNN that the rescued pilot is alive and receiving medical attention. Officials say one of the pilots of the F-15E Strike Eagle was ejected before the aircraft went down. U.S. officials are racing to recover the second pilot before Iranian forces can reach them. Social media footage showed American drones, aircraft and helicopters flying over the mountainous region.

If the pilot was on the helicopter that got shot down, the poor guy was shot down twice in space of like an hour

when is TACO going to address the plain that has been shot down

puts on BA F-15 got shot down by Iran

Depending on how everything shakes out with a jet and rumors of the helicopter being shot down and ground fighting in Iran

Incompetent? They shot down a jet that will cost 94mil to replace. Under estimating an enemy is always a mistake.

BREAKING: Iranian media is reporting that a US helicopter, on a search mission for the jet reportedly shot down in Iran, was also hit by a projectile.

1 plane. 2 airmen. Iran says they also shot down a rescue heli - unconfirmed

How many planes was shot down and how many pilots are missing?

yes, they are, to the point where you would think any scenario involving a US helicopter getting shot down in their territory guarantee that the US were the good guys somehow, we found a way to also be the bad guys

So they rescued him then got shot down? Wtf

"US search helicopter also hit by projectile in Iran Iran’s Mehr news agency is reporting that a US helicopter, on a search mission for the jet reportedly shot down in Iran" IRAN'S MEHR NEWS AGENCY IS REPORTING. Anyone else, Qatar or otherwise is just using them as a source until you hear that US has confirmed or other confirmation. We really need to teach media literacy. Fuck
