U.S. Commandos Landed In Iran And Penetrated Deep Inside The Country

The first details of the rescue of the pilot of the downed F-15 have become known.

The first details of a special operation to rescue an American pilot on the territory of Iran have appeared in the press, The Telegraph reports. According to the CBS television channel, the US military had to destroy two of its planes at once to prevent them from reaching the enemy.

According to the channel, two transport planes were used in the rescue operation but failed to leave a temporary site on Iranian territory. As a result, the Americans themselves destroyed them on the spot.

The rest of the operation, according to media reports, was accompanied by airstrikes and cover using drones.

According to a U.S. official who spoke to Al Jazeera, U.S. troops surrounded and approached the location of the pilot, who had been hiding from Iranian forces for two days. A firefight then ensued. All of this happened in broad daylight.

In turn, the New York Times reports that the U.S. Air Force officer whose fighter jet was shot down in Iran on Friday was rescued by U.S. special operations forces, during which American commandos penetrated deep into Iranian territory.

According to the Times, the downed pilot had only a pistol on him for self-defense. And the operation involved hundreds of troops and dozens of U.S. combat aircraft and helicopters.

According to Reuters, U.S. MQ Reaper drones (a series of unmanned aerial vehicles) targeted Iranian search teams that were approaching the pilot.

Trump earlier said the operation was without casualties and called it "one of the most daring search and rescue operations in U.S. history."

Trump said the U.S. military had been tracking the whereabouts of the officer pilot, who happens to be a colonel, around the clock and had "carefully planned his rescue."

"The U.S. military sent dozens of planes armed with the world's deadliest weapons to retrieve him," Trump said. - He's been injured, but he's going to be OK."
