one of the HH-60W CSAR helicopters involved in rescuing a crew member of the shot-down U.S. Air Force F-15E of the 494th Fighter Squadron was targeted and fired upon by a MANPADS while inside Iran. All crew members survived and were successfully rescued.

Additionally, one of the A-10C+ Thunderbolt II aircraft involved in the RESCAP (rescue combat air patrol) mission was also engaged by a MANPADS. The aircraft survived the engagement and returned safely to its base in Jordan with minor damage to its vertical stabilizer and rudder.

The emergence of amplified morons on social media and AI has lead to so much nonsense being spread. A lot of "The IRGC claims..." when the IRGC itself never actually did, though they're not going to contradict posts claiming they've achieved victories either.
Unless an actual official Iranian outlet makes a claim, I'm pretty quick to ignore it. Because it's overwhelmingly clear which side is rushing to crate & post insane amounts of bullshit and spread the claims to as many sites/boards as they can. It's not usually the Iranians themselves, it's anti-west/US shills and contrarians.

I was promised that the US will collapse, Israel will be destroyed and that the strait will be closed forever. When will it happen? In two weeks?

Wait I don’t get it can someone high IQ here fill me in:

If Iran have the tech to shoot down F15’s, A10’s and F35’s, why can black hawks and C130’s circle around in their air space at the same time without getting shot down?

Is it because they’re trying to be stealthy with their infrared heat seeking SAMs so they only use it once then hide?

Or is it because the heat seeking infrared Anti Air is located somewhere different than where the rescue mission is? But how does that make sense if the pilots ejected there? And how would the USAF know for sure?

I’m confused as a brainlet

It's was childish crap pushed by Sec Kegsbreath, the entire style of it. Any previous war would have just been:
>An F-15 was indeed shot down over southern Iran. We are devoting all efforts to recovering both pilots asap, and will review the incident for any lessons to learn. But this is war and sometimes even the worst enemies will get lucky. America never shies from even harsh truths and getting better, that's part of what separates us from authoritarian countries and the freedom and values we fight for.

>>65041072
What don't you get? If some country has the tech to fling AA at fighters and get lucky once in a thousand times, then if you fly a few thousand sorties you expect to eventually roll snake eyes. Like, stealth and ECM and good intel and so on aren't magical force fields. When we first used stealth bombers over Iraq and revealed that to the world all the way back in the first Gulf War, the Iraqis literally couldn't see them on radar at all, couldn't see them visually (since it was dark), they could hear them and knew they were there. So all they could do was blindly fire into the sky. And it did jack shit. But it's not because the F-117 was made of invincible adamantium, just insanely low chance that a rando unaimed round would happen to intersect their tiny tiny chunk of sky at the right time. But at the same time if by sheer bad luck they had eaten AA, well it would have worked. Doesn't mean they had some super tech.
>>
>>65041072
Quite possibly both. Depending on the damage you might not go down immediately and as the aircrew you'd have a vested interest in nursing that plane as far away from Iranians as you can get it, both for your own immediate safety/SERE needs and also for the odds of CSAR being able to come get you.
They'd also probably have top priority on SEAD to make sure there's not a repeat attempt. The number one thing the US can't afford right now is an American airman, alive or dead, on Iranian state TV and they'll be moving heaven and earth to try and avoid it.

They just don't fly those planes in danger areas. They know where the Iranian launch sites are. They just sit less agile/stealthy targets outside their range. If they need them closer they have SEAD.
>>
>>65041072
They're getting hits off with MANPADS and light vehicle mounted IR missiles (T, etc.) on low-flying fighters acting in isolation. They don't have an effective integrated air defense network, but they do have a lot of individual units who have access to lightweight IR-guided missiles which are hard to detect before they fire. The threat level is not high but it does exist, especially when fighters are flying low to hunt targets. It's why they've been able to shoot down fighters but not larger, slower bombers that are flying high.

This threat is very short-ranged, so once a unit becomes visible by firing the zone can be suppressed.

Probably a combination of this, plus poor range, missile supply, and coordination means that they can’t shoot at every target they see.

Warfare boils down to concentration of force.
The US did not mobilize enough to saturate the entire country 24/7.
They absolutely retain enough airpower to temporarily dominate a particular grid square. Especially one relatively far from Iran's own, largely static, power centers.
Are these efforts inefficient/ detrimental to planned operations for the next few days? Perhaps, but it's a price their power structure demands.

How do these retards manage to get shot down anyway? I remember seeing one video a few days ago where an American jet somehow managed to dodge what appeared to be a MANPAD during what was supposedly a strafing run, and I don't believe Iran has anything left that could target American fighters or bombers at a high altitude or even at any kind of range. So how does this happen? Are the American pilots just being retarded faggots who fly too close to the ground so they can slap Iranians in the back of the head with their saggy ballsacks, or is there some other reason?
If the clip I saw of the shootdown is real, it was clearly flying at a dangerously low altitude, given that it was filmed in the first place.
>>
>>65041349
So much for muh Epstein Empire when pedos support Iran
>>
For a month of combat and the losses so far has been: two aircraft from enemy fire, three from "friendly fire", two tankers from midair accident, and some aircraft lost on the ground. All in all, it's not horrible.
Lessons need to be learned, sometimes at the unfortunate cost of equipment and lives, but Iraq was doing a lot more damage in 1991 (and that was after they came out of their war with Iran.) Whereas Iran had decades to build up their air defense network.

No, and that was the worst loss sustained so far in terms of strategic importance. I'm not denying that.
The US and other had enough evidence and time from observing Ukraine vs Russia to realize how vulnerable aircraft on the ground can be to drones that more defenses should have been in place.

Only one of the AN/TPY-2 was hit (jordan). Other THAAD sites were partially hit, but keep in mind it is a weapon system with multiple components (radar, laucnhers, command trucks) spread out over an area. The AN/TPY-2 is the expensive part of the THAAD system and only one of those was lost.

In the case of Jordan, it was a low altitude drone that hit it the radar, not a missile. THAAD is a high altitude missile defence system as its name implies, it cannot target drones. Other system are supposed to take care of those.

I wasn't implying that the THAADs were going to shoot down the drones, but I assumed a THAAD system would have layered protection due to their importance, rarity and price, which would include CIWS. Unless I'm wrong, even US bases in shitholes like Iraq and Afghanistan had CIWS, which were able to shoot down incoming mortar and artillery rounds. A done should not be a threat to a THAAD site.

There is years and years of testing, before production actually rolls out military-ready hardware.

Like you could read about the F-22 in 1990, popular mechanics covered the YF-22 vs YF-23 showdown for the future of American air superiority at a time when the NES was Americas top game console and the newly launched super mario 3 was the biggest game in the world, and the band AC/DC released their classic rock anthem "Thunderstruck".
The actual production F-22 didn't enter service until 2005 and first saw combat in 2014.

THAAD was similar, stuff like that moves extremely slowly from concept to trials, to deployment, to first combat testing.

A-10C Thunderbolt II — Shot down and crashed into the Persian Gulf. Pilot reportedly recovered.

HH-60G Pave Hawk — Hit during CSAR mission and crash-landed across the border in Iraq. Crew reportedly rescued.

Other incidents:

KC-135R Stratotanker — Emergency squawk 7700 around 10:00 UTC near Tel Aviv.

F-16CJ "Wild Weasel" (F-16C Block 50/52, SEAD configuration) — Emergency squawk 7700 over Saudi Arabia near the Iraqi border around 15:00 UTC; later disappeared from FlightRadar.

KC-135R Stratotanker — Emergency squawk 7700 around 19:00 UTC near Tel Aviv

Of course, that has nothing to do with anything that happened in the past decade and a half. Retards were painting the russians as strong and competent on forums back in the early 2000s.

In terms of air engagement that's near point blank range and they dump their mags on target(s). I'd be more surprised if none of those shots hit.
That said we see other videos of other Iranians taking shots at the choppers, too. None that close range, though.

>Giraffe 1X is an ideal air surveillance component in the Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) domain that provides ground based air defence commanders with engagement quality target data, drone detection and Counter-Artillery, Rocket and Mortar (C-RAM) sense and warn within a single solution.
Detection, sense, and warn. It's there to alert the C-RAM operators when they need to turn the system on, it's not there for fire control.

That video was first posted before the start of the war. There's reason to believe it's genuine, such as their attempt to hide the fact that the aircraft survived, but it can't be showing the event it's claimed to be. It's possibly an attempted shootdown of an F-35 from Midnight Hammer.

Both sides equally at fault there., if you are going to turn an IRGC naval command building into a school, within the compound of an active miltiary base, at least take down the old sign on the school building that said "IRGC naval command".
America used old intel so they are also partially at fault, but both sides kind of fucked that one up.

Iran knew the base would get lit up and moved those girls there when tensions first began to rise with Trump.

The building was separated from the IRGC compound like 10 years ago lmao. There was a clear wall separating the two and it's also on fucking Google Maps, I just checked.

I think that, much like the DoDEA, when you have a lot of soldiers living somewhere basically permanently, some of them will have kids who require schooling on or near the base while dad works.

With just how much trump and the republicans have ratfucked the American public and just announced the american people's suffering is about to get worse because the few things they still get are about to be taken away from them by the republicans to fund trump's war, which the public didn't want in the first place. The entire conservative controlled media could go full martyr mode for the pilot if it's found out the Iranians killed him and I'd give it a 50/50 chance the American people blame Iran or blame trump for the pilot's death.
Regardless, if the Iranians find the pilot first, they're going to absolutely take him alive and treat him well since it's a slam dunk propaganda move against Hegseth's 'No Quarters' talk.

Also Reuters is confirming the A-10 was indeed shot down, but it crashed in Kuwait, with both pilots ejecting safely.
