How stupid does one need to be after you lose a jet to order others in a Combat Active zone to send more to lose 2 A10, Lose 3 Blackhawks, Lose 2 Refueling Plane, 3 MQ Drones….Its Absolute Stupidity and Hubris…Send Hegseth…he will do some push-up!
The Iranian Regime is so accustomed to being decimated that when it gets one it's a celebration. 😂
70,000+ Bombing runs
A handful of F-15s downed.
3 of them, by friendly defenses in a different region.
1-2 by Iran.
And NO CASUALTIES.
Even better, the only ones shot down by Iran. The pilots were sheltered by the Iranian people till they were rescued.
The pathetic Regime so desperate they tried to put a bounty and STILL failed. Because wanting change and freedom means more to then than temporary money.
Those 2 jets, out of a fleet of thousands?
Thats a good deal. Would you take that deal? Damn good deal. 😂
People talking about jet imagine the pilot who is dead and his family all because his president wants war for nothing
Not a single US citizen in the history of the United States pledged allegiance to Israel.
Mogadishu… All over again
That means there’s one missing. That is dreadful under the Trump administration because Donald Trump has already told people that he likes people who did didn’t get caught. So this guy better not get caught or he’s going be classified as one of Donald suckers or losers.
F-15 downed in Iran, now trump must face a John McCain moment regarding the crew.

Where is the rescued pilot?
Lies😂😂
Trump supports torture of prisoners.
…this is a fake report…as of this time , the pilot/crew has NOT been found.
so 🇺🇸military inside iran openly saying it and seaching? credibility: 0%
See BS
Air superiority/dominance = LOL LOL LOL x 10,000
No one was rescued stop the lies and propaganda
Is claim as usual 🫵🏻🤣
Where is the part about the rescue, I hate when the title is a false lead to the non-story. We knew the plane was shot down three hours ago, where is the crew?
8 civlians were hit and 95 "others", you mean the terrorists?
It was not shot down, it must be technical issues.
Didn't they already have a deal that Trump ignored?
There is no proof it was shot down.
chrump hates captured pilots remeber?
That's the first ever F15 shot down on a combat mission.
Even if the other crewmember was killed, Iran is going to claim they have them in captivity.
That shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, they’ve been posting AI videos for the last month
A LETTER FROM F-15 PILOT DOWNED IN IRAN My beloved family,
If you’re reading this, it means my wings carried me farther than my body could follow. I want you to know that my last breath was not fear, not regret, but a quiet remembering of you—your faces, your laughter, the way our home sounded when the world was gentle.
I did not fall because of anything you did or didn’t do. I fell because one man, far from the dust and danger, chose a war he would never have to bleed in. Kings have always done that—sent others to carry the weight of their decisions. I was one of the ones who carried it.
But hear me clearly: I was not lost. I was given.
Given to duty.
Given to the hope that someday leaders would choose wisdom over spectacle.
Given to the belief that protecting the innocent still matters.
When the sky around me turned to fire, I thought of you.
When the jet shuddered and the alarms screamed, I thought of you.
When the ground rushed up to meet me, I whispered your names like a prayer.
And then—silence.
A silence so soft it felt like being held. I am not in pain now. I am not afraid. I am not drifting alone in some cold corner of the universe. I am home in a way I never understood while I lived.
I watch over you the way I once watched my instruments—steady, alert, protective.
I see your tears, but I also see your strength.
I see the empty chair at the table, but I also see the love that fills the room anyway.
Please don’t let my story end with the sound of a jet falling from the sky.
Let it end with you living boldly, loving loudly, and refusing to let the world harden your heart.
Tell the kids I’m still their wingman.
Tell Mom I kept my promise—I came home, just not the way we imagined.
Tell the world that peace is not weakness, and war is not glory.
And tell yourselves this truth: I never stopped loving you, not even for a heartbeat.
Until we meet again in a sky with no borders,
Your son, your partner, your pilot,
—Now flying where no war can reach me.
