Donald Trump on the details of the rescue mission for the crew of the F-15 fighter
“Within a few hours, our armed forces sent 21 military aircraft into hostile airspace, many of them flying at very low altitudes,” he said.
The US president revealed that 155 aircraft were used in the second rescue mission, including four bombers, 64 fighters, 48 air tankers and 13 rescue planes. At the same time, he emphasized that the pilot had avoided capture on Iranian territory for 48 hours.
He added that the F-15 fighter “was the first manned aircraft shot down by the enemy in this entire operation.” “They were lucky, it was a lucky break,” he said. He also noted that since the outbreak of the war on February 28, the United States had carried out over 10,000 combat sorties over Iran. “It's unheard of,” he said.
“God took care of us,” he emphasized, drawing attention to the dangerous area where the American military carried out a rescue mission.
More information soon.
