The Americans have recently lost a lot of aircraft, including evacuation A crew member of a downed F-15 fighter jet from Iranian territory. Meticulous Osinters discovered that two US Air Force aircraft, allegedly abandoned and blown up by the Americans themselves in Isfahan Province to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands, did not get stuck in the mud or break down, but collided while taxiing at a temporary landing strip.

An infographic was created based on a reconstruction of the events using photographs from the scene of the incident, which show the burned-out remains of two Lockheed MC-130J Commando II aircraft, based on the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, and at least two AH/MH-6J Little Bird helicopters belonging to the Special Operations Forces. The MC-130Js were carrying members of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), who landed on a gravel strip to rescue and extricate the weapon systems operator (WSO) of a downed U.S. Air Force F-15E fighter jet.



Details of the collision of two US Air Force planes in Iran have emerged.


The first aircraft successfully landed and stopped. However, the second aircraft, following behind, overshot the landing zone and crashed into a parked aircraft. The collision disabled both aircraft and rendered them unable to take off.

The planes couldn't have gotten stuck in the mud, as the landing surface was gravel. Even if one had overshot and taxied the wrong way and gotten stuck, it wouldn't have prevented the other from taking off safely. Landing one plane so that the other couldn't take off also seems illogical. Photographs confirm that both planes were already in close proximity to each other, on converging courses, before they began burning, completely ruling out the possibility of their positions changing during the subsequent disintegration. Both planes were only 10 feet (3,048 meters) apart on the runway and were blown up during their departure.

    Well... it turns out the pilots screwed up themselves.
    If we had trained better, it turns out that these losses would not have happened.
    It turns out that the planning of the operation itself was competent... considering that the pilot was rescued...

    P.S.. there were photos that showed a corpse among the planes..

      There is no corpse there, there is someone's skull.
      Poor, poor Yorick...

    What's the difference between being stuck at the airport or colliding?

    ...they didn't get stuck in the mud or break down, but collided while taxiing at a temporary site.

    Why didn't they report this right away? The US commander-in-chief threatened them, saying it would be easier for them to report that they had burned everything themselves than to admit the pilots' poor qualifications.

      Landing an airplane in enemy territory, in unfamiliar terrain, on a practically unprepared runway, and you call that low skill?

        Well, even student pilots land, you might say, on an uncharted runway at the beginning of their careers. Are you saying they're highly qualified? If you're a pro, then the runway excuse is for girls at the bar.

    Yes, it's normal that five more planes were lost, the main thing is the result - the rescue of the pilot of the first lost plane. You can make a historical film with five statues, this is a masterpiece of American pilot rescue, I suppose that the Voronov brothers' film studio will make such a film.

    It's nice to realize that even "army number one" can screw up just like the former "army number two".

      You're a grown man, and you believe pictures online... and not just that, you draw conclusions based on dubious pictures and articles by unknown people.

    And who are these "Oswinters"? And why should we believe them? They're just pictures drawn by someone. Is this considered proof to everyone? 😆
