U.S. UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopters, MQ-9 "Reaper" drones, and a MC-130J Special Operations Command aircraft are operating over Boyer-Ahmad County in central Iran.

They are likely either searching for the pilots of the shot down F-15E fighter jet, or carrying out a special operations mission.

F-35 Fighter jets and a C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft are seen flying over central Iran, reportedly near the crash site of the F-15E, although the terrain does not match the images of the crash site.

Iranian state media is now calling on local tribes to capture any surviving pilots to receive a "valuable reward".

A U.S. MC-130J Special Operations Command aircraft is seen refuelling two UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters as it flies to carry out an imminent special operations mission in central Iran, likely aimed at rescuing any surviving pilots from the earlier F-15E crash.

โšก๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Here is what might have happened:

-A USAF F-15E was engaged and damaged yesterday by Iranian air defenses, reportedly near Qeshm island.

- The pilot initially managed to keep control of the aircraft. After a damage assessment, the jet was considered lost. The pilot ejected.

-The F-15E later crashed in central Iran.

Due to the speed of the aircraft and the fact that the missile only damaged it, the engagement, ejection and crash site can be separated by tens of kilomters from eachother.

Until today, neither the Americans or the Iranians had a clear idea of the pilot location. The Americans are now actively looking for it.

What, are you telling me CENTCOM's "fact check" with the green tick emoji was false, and they were lying??

Or perhaps all the massive aerial rescuing assets currently flying over Iran are just for a military parade to celebrate Trump's new position as supreme leader of Iran.

The IRGC published footage showing their air defences shooting down what appears to either be a U.S. A-10 Warthog attack aircraft or an MQ-9 Reaper drone, which was reportedly taking part in the mission aimed at rescuing the crashed F-15 pilots.

The IRGC claims it was an A-10.

It looks like Russia may be trying once again to reach the stronghold city of Orikhiv, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. All of their previous attempts at reaching the city have ended in failure, so it will be interesting to see if any changes occur in tactics/assaultโ€ฆ
Update: This Russian attack on Orikhiv that I reported on March 15 ended in failure, just like all the previous ones. At least 15 armoured vehicles were used in two columns, most of which were damaged/destroyed. No progress was made as a result of the attacks, with only some smaller gains being made on the flanks from separate assaults involving small groups of infantry.

With the season of motorbike assaults now arriving, I expect we will see additional attempts to reach Orikhiv in the near future using this tactic instead.

This is like Bilohorivka 2.0

I don't know how the commander for this sector hasn't been fired yet. This is like the 10th failed mechanised attack using the exact same route and exact same tactics.

All in all, the defence of Orikhiv by Ukraine for the last 4 years has been excellent.

The U.S. Department of Defence reports that a total of 365 U.S. servicemen have been injured so far as a result of Iranian strikes, including 247 in the army, 63 in the navy, 19 marines, and 36 in the Air Force.

They also claim the death toll remains at 13.
