I agree, because the amount of weaponry used is way above necessary not to mention the delta forces report which suggests a much larger operation.

Considering negotiation power/public reports don't talk about it I'd assume it failed to achieve its goal so they covered it up with a "pilot rescue mission"

The pilot would likely already have been rescued on the first day if that is the case.

This is way overkill for finding and extracting 1 pilot

Well since they use chatgpt now for military operations I asked it what it thought and it told me its a search and rescue operation because they simply didn't have nuclear experts and heavy transport equipment to transport the uranium
