The American F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft was shot down over Iran on April 3. Two crew members ejected from the cockpit. The first pilot was quickly rescued, but the second could not be found immediately.
He was hiding in the mountains, armed only with a pistol. His search was the highest priority for the American military over the past 48 hours.
Details of the rescue operation were described by The New York Times.
The rescue mission involved a hundred special forces operators, dozens of American military aircraft, helicopters, and other assets.
American strike aircraft dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys to prevent them from reaching the area where the pilot was hiding. As American forces approached their officer, a firefight erupted.
The pilot had a beacon and a secure communication device to coordinate with the rescue mission. A senior U.S. military official called this mission one of the most difficult and complex in the history of American special operations.
After the officer was rescued, two transport planes that were supposed to take him and the soldiers to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. They were damaged. The command decided to send three new aircraft to evacuate all American military personnel, and the two damaged planes were blown up to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands.
This took place in the mountains of southwestern Iran, where there is significant opposition to the Iranian government.
According to other media reports, the rescued officer is now safe in Kuwait. All American forces have left Iranian airspace. Israel also assisted in the operation.
Donald Trump also announced the successful completion of the mission.
