Elite forces searching for missing US pilot after two aircraft were downed
"The operation is being led by the Pararescuemen, or 'PJs,' one of the U.S. military's most elite special operations units, specialists in combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) behind enemy lines."
"Iranian state-linked media in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province urged civilians to report any 'enemy pilot' and broadcast messages encouraging them to shoot those attempting to evade capture."
"Tehran has placed a $60,000 bounty to capture the missing pilot, and the PJ's are desperately trying to find the person."
"Officials confirmed that one crew member from the second incident had been rescued, though it remains unclear whether both airmen survived."
Two U.S. military aircraft were shot down over Iran and the Persian Gulf, prompting a high-stakes search for a missing pilot by the Pararescuemen. The first incident involved a fighter jet downed over Iran, where American forces secured the crash site and extracted a pilot in fair condition. Iranian media urged civilians to report the missing pilot, offering a $60,000 bounty. A second aircraft was downed near the Strait of Hormuz, with one crew member rescued, but the fate of the other remains uncertain.
