Two U.S. warplanes shot down; search ongoing in Iran for 1 missing crew member
An F-15 fighter jet and an A-10 attack plane were lost to hostile fire. Two Black Hawk helicopters also were hit, injuring the crews, before safely returning to their base, officials said.
Two U.S. military aircraft were shot down in separate incidents Friday while conducting combat operations against Iran, setting off a frantic search-and-rescue effort that remains ongoing for one missing crew member, U.S. officials said.
The F-15E fighter jet and the A-10 attack plane both were hit by incoming fire, U.S. officials said. One of two crew members aboard the F-15, which crashed inside Iran, was rescued, though their condition was not immediately clear, the officials said. The A-10 pilot navigated the damaged plane to Kuwaiti airspace before ejecting and was subsequently rescued, they added.
