The U.S. military released dramatic new video Tuesday night showing part of a major rescue mission in Iran. The footage shows Air Force pararescue operators reaching an injured American airman after his F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down by an Iranian missile in April. The mission rescued both members of the two-person crew.
A U.S. Air Force colonel recounted his story of survival after his F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran in April, in the early months of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. The colonel spoke with “60 Minutes” on CBS News about the incident and was referred to by the outlet as Bravo, his mission call sign, due to security threats. Bravo told Norah O’Donnell that he was the weapon-systems officer of the two-man crew when their plane was struck, and he plummeted at an estimated 70-100 mph. #iran #airman #rescued #military
