The rescue narrative gets so much more interesting when you realize the pilot would’ve had to walk 172 km in a single day to get to the location from crash sight and other pilot. And the video of the jet getting shot down clearly shows they both ejected at the same time.
The two points on that Google Maps screenshot show the crash site of the downed F-15E in central Iran (lower black circle) and the location where the second crew member (weapons systems officer) was supposedly rescued by U.S. special forces (upper red pin near Shahrekord).

Didn’t they lose two of those big transport planes in the operation too? Not what they would normally send for picking up 1 airman
yeah exactly
