CONFIRMED by US Officials: F-15E shot down over Iran [View all]

Blackhawks circling on site to locate pilots, who ejected. Allegedly.

This is from the Iranians, but there are pretty clear pictures of the jet debris (494 Fighter Group) and videos of the Blackhawks.

New York Times Confirmation:

Iran shot down a U.S. fighter jet over the country, U.S. officials and Iranian state-affiliated media said on Friday.

The fate of the plane’s crew was unclear, as American officials scrambled to mount a search and rescue operation before Iran could get to any survivors, officials said.
