In this explosive episode of OPEN COLLAR, Major Gaurav Arya breaks down one of the most daring and dramatic military operations in recent times — the rescue of a U.S. pilot deep inside Iranian territory. After a high-end American fighter jet was shot down over Iran, the stakes couldn’t have been higher. Iranian forces, intelligence agencies, armed tribesmen, and civilians launched a massive manhunt to capture the pilot alive — a move that would have delivered a huge propaganda victory for Tehran.
