In a dramatic development, U.S. forces destroyed their own aircraft inside Iran during a high-risk rescue mission after a fighter jet was shot down. According to reports, two transport planes sent to extract commandos and a stranded airman became inoperable at a remote base, forcing commanders to deploy additional aircraft and destroy the disabled ones to prevent capture. The mission, involving hundreds of special forces and heavy air support, successfully rescued the airman after nearly 48 hours in hiding. The operation, marked by intense firefights and airstrikes, is being described as one of the most complex and dangerous U.S. rescue missions in recent history. Watch
