The IRGC has issued a formal statement thanking the... nomadic Bakhtiari and Kohgiluyeh tribes of southwestern Iran — shepherds living in the Zagros Mountains — for independently striking two US Black Hawk helicopters on Friday during America’s frantic search and rescue operation for the missing F-15E weapons systems officer. Here’s the sequence: Iran shoots down the F-15E on Friday using a new passive infrared air defence system the US never detected. Washington immediately launches a massive rescue operation — HC-130s, Pave Hawks, Black Hawks flying low through hostile mountain terrain 200 miles from the nearest US base. One Black Hawk takes small arms fire, crew wounded, confirmed by US officials. The IRGC now says tribesmen not soldiers, not air defence units, men with personal rifles who live in those mountains protecting sheep — struck two of those helicopters independently, without any Iranian military coordination or presence. The IRGC’s exact words: they have “always been the brave, courageous and victorious border guards of Islamic Iran.” The weapons systems officer is still missing. The search is entering day two. The IRGC has sealed off the area. Iran’s provincial governor is offering bounties. And the most exoensibey military in the world is being hunted across the Zagros by shepherds.show more

🧐🇺🇸 The Country That Put More Fighter Jets in... Foreign Skies Than the Rest of the World Combined For more than 70 years, the United States has dominated the global fighter aircraft market, exporting thousands of combat jets to allies across the world. Its fighters have flown in the colors of dozens of nations, making American aircraft the backbone of many of the world's most powerful air forces. The numbers are staggering: ◽ F-16 Fighting Falcon, More than 4,600 built, making it one of the most successful fighter jet programs ever created. It remains America's most exported fighter and is operated by over 25 countries. ◽ F-15 Eagle & Strike Eagle, Among the most capable air superiority and strike fighters ever built, exported to key allies across the Middle East and Asia. ◽ F/A-18 Hornet & Super Hornet, Trusted by allied air forces and navies for decades. ◽ F-35 Lightning II, The largest fifth generation fighter export program in history, with more than 20 nations already committed to the aircraft. America's dominance is not just about building aircraft. It offers pilot training, weapons integration, maintenance support, continuous upgrades, and access to a vast military industrial network that keeps aircraft effective for decades. While many nations can build fighter jets, very few can provide the global support system that comes with them. From the F-4 Phantom and F-5 Tiger during the Cold War to today's F-35 stealth fighter, American aircraft have shaped air combat across generations. No nation has exported more fighter jets. No nation has equipped more allied air forces. And no fighter export empire has had a greater impact on the balance of air power worldwide.show more
