2 US UH-60 helicopters and a refueling aircraft were flying near Iran's southern border to search for the pilot of an F-15.Fars news claims the pilot was captured, while separate reports suggest a helicopter and possibly a tanker may also have been shot down.
With 10,000+ sorties flown thus far it's not surprising that an F15 was either shot down by Iran or they had mechanical issues and lost the jet. We are talking about a country whos military ranks right behind Ukraine and one that has specifically prepared for many years. Sucks but unrealistic to think more of this stuff would not or will not happen.
Iran is now offering bounties to civilians who capture downed enemy pilots alive.

“The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why.
The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.”
