Pentagon releases video of September 13 rescue of downed F-15E crew in Iran

On 16 September, the Pentagon released video showing the combat search-and-rescue mission that recovered a severely injured weapons systems officer after his F-15E was shot down over Iran on 13 September. The officer, call sign Dude 44 Bravo, told U. S.

Central Command that a missile strike forced him to eject, his parachute was damaged and he spent roughly 50 hours evading Iranian forces, at one point climbing a 7,000-foot ridge before pararescue teams extracted him. Senior defense officials said the operation involved hundreds of personnel and that the aircraft’s pilot had been rescued earlier.

摘要

There is not enough evidence to verify that on September 13, 2026, an Air Force colonel survived a missile strike, a high-speed ejection, and two days behind enemy lines before being rescued by a large-scale U.S. operation. There is not enough evidence to confirm that the Pentagon disclosed footage of a large-scale combat search-and-rescue mission on September 16, 2026. It is partially confirmed that an F-15E was shot down over Iran earlier in 2026.
