And nobody's talking about what these aircraft actually DO. That's the terrifying part.
🚨🚨🚨 TWO U.S. HC-130J COMBAT KING II AIRCRAFT JUST ARRIVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST FROM GERMANY 🚨🚨🚨
These are NOT cargo planes. These are the ONLY dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the entire U.S. Air Force inventory. There are no substitutes. When the Pentagon deploys them, someone is either getting pulled out — or going in.
Process that.
THE AIRCRAFT:
→ Extended-range C-130J Hercules variant — built by Lockheed Martin
→ Equipped with FLIR (Forward-Looking Infrared), radar and missile warning receivers, chaff and flare dispensers
→ NVG-compatible interior AND exterior lighting — these fly BLACKED OUT at night
→ Can refuel TWO helicopters simultaneously mid-air with ZERO external communications
→ Satellite and data-burst comms — completely silent on conventional frequencies
→ Can receive fuel mid-flight via UARRSI (Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle)
THE MISSION:
→ A U.S. F-15 crew member was DOWNED inside Iranian territory
→ An A-10 Warthog sent to search was ALSO hit and damaged
→ U.S. Special Forces are NOW on the ground inside Iran — clashing with IRGC operatives in Kohgiluyeh province
→ Israel called off MULTIPLE strikes in the area to avoid disrupting the rescue
💀 These aircraft fly at LOW altitude at NIGHT to avoid ALL radar detection = COVERT EXTRACTION
💀 Blacked out comms + no external lighting = they don't WANT to be seen
💀 They deploy rescue bundles with illumination flares, marker smokes, and rescue kits = ACTIVE SEARCH IN HOSTILE TERRITORY
💀 Forward Area Refueling Point capability = they can SET UP a fuel depot INSIDE enemy lines
⚠️ The last time the U.S. flew dedicated CSAR platforms INTO a country it was actively bombing — it was Iraq, 2003
⚠️ U.S. Special Forces are engaging Iranian security forces in GROUND COMBAT inside Iran's borders
⚠️ Two aircraft lost. One crew member missing. Ground teams fighting IRGC. And now they're sending in the extraction fleet.
They're showing you "2 aircraft arrived."
They're NOT showing you that the U.S. is running a full-scale Combat Search and Rescue operation INSIDE Iran with special forces on the ground engaging in firefights.
You don't deploy HC-130J Combat King IIs for a routine flight.
→ You deploy them when someone is behind enemy lines.
→ And you only fly them blacked out at night when the enemy is ACTIVELY trying to shoot you down.
This is the most significant U.S. personnel recovery operation inside hostile territory since the 2011 Bin Laden raid.
i post what everyone else is too afraid to say.. follow if you want the truth with no filter. 🚨🚨🚨
The missing F-15 pilot evaded capture by climbing an elevated ridge and sending out evac beacons.
From that point, multiple aircraft were dispatched, decimating enemy forces all day in an attempt to secure a safe evacuation zone.
Upon finally reaching the operator with SF soldiers, two transport aircraft became stuck, at which point the US opted to blow up the two planes and send more transport aircraft to rescue the now trapped SF soldiers and pilot.
The planes were stuck at a remote base in Iran.
The US suffered zero casualties while eliminating numerous enemies, carrying out a highly complex rescue mission over the course of days.

@pati_marins64 nobody turned off the radars they where jammed by the fa18 growler squadrons c130j and f22 and f35 fighter planes they were in a complete blackout.
@iheartmindy@Not_ADemocracy This was a complete loss of control failure caused by either the tail section failing or aileron failure. The plane engine where wound wide open when it hit the ground at 264 knots. Pilots were helpless in the final moments.
@touchnick Just because your book smart doesn’t mean your smart. I work in a field where new engineers quit all the time because what they’re taught in college doesnt translate to real world alot of the times.
@TheRichFromCali No guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The gun does not wake up and go and kill someone people do and criminals will always get guns black market etc we all need weapons to protect ourselves.
