Pilots were brought out from the depths of Iran, how CIA passed, IRGC failed – Cocktail story of struggle, restraint and success

middle east The war raging in is increasing day by day. US President Donald Trump is continuously giving new warnings to Iran, but Iran is not at all ready to bow down. Iran is also continuously giving a befitting reply to America and Israel. Recently Iran had shot down 2 American fighter jets. After which the pilots of the fighter jet fell in Iran. However, America has claimed that they have evacuated both their pilots safely from Iran.

On the other hand, an American pilot set an example of survival by fighting alone for about 48 hours in enemy territory. It has exposed the real power of military training to the world. This incident of F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft being shot down in the mountainous region of south-western Iran seems like a story from a Hollywood movie.

How to spend 48 hours in Iran?

After the plane fell, the pilot immediately adopted the strategy of hiding and constantly changing locations. He kept hiding in the mountain crevices and kept moving to avoid the forces engaged in search. At one time he climbed a 7,000 feet high hill and distanced himself from the surrounding troops. He had only a handgun, limited resources and training. The interesting thing was that even American agencies could not track his exact location for more than 24 hours.

How did the CIA find out?

The pilot had a communication device and a tracking beacon, but it was not easy to find it due to difficult geographical conditions. Finally, his location was traced using CIA technology. As soon as its location was confirmed, the information was shared with the White House, Pentagon and the US Army. After this the special forces team was immediately sent for the operation.

The pilot was rescued safely on Sunday. Although he suffered some injuries, his condition was said to be stable. It is a matter of relief that no member of the rescue team was injured in this entire operation.

What did President Trump say?

Donald Trump praised the mission, saying, “This brave warrior was behind enemy lines in the inaccessible mountains of Iran, pursued by our enemies, who were getting closer every hour.” He described this operation as one of the most daring search and rescue operations in American history.

What is SERE training?

This incident proved the importance of American military training ‘SERE’ (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape). This training prepares pilots to survive over enemy territory, evade capture, resist capture, and escape safely. In this training, instead of relying only on equipment, emphasis is given on mental strength, ability to take quick decisions and adapt oneself according to the circumstances.

Pilots are given a survival kit with ejection seat, which contains necessary equipment. Apart from this, they wear a special jacket, which contains radio, weapons and other important things.
