So far they seem to have lost, well, at least half a billion in equipment "rescuing" this pilot. It reminds me of that other infamous US operation in Iran: Carters " Operation Eagle Claw" intended to rescue the Embassy hostages which ended likewise in total disaster and a similar smorgasbord of burned out US kit in the desert.
No doubt it will be portrayed as a big Movie type " win"...but it's clearly been a total mess operationally.

Never mind...going by the competence levels exhibited here, there appears there's really nothing to fear from any Yanqui attempts to put "Boots on the Ground" in Iran.
