Dan Caine said that the US operation to rescue the downed American airman was successful because of the crew member’s “absolute commitment to surviving.” “The single most important contributor to a successful rescue operation is the spirit of attack inside the heart of that downed aviator. Their will to survive, their will to evade, their will to recover, is everything. In this case, the back seater’s absolute commitment to surviving made much of our efforts possible,” Caine said during the news conference on the Iran war.
The American A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft that was shot down by Iran on Friday was part of rescue operations for the two crew members from a downed F-15E Strike Eagle fighter, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said during a press conference Monday. The pilot of the A-10, a single-seater aircraft, safely ejected and was rescued outside of Iran after flying the plane away from Iranian territory, CNN previously reported.
