00:00A mission deep inside hostile territory, a pilot missing, enemy forces closing in,
00:07and a rescue operation that pushed the limits of modern warfare.
00:12This is the inside story of a traumatic 48-hour rescue inside Iran.
00:18It began when a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down over Iran.
00:25Both crew members ejected, but only one was recovered immediately.
00:29The second was alone.
00:31The missing crew member, a weapons systems officer, had one advantage, training.
00:37SEER, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape.
00:41He moved fast, hiking away from the crash site, climbing to higher ground, avoiding detection.
00:48Then, he activated his emergency beacon.
00:51But he wasn't alone for long.
00:53Iranian forces launched a manhunt, even offering rewards for his capture.
00:58A race had begun.
01:00Who would reach him first?
01:02Back in command centers, the U.S. launched one of its most complex rescue missions of the war.
01:09Hundreds of personnel mobilized instantly.
01:12Special operations forces sent deep into Iran, supported by fighter jets, drones, helicopters, and real-time intelligence.
01:20But the rescue was anything but smooth.
01:23As U.S. teams closed in, they ran into heavy resistance.
01:28A massive firefight erupted on the ground.
01:31U.S. forces engaging Iranian units in a battle to reach one man.
01:35From the air, U.S. warplanes struck approaching convoys, trying to buy time for the rescue teams below.
01:43The cost was high.
01:45Two U.S. helicopters hit by enemy fire.
01:48Crew members injured.
01:50An A-10 warthog providing cover went down during the mission.
01:54And then another setback.
01:57U.S. transport aircraft became stranded inside Iran.
02:00With no way to recover them, they were destroyed by U.S. forces to prevent them from falling into enemy
02:06hands.
02:08Despite the chaos, the rescue teams finally reached the missing airman.
02:12He was alive but injured after nearly 48 hours on the run.
02:17Medics moved fast, stabilizing him mid-operation as extraction began under fire.
02:23Reinforcements arrived.
02:25Additional aircraft brought in to complete the evacuation.
02:29And finally, U.S. forces fought their way out, bringing both crew members back alive.
02:34But the mission leaves behind questions about escalation, about risk, and what comes next.
02:41Because this operation was more than a rescue.
02:44It was a ground battle inside Iran.
