US and Iran scramble to find missing pilot after F-15 jet shot down

The US and Iran are in a race to find an American service member who went missing after Tehran struck down a F-15 fighter jet. One of two crew members aboard the F-15 fighter jet has been rescued. Iran is reportedly offering locals around £50,000 to anyone who hands over the missing pilot alive. An anchor on the Iranian state media channel said: “If you capture the enemy pilot or pilots alive and hand them over to the police, you will receive a precious prize.” #F15 #A10Warthog #FighterJet #Iran #USMilitary #Aviation #AirCombat #Pilot #BreakingNews #Defense Watch more on Independent TV: https://tinyurl.com/yc7ukx9n The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
