Second US Jet ‘crashed’ Near Strait Of Hormuz, F-15E Crew Member Still Missing: Sources

An A-10 Warthog aircraft reportedly “crashed” near the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, though the exact location remains unclear, according to sources briefed on intelligence matters.

The pilot was safely recovered.

In a separate incident involving the downed F-15E fighter jet, the aircraft’s weapons systems officer remains missing. It is not immediately clear whether he was able to eject from the aircraft safely.

Two rescue helicopters deployed as part of a combat search-and-rescue mission to locate the missing crew member also came under enemy fire.

Both helicopters sustained damage, and some crew members were reportedly injured, but the aircraft were able to land safely.
