According to reports, the A-10 Warthog fighter jet crashed near the Strait of Hormuz at about the same time as the F-15 was shot down. The only pilot on board was rescued alive.
According to experts, the A-10 Warthog aircraft is usually used to strike specific targets at close range. It is believed that it was shot down while conducting a military operation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Meanwhile, the White House said that US President Donald Trump has been informed about the incident. According to US media reports, the rescued crew is being treated in a hospital.
It should be noted that the F-15 fighter jet usually has two crew members - one pilot and the other weapons management officer. In the current situation, there is uncertainty about the fate of the missing crew.
