'Blackhawk' shot down in search of missing pilot, US suffers setback in 24 hours

The United States is facing a series of setbacks in the ongoing conflict in West Asia. Iranian troops have fired on a US 'Blackhawk' helicopter sent to rescue a missing pilot. The helicopters somehow managed to escape, but the rescue operation has been hampered.

According to media reports, two US warplanes have been shot down in the last 24 hours. One of them is an F-15 model aircraft that was shot down in southwestern Iran, and the other is an A-10 Warthog that crashed in the area adjacent to the Hormuz Strait.

One of the pilots of the two aircraft was rescued, but the other is still missing. Along with the United States, Iran is also desperate to find him. Iran has even announced a reward if the pilot can be captured alive.

The United States sent two Black Hawk helicopters to search for the missing pilot. But when Iranian troops opened fire on them, the US forces were forced to stop the operation and quickly withdraw. This has further complicated the rescue operation.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has expressed reluctance to comment in detail on the course of events. He did not want to say anything to the media, citing the sensitivity of the matter.

On the other hand, Iran's Revolutionary Guard has surrounded the area of ​​the downed plane and has intensified the search to capture the missing pilot alive.

According to observers, although the US claims to have the situation under control, in reality the conflict is becoming increasingly complicated. The US forces have already suffered significant losses in this war and the path to a diplomatic solution is also becoming difficult.
