There is a tinfoil theory I've seen posted by a few people about how this was a mission to grab enriched uranium and the recovered pilot was only a part of the story.

Several helicopters is what I read, although I don't know what type.
I also saw a tweet saying each C-130 carried 100 soldiers. Seems like it would take a lot of helicopters to get that many people out. That number seems way too high to me.
I think they used the C-130s to insert the little birds. The 100 troops is likely two elements. One to secure the Adhoc airfield and the other to ride the little birds and extract the airman. I imagine they initially intended to retrieve the little birds with the C-130s but blew them in place when they got stuck in the sand. In regards to pax capacity on helos, at sea level you would be surprised how many pax can be thrown on a helo. We limit pax to 12 for most training ops to limit casualties in case of an accident. I actually packed 53 pax on a CH-53E in one real world op. At sea level, that bird will cube out before hitting its max weight capacity when dealing with pax

Gina Haspel was in a gunfight and she handed the minerals off to Pompeo to transport in a yellow submarine.
IYKYK.

Any and all AI slop should be downvoted.
A better question is, what kind of idiot posts a picture of the alleged colonel and alleged members of Seal Team 6? Those people don't want their faces displayed all over the internet.
If he thought it was real, then he's an a-hole for posting it.
If the knew it was fake, then he's an a-hole for posting it.
Either way, he's an idiot a-hole.

We built a freaking makeshift airfield in enemy territory without any significant ground support. And the media and dems say we’re losing.
Remember when that French General scoffed at the idea of building an air strip inside Iran? Said that the Americans should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.
The European minds cannot comprehend the things that America is capable of doing.

Wasn't some Dimitri Russian outright tweeting Q? As Jim from gateway pundit posted an article years ago laying out Q as a formation of a known in the past, russian Op?
Does it still seem as if Russia is a good player as Tucker and Q influencers think?
Can this be discussed as rational adults w/o cussing?

Word on the street is they used a Casa (now Airbus)C-295W twin turboprop(Spanish built) which is a tactical transport but much smaller than a Hercules which would explain why they could not take the little birds with them because they just won't fit. I don't even think it has an official US designation because it's operated by some secret squirrel unit.
The CASAs were down the contingency chain.
The entire op was audible and contingency heavy. Which is the way they tend to go and why success is even more impressive.

It means when dealing with pax at sea level you will run out of space to put troops in before weight becomes an issue.
