Wonder why pilots don't have a GPS locator on them? Hope they either rescue the pilot or that the pilot died upon impact, as a hostage situation would be terrible as they would likely torture the pilot and use the pilot as a pawn for years.

I would think so. But every situation in an event like this has unlimited variables that could affect technology, so who knows

Sounds like a high end liquor store

Correct. We don’t live in a vacuum and CSAR efforts can be insanely complex.

I didn’t see anything on CBS about an F-15. But they have this regarding an F-35:
quote:
Iran makes new claim to have shot down an American F-35 fighter jet Iran's state media carried a new claim by the country's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Friday to have shot down a U.S. F-35 fighter jet. The jet was "struck and downed over central Iran by the IRGC Aerospace Force's new air defense system," a spokesman for Iran's central military headquarters said in a statement carried by state media. "Due to the severe explosion of the aircraft upon impact and crash, it is unlikely that the pilot ejected safely." It was the second claim by the IRGC to have shot down an F-35 this week, the first of which was flatly denied by the U.S. military on Thursday. "All U.S. fighter aircraft are accounted for," U.S. Central Command said in a social media post on Thursday, referring to the claim made by the IRGC on Wednesday to have downed an F-35 over the Iranian Persian Gulf island of Qeshm. "Iran's IRGC has made the same false claim at least half a dozen times," CENTCOM added in its social media post. CBS News asked CENTCOM about the new claim by the IRGC on Friday but did not receive an immediate response. Iranian media posted images on social media showing various items of debris described as parts of a downed F-35, including a photo purported to show a badly damaged tail piece bearing insignia suggesting the debris was part of an aircraft based at RAF Lakenheath air base in the U.K., home to the U.S. Air Forces' 48th Fighter Wing, which includes F-35s. CBS News has not independently verified the authenticity of the photos shared by Iran's state media.
