Trump says he bombed Iran

Interesting, cheers for the link - haven't seen any mention of the incident prior to Trump's post which is a bit odd (not saying it's a false flag).

It would explain the strikes by Israel and justify US response as so far it appears Iran fired first and broke the ceasefire based on current evidence.

Apache helicopters, impressive as they are, can be rather susceptible to the likes of missile attack in this day and age.

So it's not beyond the realms of possibility.

Hope the crew made it out ok?

If the aircraft was indeed shot down over the Straits of Hormuz, like Trump claims, and it being a helicopter...

It's also possible that the Apache hit a Shaheed or similar drone on its way but not specifically targeting it but who knows?

Just what's online.

Glad the crew was rescued...

Great news the crew are ok. It's possible there was a press embargo on the incident until crew and any sensitive tech were rescued as reporting it would compromise the rescue effort and put a lot of troops at risk.

My hat goes off to helicopter pilots, they're meant to be impossible to fly in perfect conditions but the pilots make it look easy.
