Two U.S. military helicopters were hit by Iranian fire on Friday while engaging in a search-and-rescue mission for the crew of a downed fighter jet.
A U.S. Air Force UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter and a second search-and-rescue helicopter were struck but were able to escape, a source familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity to share operational matters, told The Hill.
The aircraft were involved in recovery efforts for crew members ejected from an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down by Iranian forces, the first instance of an American plane being downed inside the country since the conflict began in late February.
One of the two crew members has been rescued by U.S. forces, according to a U.S. official. There is an ongoing search for the other service member.
