Everyone thinks that a huge fleet of American black helicopters and state-of-the-art fighter jets have entered to rescue the missing pilot. But is the reality really that simple? Logic says—would any country risk dozens of their valuable helicopters and the best fighter jets in the air like this for just one pilot? Never!

The real truth is that the pilot rescue was just a fancy excuse. Behind the scenes, their main goal was to conduct a secret operation at the highly secure nuclear plant in Isfahan, Iran. Perhaps the purpose was to seize some chemical or uranium-related information or resources from there.

But the result? The mission was not successful, but rather they lost one after another of their proud black helicopters and fighter jets by entering the Iranian border and faced huge losses. Those who came to rescue are now witnesses to the ruins. At the end of the day, the question is only one: was the move a mistake, or did America pay this extreme price while trying to gauge the strength of its adversary?
