Images featuring US military aircraft destroyed at a FARP (Forward Arming and Refuelling Point) inside Iran during the rescue of a downed F-15E Strike Eagle weapon systems officer (WSO) have been released by Iran.

According to a video at least two C-130 cargo planes and one MH-6 Little Bird special operations helicopter were destroyed by American forces to prevent their technology from falling into Iranian hands. Tehran says they were destroyed by the Iranian forces.

In fact, photos and footages showing the wreckage of the aircraft in a FARP located in southern Isfahan province were published by Iran’s Tasnim and Fars news agencies.
