All Times and Bridge Day all wrapped up in one. Open the effing straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch. That is verbatim from his True Social post on what's going to happen to Iran if they don't open the straight by Tomorrow at 8pm A little more than 24 hours. If it's not open, he's going to unleash hell, according to him. Also, we're talking about one of the most profound, if not the most profound, hostage rescue search and rescue operations ever conducted behind enemy lines. Almost 200 miles behind enemy lines with these F15 pilots also big shout out to Carnival, our premier sponsor. Beef, chicken and pork. Guys, if you want to get invested into a bulk purchase of freeze dried food, especially giving the looming cost of freeze dried food overall, including beef prices going up through the roof, nearly 50% up last year alone, there is zero financial gain for us at Carnival. You could email supporturvivaldispatch.com I'll link all that below. It's not going to be a solicitation of anything marketing wise. It's to get opted in to a potential bulk purchase of freeze dried food and the instructions will be disseminated here this week. Again I'll link that down below. Send them an email@supporturvivaldispatch.com Guys, we have the situation looming where Iran will lose its bridges and its power plants, all of its energy infrastructure if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran, while this is going on is still conducting attacks on infrastructure in the region including hitting a aws, this Amazon server building in the UAE as well as hitting the Oracle office building in Dubai overnight. Guys, this is tit for tat. I don't see any end to this. And with 365American service members now injured with 13 being killed, many more in the region who have been killed, it's interesting to say the least because I think it's going to continue to escalate and the de escalation is going to get further away the more that we retaliate for them not meeting these timelines. According to the news this morning, there was a 45 day peace treaty that was basically denied by both sides. I think it was proposed by the Americans. The Iranians wanted things modified and then the Americans said we're not doing that. I'm going to be doing a reacts on my main channel, Mike Glover Channel about this circumstance, especially the hostage rescue combat search and rescue operation that took place. Iran hit Kuwait again targeting power plants and desalination facilities. Two Kuwaiti power plants were damaged by Iranian drones attacks on Sunday causing the shutdown of two electricity generating units and Iran fired on US Bases in Jordan. They also launched attacks into Israel right now as of Sunday April 5th. That's yesterday. 6833 casualties were evacuated to hospitals in Israel alone, 6800 also in Lebanon, more than 1400 people have been killed and Iran reports over 2000 dead and 26,000 wounded. Now to get into this situation with a timeline for this combat search and rescue Hoss's rescue operation. Guys, when I Was in the military, one of the things that we had as a potential operation or mission set that we were always prepared for was combat search and rescue. Now specific units like DEVGRU and Delta do hostage rescue across the globe. They're the national mission force. They mobilize, deploy on short notice to do hostage rescues. Now this is kind of a blend of that, but they would be involved according to outlets, Green Berets, probably the old KRIFF units that have reinforced companies enablers and more capability were invested and involved, but also DEVGRU and Delta. So what does that mean? Well, it means in a combat search and rescue circumstance there's going to be specific units like the Air Force that use pararescue men to go to the objective one where the beacon is being identified geolocated. Other organizations to include Ranger Regiment, Delta, Dev. Special Operations Command overall is going to deploy aircraft assets to include helicopters and operators on the ground to contain the area to protect the person who's being rescued, plucked from the earth in this situation. I'm going to walk you through some of the elements of this timeline. On April 3, an F15E model was shot down and sees our operations began. It came out of the 494th Fighter Squadron out of RAF, that's Lake and Heath and it's hit over southwestern Iran, apparently a couple hundred miles inland or in the country from the border. And the crisis site confirmed that two pilots, a pilot, it's a pilot and a weapon systems officer ejected. Both crew members safely ejected and both pilots activated their survival radios. Now they're, they're calling one the pilot, the other guy is going to be the more senior guy who's the chief weapons guy. Right, the weapon systems officer. The pilot was recovered within hours. Right. He, he gets out on the ground, they have helicopters come in and pick him up. In fact there's a video of a C130 refueling two seesaw helicopters. Those sees our helicopters are likely the ones that picked them up. But they took incoming small arms fire and had a limp back to base. They got behind a safe corridor, landed successfully. But some of the people on board were injured from the small arms fire. So the Iran, the Iranians are claiming it used a new IRGC air defense system, but the exact weapon system remains unconfirmed. I mean it could be AK47s for all we know. Pilots, the pilot recover within hours. The WSO lands separately in a more mountainous area and the WSO's beacon briefly detected by satellites then go silent. The reason's unknown. Part of My job in Delta when I was there was Blue Force tracking and also Red Force tracking. Tracking bad guys and also tracking good guys. Part of that was understanding how beacons work. Now these guys are using more profound and capable beacons. Unlike tags that we would use sewn into our uniforms that would be used passively, meaning you would have to have an interrogation device with a signal to bounce back that frequency. It's similar to what you see in Search and Rescue when a skier goes down in an avalanche where you basically have to generate energy or a signal and then it bounces off and it changes the sound or tone. And that's how you could detect where they are, these pilots. This weapon systems officer was using a beacon that's transmitting a signal that could be more easily detected, especially when these guys are in harm's way behind enemy lines. So the assets overhead would geolocate them. But if they're hiding behind rocks or boulders against the mountain, they might be tampering the signal themselves. And, and again, these signals bounce all over the place, which is why maybe they went silent for a period of time. Now, in hours one through 12, the weapon system officer begins evasion following his SEAR training. I went through SEAR High Risk C as a Green Beret with pilots, right? All pilots are required to go through this training because they have to escape or evade escape and then potentially go through a scenario where they're held captive. Now this guy starts to climb and allegedly gets to 7,000ft in the climb. We don't know where he landed. He could have went a couple hundred feet or he could have moved from the ground to 7,000ft. Regardless, he tried to move in higher elevation to get away from the ground. U.S. iSR Intelligence Surveillance and reconnaissance elements tracks Iranian movement continuously and MQ9 Reaper drones are in the area keeping a box of 3km boxed out the bad guys away from the good guys. Now this is where special operators come in. Because when you're containing the search and rescue of a specific person, you have to create a corridor or bubble around that person so elements can get to them without having to worry from anti aircraft fire, ground fire, or air assets that are going to take them out of the sky. Now, we've advertised that we own the sky, yet we had two F15s, several F minus 15s shot at and shot down, including an A10 aircraft that was also shot down as part of this incident. So the US aircraft strike IRGC forces moving toward the area. There is video of that which I will show on my reacts video from the enemy's perspective, 24 to 36 hours in, you have the A10 incident. There's an A10 warthog, which again the A10 is fascinating because they've saved our butts in Afghanistan many times because of their capabilities. They're also forward air controllers. My short stint as an air controller, as somebody who was qualified to call close air support, I understood the capability but also the benefit of having A10s on the battlefield. One, they're highly maneuverable close to the ground. They could slow down their rate of speed so they don't over penetrate the potential target area. Meaning an F15 has to make a loiter, a long loiter that takes minutes to get around to where they could see the enemy again in their pod, where an A10 can just, you know, juke and maneuver close to the ground. They're, they're known for being tank killers, but they also can call their own close air support because they're forward air controllers, meaning they don't need permission from somebody to sign off on it on the ground in order to hit a target or strike a target. They could do it internally or unilaterally. So the Cesar air operations begin and you have an 8C130 conducting aerial fuel resupply of two helicopters. Now you see the video, it's pretty famous now. It's everywhere of that C130 flying low and slow resupplying the helicopters. Super dangerous mission set by the way. I mean they're within range of missiles for sure. Close air support is, is overhead protecting them. But RPGs, Anti Aircraft Weapon Systems, Dishkas Zuki is, you know, 12.5 to 14.7 millimeter. They're in that potential range, at least it looks, it looks like it. And then those Black Hawk helicopters take fire during the rescue operations, but the aircraft returns safely with some injuries on board with the down pilot. False reports are spread that the weapon system officer has been recovered already launched by the CIA. They're launching deception campaigns inside of Iran doing this. Now I'm like, why would they advertise that? But, but if they're advertising it and the enemy now has to question everything that comes out, I, I guess it's a good thing. But that's open source information. The CIA locates the, the weapon system officer and passes coordinates to US leadership. Now that is likely, more than likely because they have air assets overhead, including MQ9 reapers who are looking in that area visually with ISR platforms. But also maybe they got low enough to hit the signal to Identify where he's located, even potentially getting to communicate on this survival radio because for sure he's putting out an SOS hours 36 to 48. Obviously Trump authorized authorizes immediate rescue. Now guys, Delta Dev grew Special Operations command is in the region. For them to mobilize this quick and to get on the ground is insane. It's speculation now that hundreds of operators were on the ground, inserted the weapon system officer was located and recovered alive even after sustained evasion. Allegedly has a broken limb, an ankle, a leg. An MC130 aircraft lands at a remote airstrip inside of Iran and at least two aircraft become disabled on the ground. Now I'm hearing reports that it could have been three or four to include two fixed wing aircraft with two little bird, ah, six little birds, which are the attack helicopter helicopter versions. Now why would something like that happen? Well, I can tell you right now it's likely those gunships were not gunships, but just MC130s that had helicopters on them. Meaning if they had a helicopter assault force package, they would land with operators and helicopters, they would offload them, put them together, essentially, you know, put this, the tail section boom into position, you know, open the rotors and get them spun up for the operators to conduct operations in the area to protect the pilot. Meaning they would have what's called a recon aerial flight or close air support for the pilot to protect them. Meaning operators with guns, AH6s with guns protecting the area. Now what seems likely that happened was these MC130s got stuck and so they bipped everything in place, blew in place everything to prevent it to getting into enemy hands. They cross loaded into other aircraft and safely exfilled. The US assessment is that aircraft were self destroyed, not shot down like the Iranians claimed. And that President Trump said no U.S. personnel were killed. Don't miss the Devil Wears Prada too.
