Iran says several 'enemy flying objects' destroyed during US pilot rescue mission

Several "flying objects" ​were destroyed during the US mission ‌to find a stranded airman in Iran, the Revolutionary Guards said ​on Sunday according to ​Tasnim news agency.

"During a joint ⁠operation (Aerospace, Ground Force, Popular ​Units, Basij and Police command), ​enemy flying objects were destroyed," the group said after Iran's police command ​announced an American C-130 ​aircraft had been downed in the south ‌of ⁠Isfahan.

The spokesperson of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command of the Iranian armed ​forces, said ​the ⁠downed aircraft included a C-130 military transport ​plane as well as ​two ⁠Black Hawk helicopters.

Earlier on Sunday, Iran's army also said they ⁠had ​downed an Israeli ​drone in the same province.
