Does this relate to the reported shoot down near the start of the campaign and US and IDF SF CSAR infiltration to rescue? Iran

BREAKING: The Iranian air defense force has definitely shot down a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle from 494th Fighter Squadron OF RAF Lakenheath over western Iran.

Parts of the wreckage that did not burn have been found by locals, including sections from the vertical stabilizer, wingtip, and other surviving components. An impact crater was also observed at the crash site, where the aircraft hit, exploded, and burned.

The crew has definitely been rescued inside Iranian territory. CENTCOM has not released any information about it, and it appears they are hiding it. The exact time of the shootdown remains unknown.
