The tough US Air Force colonel whose plane was shot down, forcing him to eject over Iran, was reportedly found yesterday in what Trump called the most dangerous mission in American history.
Sources revealed how the serviceman was wounded, but he still managed to climb a 7000-foot ridge and hid in a crevice to prevent being captured for 36 hours, even with mega bounty hunters on his tail.
The cool-as-a-cucumber American here, who has yet to be publicly identified, spent nearly one and a half days hiding in the Zagros Mountains range.
He continued to dodge the enemy after his F-15E went down in hostile territory on Friday. Despite his wounds, he stayed strong and composed to avoid detection.
President Trump said thousands of savages were doing their best to hunt him down, but America again managed to come out on top of this harrowing situation. The officer was armed with only a handgun as he awaited rescue. This occurred thanks to the emergency beacon he sent out from a crevice along the mountain.
