Seconds later, a shoulder-fired missile streaked upward and detonated just behind the jet\u2019s tail. The blast filled the sky. The Super Hornet kept flying.\n\nMultiple videos of the engagement, geolocated by open-source analysts to coordinates 25.332, 60.603 near Chabahar\u2019s eastern shore, surfaced within hours. They show the same event from different angles \u2014 and sparked one of the fiercest debates of Operation Epic Fury so far.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Osinttechnical\/status\/2033291786043461672\"><\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What the Footage Shows<\/h2>\n\nThe clearest video, filmed from roughly two kilometers away, captures the Super Hornet in a left-hand banking turn at extremely low altitude. The telltale exhaust gases of the Vulcan cannon are visible \u2014 a brief, pale streak beneath the aircraft \u2014 followed moments later by the distinct sound of the gun reaching the camera.\n\nThen comes the missile. A bright flash erupts just aft of the jet, and the elongated shape of the detonation strongly suggests a proximity fuse \u2014 the warhead sensed it was close enough and triggered. Fragments spray outward. For a fraction of a second, it looks like a kill.\n\nBut from a second angle \u2014 a more frontal perspective shared by the GeoConfirmed team \u2014 the Super Hornet emerges from the blast cloud flying straight and level. No smoke trail. No debris falling. No spiraling descent. The jet simply continues its mission.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarioNawfal\/status\/2033299007490211945\"><\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Iran Claims a Kill. CENTCOM Says Otherwise.<\/h2>\n\nThe Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps wasted no time. Within hours, the IRGC issued a statement claiming that \u201cthe enemy F-18 fighter jet was accurately hit in the sky of Chabahar by missiles from the IRGC Navy\u2019s advanced modern air defense system\u201d and that the aircraft subsequently \u201ccrashed in the Indian Ocean.\u201d\n\nU.S. Central Command\u2019s response was measured but unambiguous: \u201cNo U.S. fighter aircraft have been shot down by Iran.\u201d\n\nMany observers noted the careful wording on both sides. CENTCOM said \u201cshot down,\u201d not \u201chit.\u201d And Iran\u2019s track record of inflating claims \u2014 including a previous false report of an F\/A-18 downed near the Strait of Hormuz \u2014 has eroded its credibility on such announcements.\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/2036869094595568037\"><\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The MANPADS Problem Nobody Solved<\/h2>\n\nWhat makes this incident alarming is not what the missile did, but what the pilot apparently could not see coming. Defense Express <a href=\"https:\/\/en.defence-ua.com\/news\/iranian_manpads_nearly_bags_fa_18_super_hornet_has_no_launch_detection_pilot_got_lucky_with_course_change-17967.html\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> that the F\/A-18E\/F is not equipped with a dedicated missile launch detection system for infrared threats like MANPADS. Its AN\/ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receiver picks up radar-guided threats \u2014 but a heat-seeking shoulder-fired missile generates no radar signal to detect.\n\nThe pilot\u2019s left-hand turn, which may have saved the aircraft, appears to have been a routine course change rather than a deliberate evasive maneuver. In other words: the pilot may not have known the missile was coming.\n\n\u201cThe pilot was simply lucky,\u201d the Defense Express analysis concluded, \u201cor potentially warned by another pilot, wingman or lead.\u201d\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Osinttechnical\/status\/2033292236805271600\"><\/a><\/blockquote>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n  <p>&#8220;In war, whichever side may call itself the victor, there are no winners, but all are losers.&#8221;<\/p>\n  <cite>\u2014 Neville Chamberlain<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Low and Fast Over Iran<\/h2>\n\nThe Chabahar strafing run reveals something broader about Operation Epic Fury. Despite early claims of rapid air supremacy over Iran, American pilots are still flying dangerously low attack runs over populated areas \u2014 well within the engagement envelope of infantry-portable weapons that cost a fraction of the aircraft they threaten.\n\nMANPADS like the Misagh-2 and Qaem in Iran\u2019s inventory are short-range, low-altitude systems designed for exactly this scenario: catching fast jets when they come down to play. And in a country where thousands of IRGC personnel and Basij militia fighters could be carrying them, every low pass is a roll of the dice.\n\nThe Super Hornet survived this roll. The next one might look different.\n\n<em>Sources: The War Zone, Defense Express, The Aviationist, GeoConfirmed<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On March 25, a U.S. Navy F\/A-18E\/F Super Hornet screamed low over the Iranian port city of Chabahar, its M61A2 Vulcan cannon spitting 20mm rounds at targets near the Imam Ali IRGC Naval Base.
