"Donald Trump revealed that Iran shot down the US F-15 with a 'hand-held, shoulder, heat-seeking missile' as he spoke with the media from the White House on Monday. "They still have a — you know, what hit this one was a shoulder — hand -held shoulder missile, heat-seeking missile. So it's not like, you know, they're totally whatever. But — and they had probably a little luck, because you got to get lucky. But they shot it, and it got sucked in right by the engine. But these guys were out of there," he said. The F-15 fighter jet was downed over Iran on Friday, with the US launching a frantic search after both crew ejected. The pilot was reported to have been rescued the same day, with the helicopter carrying him also reportedly hit by Iranian air defences - although the US claimed it had landed safely. Iranian state media had broadcast a 'reward' for the capture of the two crew. The second crewmember was rescued by the US side on Sunday, with Trump posting:"We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran… An AMAZING show of bravery and talent by all!"
