Drone Swarm Over Iran Could Explain F-15 Downing, Pilot Says

A U.S. Air Force F-15 was shot down over Iran, and the rescued pilot described witnessing a highly coordinated formation of Iranian drones described as a ‘minefield of drones.’ Four CNN sources say the drones operated in a mesh-like, interconnected system, prompting intelligence officials to assess whether such a swarm contributed to the downing. Officials are examining Iran’s capabilities and potential outside assistance, highlighting the global move toward coordinated drone warfare and advanced anti-drone defenses.
