They did test it with a prototype carrying air launched missiles at one point according to Ben Rich's biography, it would basically fly past at some ridiculous speed and altitude, drop a missile, and the missile would go do its thing. USAF decided against it, I don't remember why.

I think they really tried to get the uranium or something like that. Who are this pilot and weapons officer from the downed F15E? What are their names?
You would expect them to be paraded around but - nothing. It's because that wasn't the original objective of the operation.

I see you guys on a lot of boards. Where do you congregate? It's odd for laymen to care this much about vehicles they'll never operate.

>Really clumsy propaganda
I don't think you know what that word means, stop using it.
Military movie based on true story doesn't automatically equal "propaganda." That would make every war movie propaganda. Next time, just say, "I'm brown and hate America because they bombed my cousin" and we'll understand.

That was a fake cover story for a failed special op to recover uranium though

It's easy if you start in another jet. Here's the Iranian battlecam footage:
