Ones Ready Ops Brief 142: Daily Drop - 6 Apr 2026 - Eagle Claw 2.0? F-15 Rescue, Little Bird Down.
Peaches breaks it down—this isn’t theory anymore.
A Little Bird destroyed in Iran, multiple aircraft hit, and the second F-15E crew member recovered after evading in the mountains. This wasn’t clean. This wasn’t easy. This was real.
And yeah… people are already calling it Eagle Claw 2.0—but this time, it worked.
Peaches dives into what actually matters: the brutality of these missions, the insane level of coordination, and why this should be a wake-up call for anyone pretending fitness or preparation doesn’t matter.
Then he pivots—budget fights, munitions shortages, and the reality that we’re burning through capability faster than we can replace it.
Bottom line: you just watched what happens when everything is on the line—and the only thing that matters is bringing people home.
