Video shows a U.S. Air Force C-295W from the 427th Special Operations Squadron flying low over the western Iranian desert.

The aircraft was part of the exfiltration effort for special forces operating behind enemy lines during the rescue mission.

The C-295W is a rare special operations platform used by the 427th SOS under AFSOC. Only a small number are in service. Built by Airbus in Spain, it is designed for short and unprepared runways, low level flight, and insertion and extraction missions in austere environments.
