This episode examines the revelation that a CASA C295W—built in Seville—was involved in a covert U.S. rescue mission following the downing of an American fighter jet near the Strait of Hormuz. Operated by U.S. special operations forces for discreet infiltration and extraction, the aircraft highlights the global strategic role of Spain’s aerospace industry. We also discuss how these unmarked tactical transports are used in highly sensitive missions and why they are so critical in hostile environments where secrecy and rapid evacuation are essential.
