The only people I've seen claiming they were shot down right now are the Taliban. They always claim aircraft were shot down. The unfortunate facts about waging a war in the mountains is that infil and exfil suck. Foot/vehicle movements are brutally hard and time consuming. Air movements are dangerous as hell. Terrain, weather and altitude all play merry hell with the equipment.

They may very well have been shot down. But I won't believe it until a spokesman for USFOR-A or SOCOM confirms it.
