bombers earlier.
You have specially trained special operators who have actually trained for years for some radioactive material recovery.
So they would be the tip of the spear.
That would be their job, to go in, to actually get it, to secure it.
Now, to secure them, you would actually need multiple ground forces who are around them to set a perimeter to make sure that ground operators would not, or some Iranian forces would not be able to come, swarm, and to capture them or kill them.
