US aircraft losses in Iran war nearly double in congressional report
Original: US aircraft lost or damaged in Iran war nearly doubles in latest congressional report
A latest congressional report says the number of US aircraft lost or damaged during the war with Iran has nearly doubled compared with earlier figures, according to Military Times. The revised tally suggests the campaign's toll on American air assets was significantly heavier than initially acknowledged, prompting questions about how the Pentagon assessed battle damage and what it means for the fleet's readiness.
Why now: New official figures substantially raise the previously reported cost of the Iran conflict for US air power, drawing attention to possible understatement of battle damage.
