A new post citing the Congressional Research Service says the U.S. has lost or sustained damage to 42 aircraft so far in the war with Iran.
Preston Stewart, a military commentator, posted on the CRS tallies.
The figures, if confirmed, would point to a significant toll across both manned and unmanned platforms, with drones accounting for the largest share of the listed losses.
The list comes as President Donald Trump has claimed Iran’s air force and navy are “completely gone” and warned that Tehran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon.
The Pentagon has not immediately released a full public accounting matching the aircraft-by-aircraft breakdown cited in the post.
