At least 81 US military aircraft and drones have been either damaged or destroyed in the Iran-US war. These figures have been presented according to the report of ‘Congressional Research Service’ updated this week.
The destroyed aircraft include those whose loss has been publicly acknowledged by the army. Such as iran Plane destroyed during mission to rescue two pilots who crashed in. Also dozens of such drones about which the army has refused to give any information.
The report said that the 81 aircraft damaged or destroyed included 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones, 12 F-15E Strike Eagle jets, seven KC-135 Stratotankers (air refueling aircraft) and one F-35A Lightning II fighter jet.
This report gives information about the damage caused by the war because the army has not released any definitive list or report of the damage caused to equipment and military bases.
It is noteworthy that US President Trump repeatedly cites the India-Pakistan war that took place in May and says that 8 planes were shot down in this war. Now this information has come about the Iran-America war.
No attacks before midterm elections
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said on Thursday that he will not order the resumption of military strikes on Iran before the US midterm elections on November 3.
While campaigning for the Republican Party this week, Trump indicated that he was confident there could be an outcome to the war in the days before or after the election, and he also indicated that he might consider the option of resuming large-scale military action against Iran.
But Trump said in a post on social media on Thursday that the US will not attack Iran before the US mid-term elections on November 3.
