America Hit Hard: Jets Down, Radars Gone; Billions Wiped Out As Iran War Bleeds U.S. Taxpayers
According to The Wall Street Journal, the early weeks of the ongoing US-Iran conflict have inflicted billions of dollars in military losses. The report details several incidents, including downed F-15 and F-35 jets, a mid-air collision between KC-135 refuelling aircraft that killed six crew members, and multiple drones destroyed. Iranian strikes have also targeted radar and support systems at bases across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan. At sea, the USS Gerald R. Ford experienced a fire and is undergoing repairs in Greece. In response, the Pentagon is preparing a $200 billion supplemental spending request to replace damaged systems and maintain operational readiness, according to the report.
