US lawmaker admits heavy losses of 39 US aircraft in failed Iran campaign —— A senior US congressman revealed on Tuesday that Washington has lost 39 aircraft since the outbreak of hostilities with Iran on 28 February, citing data from a specialized defense publication. During a special Senate committee hearing, Democratic Congressman Ed Case questioned Pentagon officials regarding the staggering material costs of the conflict, noting that the reported losses are likely higher given that the data is nearly a month old. The figures, originally published by defense outlet The War Zone, indicate that while the US Air Force conducted nearly 13,000 sorties during the war, the attrition rate has been significant. The report claims that 39 aircraft were destroyed and 10 others sustained major damage, including the high-profile loss of a Boeing E-3 Sentry and an F-35A Lightning II fighter jet, which was reportedly hit while operating inside Iranian airspace. When pressed on the financial impact, Pentagon Chief Financial Officer Jay Hurst declined to provide immediate figures, stating that a "full diagnosis" is required before estimating the "retention cost" of the fleet.
