Iran downs F-15, A-10 jets: First US combat aircraft losses in over 20 years
Iran’s downing of two US military aircraft marks the first time in more than 20 years that American warplanes have been shot down by enemy fire, underlining Tehran’s continued ability to retaliate despite claims by US President Donald Trump that the country has been “completely decimated. Iranian state media also reported that a US A-10 attack aircraft crashed after being struck by Iranian air defences. Helicopters remain more vulnerable While fighter jet losses have been rare, other aircraft have faced greater risks historically.
