Iran downs F-15, A-10 jets: First US combat aircraft losses in over 20 years

 Iran has shot down two US military aircraft, an F-15E Strike Eagle and an A-10 attack aircraft, marking the first such incidents in over two decades. Despite US claims of Iran’s weakened capabilities, these events highlight Tehran’s continued ability to retaliate, possibly with shoulder-fired missiles, even as US forces conduct extensive operations. Iran has shot down two US military aircraft, an F-15E Strike Eagle and an A-10 attack aircraft, marking the first such incidents in over two decades.
