So far, one F15, one A10 and one, maybe two Blackhawks lost. [View all]

And that is what is being made public. Good job, Donny and Pete!

So much for the bragging about having destroyed Iran's air defense capabilities. I am sure neither of these idiots is listening to the military leadership.

Speaking of this, is it legit to bomb civilian infrastructures like bridges, or is it a war crime? If so, why is the air force carrying out unlawful orders?
