Pentagon - “Aircraft was damaged.”

Don't worry we've got the replacement coming off the line any day now! Oh wait I forgot we decided we didn't want or need the E-7.

Total USAF airframe losses or significantly damaged as a result of Iran as of 3/28/26:

*{3) F-15E fighters - $300M

* (11) MQ-9 Reapers - $330M

* (1) KC-135 crashed, 6 crew killed - $240M, priceless

*(6) KC-135 damaged - $1.44B

*(1) F-35 damaged - $135M

* (1) E-3 AWACS - $700M

Cost to replace: $3.145B

  • I propose a toast:  To the incompetence of Iranian aviation.  Hear, hear! And  on a positive note, congrats to President Raisi: he quit smoking yesterday!

What is the desired end state? No one seems to be able to explain it. If no one knows what the desired end state is, how can the American people define the cost they are willing to pay?

Take away (or at least reduce to max extent feasible) Iran’s ability to project any kind of influence, power, and/or destruction outside of their own borders.

Great. With Boeing’s track record for on-time success, they’ll be here any day now!

@No One , you could probably add between 1-3 destroyed KC-135s to that list, same attack as that E-3 that suffered a mere flesh wound.

I can promise you one KC-135 is not $240M.
