国会报告统计：“史诗狂怒”行动中美国损失或损坏42架飞机
无人机遭受的打击最为严重，在报告列出的 42 架飞机损失中，有 25 架是无人机造成的。
来源:美国国防新闻网__五角大楼国会研究服务处本月发布的一份报告统计了 2 月 28 日开始的针对伊朗的为期 40 天的史诗愤怒行动中有 42 架美国飞机损失或损坏。这是五角大楼尚未按照自己的方式评估的对这场战争的最完整的公开记录。
5 月 13 日的报告《史诗般的愤怒行动中的美国飞机战斗损失：国会的考虑》根据新闻报道以及国防部和美国中央司令部的声明编制了这份清单。
CRS 是美国国会图书馆的无党派研究机构，其工作来源是开放的，无法获得机密损害评估。
CRS 作者指出，他们的统计“可能会因多种因素而受到修订，其中可能包括分类、正在进行的战斗活动和归属”。
The first losses came March 1-2, when a Kuwaiti Air Force F/A-18 Hornet mistakenly shot down three F-15E Strike Eagles over Kuwait. All six aircrew ejected and were recovered. The shoot-down occurred during active combat that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles and drones,CENTCOM said.
A fourth F-15E was shot down over Iran on April 3, with both crew members recovered in separate search-and-rescue operations.
A KC-135 Stratotanker went down over western Iraq on March 12 during a refueling sortie, killing all six aircrew. The crew members are the only fatalities on the CRS list. The loss was not the result of hostile or friendly fire, CENTCOM said. A second KC-135 involved in the same incident landed safely at Ben Gurion Airport in Israel.
两天后，伊朗导弹和无人机袭击了沙特阿拉伯苏丹亲王空军基地，导致地面上的另外 5 架 KC-135 受损，使加油机损失总数达到七架，加油机舰队的损失进一步增加。
An F-35A Lightning II took Iranian ground fire over Iran on March 19 and returned to base.
“Perhaps maybe the most valuable player was unmanned,” Wilsbach said. “No other platform is even close to the MQ-9.”
