TRUMP'S COSTLY WAR

 The reported loss of 7 F-35 stealth fighters at Al Dhafra Air Base in the UAE has become one of the most controversial and viral topics of the current conflict. The official situation is a mix of confirmed structural damage and unverified aircraft losses.


During a massive "saturation attack" by the IRGC involving Fattah-3 hypersonic missiles and Shahed-type drones, several projectiles penetrated the advanced air defense layers (including THAAD and Patriot systems) protecting Al Dhafra.

Satellite imagery from Airbus Defence and Space (dated March 12 and 15) confirms that at least three to four reinforced aircraft shelters (HAS) in the northwestern and southeastern sectors of the base were hit directly. These hangars show collapsed roofs and significant fire-blackening.

However, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has not confirmed the loss of any F-35s on the ground. They have acknowledged "minor structural damage" and injuries to personnel but have remained silent on specific airframe losses.

NOTE: I dont expect CENTCOM to come out with the truth in any case. It will be too embarrassing for Trump and his war cause.

The USCENTCOM has already lost 7 KC-135 refuellers either destroyed or damaged. That in itself is a major blow. Additionally the loss of upto 5 F-15E fighters, three shot by the Kuwaiti pilot that they could not hide, two additional are known shot down, one over Iran and one in Iraq.

While the F-35 losses remain unconfirmed, other high-value assets were definitely affected. At least one (and possibly two) of the UAE’s Saab GlobalEye AEW&C aircraft was destroyed or severely damaged inside a destroyed hangar. shelters housing MQ-4C Triton or MQ-9 Reaper drones were among those struck.

LATEST NEWS SAYS............

A U.S. Air Force F-35 was struck by Iranian ground fire during a combat mission over Iran today. The pilot managed to fly the damaged aircraft back to a "regional base" (likely in Jordan or Saudi Arabia) for an emergency landing. The pilot is safe, but the aircraft sustained significant damage.

Getting a bit too expensive for Trump

1 X Aircraft carrier out of combat service
7 X KC135 Aerial tankers destroyed/damaged
5 X F-15E combat jets lost
At least 1 X F-35 confirmed significantly damaged.
7 X F-35 destroyed on ground(uncofirmed but most likely true)
A couple of Billion dollars worth Radars and missile systems destroyed.

Officially 13 US service personnel already deceased, probably more. A couple of hundreds injured and out of combat.
