According to Trump, Iran has no air defenses.

I guess they brought down that F-15e with their spiritual defense grid.

He and Whiskey Pete make quite the echo chamber of bullshit when they're not off firing competent generals.

Every statement they make is a lie waiting for an audience.

@Kierkegaanks

AI (using Forbes as it's reference source gives the following summary:)

"As of January 2024, 131 USAF F-15 aircraft had been destroyed in mishaps, resulting in 59 fatalities. The F-15 has seen combat losses due to various incidents, including friendly fire and accidents during missions."

@mmiasma @Kierkegaanks That’s pretty much identical to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_F-15_losses why’d they give Forbes as the reference?

Dunno, looking at it again, I see that wikipedia was also listed so that would explain the similarity I guess. I should pay better attention.

@mmiasma this is also why I first go to Wikipedia. Yes you have to read a bit more but at least I’m creating my own summary
