Trump has destroyed Iran's military, he's said, the war is 'pretty much' done. Just a few more weeks, now that it's... over. Iran's military has been destroyed and "have no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100 percent annihilated... We are unstoppable as a military force.”

So I sure hope they figure out who shot down that F-15 and A-10 since there's no way it was Iran. Which also caused the US to have to blow up two more aircraft that got stuck during the rescue operation.

“Casualty Cover-Up”: The Pentagon Is Hiding U.S. Losses Under Trump in the Middle East

But I thought the A-10 Warthog was "America’s Unstoppable Tank-Killer".

How many times has an A-10 been shot down before? According to an article from 2 years ago, the "airplane built around a gun" (designed in the late 1960s) has "only suffered seven complete aircraft losses". Six of those happened in 1991.
