A Lead Inspector General report reviewed by Sputnik says the United States suffered significant aircraft, helicopter and drone losses during its military campaign against Iran. More than 20 US aircraft and helicopters, along with over 30 large drones, were reportedly destroyed or damaged.
The report also estimates that the US spent $22.3 billion on munitions, with additional costs of $7.4 billion in incremental operations and $3.7 billion in equipment losses. The figures remain estimates because Congress had not approved a dedicated budget for the operation.
The report comes as Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi calls the reported damage to US military bases in the Middle East “the tip of the iceberg,” promising that Tehran will reveal more information.
