A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report reveals that at least 81 U.S. aircraft, valued between $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion, were lost or damaged during \"Operation Epic Fury\" against Iran. The report highlights significant losses of fighter jets and drones, sparking criticism over the war's cost and the effectiveness of U.S. military strategy against Iranian defenses.
James Kaufman will news report today.
At least 81 U.S. aircraft worth up to $3.3 billion lost
or damaged in the Iranian war so far.
The damage documented in a Congressional Budget Office report comes
as Trump faces criticism over the war's cost.
At least 81 United States military aircraft, including fighter jets
and drones, have been lost or damaged during Operation Epic Fury,
the codename for Washington's military campaign against Iran,
launched earlier this year.
ladies and
gentlemen
I know
how so many
of these
aircraft were
lost that
y'all don't
I hear the
four
the four
birds here
little birds
those were the
ones that they
were going to
take out of
the C-130s
in the middle
of the night
when the
F-15 got
shot down
with the two
pilots
and instead
they blew up
our C-130s
and our
little birds
we blew up
those aircraft ourselves.
I just pray that our special forces were not still on board.
You can't trust this government.
These statistics come as part of a report released on Monday
by the Congressional Budget Office, the CBO,
a non-partisan government agency that provides
budget-related research to the legislature branch
of this screwed-up government that we pay for
and fund. It is estimated that as of August 1st,
the cost of the American aircraft losses during
the U.S.-Israeli war, quote-unquote,
against Iran was between $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion,
Probably much more than that
It's another feel-good propaganda story
By the legislature and the government itself
The report this week highlights the growing price tag for this war
Which is only costing taxpayers
Not only the cost of gas
But the 3.3 billion plus dollars
The report this week highlights the growing price tag for the war
Which began on February 28th
The lasting ceasefire has remained out of reach
as the conflict continues to grow, really, after its eighth month.
Iran was completely underestimated, and this shows that small countries
with not so much small militaries can inflict damage
on the world's best militaries,
said Harlan Omar, a former naval officer
and chairman of the Kilimanjaro Group, a government advisory firm.
He told Al Jazeera that Iran has managed to achieve a degree of success
in damaging U.S. military hardware and bases in the Middle East.
Ladies and gentlemen, the numbers that we're getting as far as troops
and aircraft, well, it's Smith-Mund modernization propaganda.
Quote, Iran has plenty of U.S. targets available, and you cannot
imagine what small drones can do to a major military asset.
We've seen examples of this in the Gulf countries during the conflict.
Monday's report listed 12 F-15E Strike
Eagles, 1 F-35A Lightning II,
and 7 KC-135 Strato-Tankers among some
of the aircraft affected.
45 of the 81 aircraft identified
in the report were MQ-9 Reaper drones.
Now, I want to go into this because this is really important.
I want you to listen to this, because this is how it went down.
We had two F-15s actually escorting these MC-130
commando prop planes into Afghanistan.
These are prop planes. This is the wrong picture.
They landed just south of the enrichment facility
in Iran, and then they each had two
little birds in them. We had 81 of our best special forces on board,
and they were immediately hit
with gunfire from the mountain to the north.
I don't think they ever got out of the planes. It
looks like we might have blown up our own C-130s, yes blown up
our own C-130s and our best 81 men
and our little birds all together they said
the little birds rescued the second pilot well that
turned out to be a lie we saw on infrared it
was actually a Jolly Green II that rescued so
So maybe a Seahawk that rescued.
They looked pretty much similar.
But you know what?
No little birds were involved in the rescue.
They were actually headed to the enrichment zone
on a 3:45 in the morning strike.
And as soon as the two C-130s landed,
they were taken out by heavy 50-cal gunfire.
And our 81 best troops that we have were stuck inside the C-130s.
They used everything they could for, well, everything they could
to try to fight off the enemy embedded in the mountain.
And we had no air support from an A-10 Warthog
or Apaches or anything.
The whole thing is a botched, crummy, crummy operation.
The two pilots, again, that went down in the F-15 Strike Eagle,
one of them recovered immediately, one of them recovered within 48 hours
by, again, either a Seahawk or a Green II.
Well, little birds had nothing to do with it.
That was just another lie by the Pentagon.
They hate me because I know the exact true story.
They were headed for the Furlong enrichment site
after that 60 ounces of 60% enriched uranium.
And they were going to land just one mountain over.
Little did they know that mountain was embedded,
embedded with heavy, heavy machine guns.
And they never made it out.
Let me prove that we blew up our own two C-130s now.
I just hope we got the crews out and the soldiers out.
But I seriously doubt it.
The saddest thing I've ever seen.
These are all Iranians back here.
This is one of our C-130s carrying 40
of our special ops agents
and two blackbirds or baby birds, and that's the other one over there.
And it looks like we blew them up ourselves,
and we sure better have gotten those troops out of there.
I know this was for furlong enrichment site.
It's only 10 miles from there.
and they couldn't take off because of the heavy sand
and they got hit by heavy machine gun fire.
Those are the facts. That's how we lost the four little birds,
the F-15, and these two C-130s.
This is embarrassing and Trump better come clean
or I think I just have for him, correct?
please share so everyone knows what really happened it
was a 3:45 a.m. secret strike that
went extremely bad god bless please share
and subscribe and always remember folks anything's
possible bizarro world god bless
