“damaged”
Just needs a good clean up
It’ll buff out.
“Runs when parked”
’tis but a scratch!
The back fell off.
At least it wasnt the front. Can’t have that happening.
Nothing that duct tape won’t fix.
Tis but a scratch
Wouldn’t have got damaged if you left that shit at home and stopped fucking with people.
Not old enough to remember, but did the us have similar losses during Bush’s war? Or is the military just completely incompetent now under the leadership of a bunch of pedos
Sort of. Iraq couldn’t hit back like this, but the US certainly suffered more losses over the entire war, just because of the duration.
Iraq didn’t have the equipment, training, or motivation to really resist the overwhelming US and coalition forces. Iran is better-equipped, better-trained, and has an almost fanatical devotion to the Ayatollah, especially in the IRGC. Iran is also upwards of 90% Shia, while Saddam was Sunni and repressed the ~60% Shia and Kurdish population.
Also Trump’s USA neither has a real coalition nor a foothold to launch an army from into Iran.
Well the US has a fanatical devotion to their pedo king, especially amongst maga, so much in common, they even prey to the sane god.
Iran is a completely different beast to Iraq.
Looks like it’s just one letter off.
Bruh, we’re invading the Fremen. This is how Trump burns down US military infrastructure the same as Russia did theirs.
Way to leave China as the undisputed world power there.
Which one? The first Bush-Iraq war? Yep. Not as blatant,but generally yeah.
The second one? Nope, the country pretty much was in shambles already.
Coalition losses during 1991 Desert Storm were around 300. For the 2003 invasion and occupation, the losses were of about 5000. Though I think they lost more aircraft during the former.
To put it simply, the US did lose more troops and equipment in 1991 and 2003 than currently, but also achieved their objectives, so to speak.
Then again, the 1991 war was a real war with with close to 1 million troops taking part. Currently, what we have is basically two countries lobbing missiles at each other.
Ironically, in 1991, it was the US that was using drones against Iraq. Tables have kinda turned.
As the title says, its clearly just “damaged”, not “lost” or “destroyed”, right. The front part and the very back edge of the tail look perfectly fine– just dirty is all. Shouldnt be counted as a loss, merely in need of repair. Our fleet of AWACS remains at 16.

The front didn’t even fall off, clearly just damaged.
