WASHINGTON (NewsNation) — More than 40 aircraft, including unmanned drones, have been either lost or damaged in Iran, according to a congressional report.

The report, which cites news reports and statements by the Defense Department and U.S. Central Command, says 42 “fixed-wing or rotary-wing aircraft, including uncrewed aircraft (i.e., drones)” have been lost or damaged during Operation Epic Fury.

“The conflict has involved air, maritime, and missile combat engagements across the Middle East. The pace of combat activity declined amid a ceasefire in April. Within weeks, some strikes resumed, and conditions remain fluid,” the report reads.

That's a nothing burger.

There is such a wide variety of material and damage sources that this means virtually nothing.
