📰 Wall Street Journal Reportedly Claims:
🇮🇷 Iran reportedly launched more than 2,000 missiles and drone attacks targeting U.S. military bases.
According to the reported figures, 42 U.S. aircraft were damaged or destroyed, while the estimated overall financial losses to the United States reached approximately $13 billion.
⚠️ If accurate, the scale of these losses would highlight the enormous cost of modern warfare — where drones and missiles can impose billions of dollars in damage on even the world’s most advanced military forces.
The figures are significant and raise a major question:
How much can modern air defenses actually protect high-value military assets during a sustained missile and drone campaign?
