US operations against Iran: $1.9 billion in losses
New information has emerged regarding Washington's material losses following US military operations against Iran. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to calculations provided by Anadolu Agency, the US has so far lost approximately $1.902 billion worth of military equipment and infrastructure. However, these figures are based on Anadolu Agency's own data and have not been fully confirmed by the Pentagon across all items.
The largest loss occurred at the Al-Udeid base in Qatar. According to TRT World and Anadolu Agency, the AN/FPS-132 early warning system there was struck, with an estimated value of $1.1 billion.
Reuters has not independently verified this figure, so this information should be considered as an agency report. The situation in Kuwait also drew attention.
The US Central Command announced that three F-15 aircraft were involved in a "friendly fire" incident and stated that all crew members survived. However, no final conclusion has been made regarding the value of these aircraft or whether they were indeed shot down by Kuwait, as the investigation is still ongoing.
According to Anadolu, the value of the three F-15E fighters is estimated at $282 million, but this figure has not been officially confirmed. Damage to the THAAD defense system in the UAE was also noted, with an estimated value of $500 million.
However, there is no independent confirmation of this episode by the Pentagon or Reuters. Additionally, Anadolu reports that the US Fifth Fleet supply point in Bahrain was also struck, but this part has not been independently verified either.
Overall, the US has sustained actual losses, but the total $1.902 billion figure is based on Anadolu Agency's assessment. Therefore, it is appropriate to consider these numbers not as fully confirmed final calculations but as preliminary economic estimates.
