US Air Power Challenged: Iran Downs F-15, War Enters Dangerous Phase
Five weeks into the conflict, the air war between the United States and Iran has entered a far more dangerous phase. While the US still maintains significant control of the skies, it is no longer uncontested. In a major development, high-value American air assets-including an F-15 and an A-10-have been targeted, with one jet reportedly shot down and others coming under fire during rescue operations. Helicopters, tankers, and surveillance aircraft have also faced increasing threats, highlighting a clear shift in battlefield dynamics.
