Iran downs another US jet

The downing of the A-10 follows the confirmed loss of an F-15E Strike Eagle, marking a rare and significant hit against US air power.

While the pilot of the A-10 was safely rescued, the incidents challenge US claims of total air superiority in the region.

Iranian officials have used the events to warn that American jets will be 'shot down one by one' if operations continue.

The Pentagon has admitted that hundreds of US servicemembers have been wounded since the conflict began.

The loss of multiple manned aircraft in a single day represents a major tactical shift in the war.
