Congressional report tallies 42 US aircraft losses in Operation Epic Fury

A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report published on June 4, 2026, revealed that 42 U.S. aircraft were lost or damaged during Operation Epic Fury, a 40-day military campaign against Iran that concluded with a ceasefire in April. The report confirmed 6 fatalities from a KC-135 Stratotanker loss in Iraq and detailed the significant expenditure of Tomahawk, THAAD, and Patriot missiles. The findings suggest it may take over three years to restore critical weapon inventories to pre-war levels.
