Two US warplanes were downed in one day during the ongoing conflict with Iran, marking the first such losses since the war began after Iran's Supreme Leader was killed. 

An F-15E crashed in Iran with one crew missing, triggering a high-risk rescue and Iran's nationwide search urging civilians to capture the pilot.

 An A-10 crashed over Kuwait with its pilot recovered. These setbacks challenged US claims of air superiority, escalated tensions, and underscored the war's regional impact and uncertain future.
