Crash of the F-15E fighter jet

The downing of the F-15E fighter jet marks the first time such a US aircraft has been downed in combat in more than two decades, according to retired US Air Force General Houston Cantwell.

Cantwell, a former F-16 pilot, stressed that the lack of similar cases in recent years is related to the fact that the US has mainly fought against rebel groups without advanced anti-aircraft capabilities.

According to him, the fact that there were not more aircraft lost in the conflict with Iran testifies to the capabilities of American forces.

US Central Command announced that American forces have carried out over 13,000 missions and struck more than 12,300 targets during the war with Iran.

The last American plane shot down in combat was hit by an Iraqi surface-to-air missile over Baghdad on April 8, 2003. The pilot managed to eject and was rescued, according to the Air Force.

"The fact that this hasn't happened yet is an absolute miracle," Cantwell said. "We're flying combat missions and we're under fire every day."
