Multiple U.S. fighter jets were hit during an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Wednesday on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. It was estimated that 20 missiles in all were fired on the base.
Eight F-15 fighter jets reportedly sustained light damage from the Iranian attack. An A-10 Thunderbolt II experienced the most significant damage from the strikes, reportedly losing a wing as a result of the attack. The F-15 jets are highly regarded in the U.S. Air Force and are among the most feared fighter aircraft on the planet. The A-10 Thunderbolt II, more commonly known as the “Warthog,” is a jet aircraft used to support ground forces in combat.
