2026 Iran Conflict — Military Losses Tracker

176 documented military equipment losses since 28 February 2026 — 145 aircraft and 31 naval vessels (Iran 78, United States 73, Israel 21). Latest recorded event: 21 September 2026.

Overview

In late February 2026, the United States and Israel launched coordinated military strikes against Iran — codenamed Operation Epic Fury and Operation Roaring Lion — targeting nuclear facilities, air defense systems, and missile infrastructure. Iran retaliated with ballistic missiles and drones against US military installations across the Persian Gulf and targets in Israel. The conflict rapidly expanded into a regional crisis involving extensive air, naval, and ground operations, with several Gulf states drawn into the fighting. A ceasefire brokered by Pakistan — the Islamabad Memorandum — was announced on 14 June 2026, but the framework collapsed the following month and US and Israeli strikes resumed in July 2026, alongside renewed Iranian attacks on US bases in the Gulf and Jordan. This page tracks documented air force losses, naval losses, and strike events throughout the conflict.
