A Defense Department inspector general report estimates that "Operation Epic Fury" has incurred approximately $33.4 billion in costs, primarily driven by expended munitions and significant losses of strategic weapons. The report indicates that the conflict resulted in the destruction of four F-15 fighter jets and up to 30 MQ-9 Reaper drones, while also exposing critical industrial base bottlenecks and resupply shortfalls.
Additionally, the summary states that Iranian strikes damaged or destroyed hundreds of structures at US bases across eight Middle Eastern countries.
