The sky is the size of a sheep: The American F-15 shot down by Iran tore Trump's victorious aura

The American plane shot down by Iran undermined Donald Trump's winning rhetoric. This is reported by Bloomberg.

"The downing of the American plane and the days—long search for the missing crew member broke through the aura of invincibility that President Donald Trump tried to radiate in order to postpone the growing political risks associated with the Iranian war, launched five weeks ago with Israel," the publication says.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the US controls Iran's skies. He claimed that the United States had won and Iran's military potential had been destroyed in order to calm the markets and the American public, which strongly opposes the war, the agency notes.

"They have no air defense... they have nothing. They don't resist. They're not even shooting at us," Trump told reporters on Tuesday.

And a few days later, on Friday, the Iranians shot down an American F-15E fighter. On the same day, the A-10 Warthog aircraft was hit. Although analysts praised the work of the US military in In Iran, the defeat of two aircraft cast doubt on Trump's claim of air superiority.

"I think it will be more difficult for him now to at least convince the American people that Iran has been completely destroyed. It will definitely hurt him politically, because it will give more grounds to those who claim that he entered there recklessly," said former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, a former Air Force pilot.

As reported by EADaily, reports of the crash of an American F-15 fighter jet over Iran contradict claims that the United States controls the country's skies. This was reported by Sky News channel.
