国会研究服务处本周发布的一份报告称，在与伊朗的战争中，美国军方有81架飞机被毁或受损。报告指出，损失的飞机中包括美国军火库中一些最先进的武器，如F-35A战斗机和E-3哨戒机——该机拥有四台喷气发动机，机身上装有雷达圆顶，用于在交战中追踪目标和管理空域。MQ-9“死神”无人机占据了报告中所列损失的一半以上。
Eighty-one aircraft in the US military have been destroyed or damaged during the war with Iran, a Congressional Research Service report released this week said. Among the aircraft lost are some of the most advanced weapons in the US arsenal, including the F-35A fighter jet and the E-3 Sentry, which has four jet engines and a radar dome on its fuselage used to track targets and manage airspace during engagements.MQ-9 Reaper drones accounted for more than half of the losses found in the report.
“死神”无人机在伊朗战争中被用于情报收集、监视和侦察。报告援引国会预算办公室的数据称，自2月以来损失的飞机总价值在19亿美元至33亿美元之间。美国中央司令部估计，截至9月，与伊朗的持续战争已使美国累计花费约440亿美元。
Reaper drones are used in the Iran war for gathering intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The total cost of the aircraft lost since February is between $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion, according to the report, which cited figures from the Congressional Budget Office.US Central Command estimated that the ongoing war with Iran has cost the US roughly $44 billion total in September.
然而，据《华盛顿邮报》报道，该数字并未包括美国在中东基地基础设施所遭受的损失。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道称，部分受损飞机在修复后可能已恢复服役，其中包括在9月8日晚伊朗对约旦穆瓦法克·萨尔蒂空军基地发动袭击时受损的8架F-15“攻击鹰”战斗机。
However, that number does not include damage to infrastructure at US bases in the Middle East, according to reporting from the Washington Post.CNN reported that some of the aircraft may have returned to service after being damaged, including eight F-15 Strike Eagle fighter jets after they were damaged during an Iranian strike on the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on the night of September 8.
该报告审查了来自国防部、国防部监察长、中央司令部以及国会研究服务部（CRS）所审阅的外部媒体报道中的声明和数据。参议员指责五角大楼隐瞒信息由于国防官员不愿就伊朗战争的成本以及特朗普政府的《国防战略》向国会保持透明，两党对五角大楼的批评声日益高涨。
The report examined statements and figures from the Department of Defense; its inspector general; CENTCOM; and external media reports reviewed by the CRS. Senators accuse Pentagon of withholding informationBipartisan criticism of the Pentagon has mounted over defense officials' unwillingness to be transparent with Congress about the cost of the Iran war and the Trump administration's National Defense Strategy.
在与国防部副部长埃尔布里奇·科尔比及参议院军事委员会举行会议后，内华达州参议员杰基·罗森表示，科尔比“并不坦诚”，且“并未真正解决我们的关切或问题”。
Following a meeting with Defense Undersecretary Elbridge Colby and the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Jacky Rose of Nevada said Colby “was not forthcoming” and “did not really address our concerns or issues.”
本周发生的另一件事是，美国参议员克里斯·墨菲周二表示，他在访问中东期间，美国国防部拒绝让他进入卡塔尔的一个关键军事基地。他称这是美国政府试图掩盖伊朗战争影响的一部分。
In another instance this week, US Senator Chris Murphy said on Tuesday that the US Defense Department denied him access to a key military base in Qatar during a visit to the Middle East, describing it as part of a US government effort to conceal the impact of the Iran war."
“这次访问向我证实，目前正进行着一场积极的、史无前例的、违宪的行动，旨在向国会和美国人民隐瞒这场战争的代价及其影响，”墨菲在利雅得（他此次行程的第二站）对一群记者说道。
This trip confirmed for me that there is an active, unprecedented, unconstitutional effort underway to hide the costs of this war and the implications of this war from Congress and the American people," Murphy told a group of journalists in Riyadh, the second stop on his trip.
美国有线电视新闻网援引分析人士的话称，在中东的行动，包括伊朗战争以及与伊朗代理人的冲突，已经对MQ-9“死神”无人机造成了损耗。空军参谋长将军肯尼斯·威尔巴赫告诉国会，MQ-9是与伊朗战争中的“最有价值的球员”。美国军方据信拥有大约135架MQ-9无人机，空军时报在2026年5月报道了这一情况。军方仅今年就在中东失去了45架无人机，大西洋理事会将这种损失描述为“令人震惊的速度”。
Analysts cited by CNN said actions in the Middle East, including the Iran war and conflicts with Iran's proxies, have taken a toll on the MQ-9 Reaper drones. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Kenneth Wilsbach told Congress that the MQ-9 was the “most valuable player” in the war with Iran The US military is believed to have roughly 135 MQ-9 drones in its arsenal, the Air Force Times reported in May, 2026. The military has lost 45 of the drones in the Middle East just this year in what the Atlantic Council describes as losses at an “alarming rate.”
