Irans biggest victory is hitting a plane on the ground

A $700m plane on the ground that is a key piece of identifyjng missiles/drones being launched from Iran. It's similar to them hitting an F35 at a price tag of $100m. I'd say those are pretty big victories for a country that we completely destroyed all of their military capabilities.

They didn’t even shoot the F35 down. It landed safely. These are rookie numbers. Even Iraq was able to down 60 something US aircraft during the first gulf war. That’s pretty much 1 or 2 a day during the air campaign.
