"The specific incident of a US F-15E ejection and rescue operation in Iranian territory (Event 14) represents a direct material loss and operational degradation. This event is a primary contributor to the broader assessment of significant material losses and the $500M daily cost described in the new event."
"The residential strike in Tehran attributed to the US-Israeli coalition (Event 15) indicates high-intensity kinetic engagement. Such operations inherently carry risks of asset attrition and contribute to the cumulative degradation of US military capabilities and the associated financial costs outlined in the new event."
"The IDF's direct strikes on Iranian Air Force and IRGC infrastructure (Event 3) involve US assets operating in a hostile environment. The intensity of these strikes against hardened targets is a causal factor in the reported degradation of US aircraft and radar systems."
