A United States Army CH-47F Chinook military heavy-lift tandem-rotor helicopter was hit by one of the recent Iranian strikes on Camp Buehring in Kuwait, according to photos that surfaced online on April 4.
Camp Buehring, a huge staging post in northwestern Kuwait, serves as the primary location for the U.S. Army’s Middle Eastern Theater Reserve. It provides critical live-fire ranges in the wider Udairi Range Complex area, in addition to desert-familiarization training meant to prepare tens of thousands of troops for combat operations in the region.
The post is capable of hosting dozens of helicopters, and has an airstrip especially for military cargo aircraft and combat drones.
The Chinook hit there was very much destroyed. The photos from the Camp show the helicopter’s cockpit area torn apart, with visible destruction to the forward rotor assembly and front blades.
A new Chinook helicopter generally costs between $32 million and over $60 million, depending on configuration, spare parts, and support packages.

The U.S. took a series of aerial losses on April 3, with an F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet and an A-10 Thunderbolt II attack jet getting shot down while on mission against Iran. One of two crew members of the F-15E has been rescued, while the fate of the second remains unclear. The pilot of the A-10 was also rescued.
In addition, a UH-60 Black Hawk and two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters were damaged while taking part in search and rescue operations.
There were also some reports of an F-16CJ Wild Weasel fighter jet — specialized in hunting air defenses — and two KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling tanker aircraft facing some issues over Iraq, and Israel, respectively.
As the war drags on, the U.S., and even Israel, will take more aerial losses. While this is expected in any conflict, both countries went into the war against Iran more than a month ago with the precipitation that they can deal a blow to the Islamic Republic with no cost.

ziorats cant beat iran lol
assad and putler destroyed iran because they betrayed syria. i hope the american democrats kill both of them with atomic bombs in moscow.
atomic bombs dropped on moscow are the only thing that would adequately punish putin and assad.
the only thing that needs removing is the jewish parasite in the usa government and european, ukranian, russian and syrian and gulf state governments respectively. the jews want to escalate further and further making us fight each other until we have a atomic exchange and we should not allow that to happen. no more wars for israel its time to dismantle the zionist colonial project
good luck clown. 🤡
dearie dearie me. trumpy’s little aeroplanes are being swatted like flies.
but, but the trumpster said the us has air superiority.
fake claims. it’s not destroyed. it has signs of hard winning! bend the rotor back, put some spackle here and over there, put some chewing gum underneath and some duct tape on top, get a new paint job, and it’s as good as new!
a little bondo and paint good as new
tulsi resign your a looser now go down with trump ship
this chopper looks like a cartoon character so funny
hahaha exactly like the cigar that blew right up in their faces. they deserve it. i hope iran dismantles all of usas bases and equipment in the region. no more jewsa colonialism. its time to free the whole western world from jewish/zionist subversion. these unhinged kikes are only sawing d eath and destruction. any american fighting this war is fighting it for israel alone the jews who spit on them for being christian. its time these usa evangelical boomers wake up or loose their power.
trump: nothing’s broken yet. we will fix it and it will fly again.
