Missing combat loss[edit]

According to this Wikipedia page - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_combat_losses_of_United_States_military_aircraft_since_the_Vietnam_War

a B1 was shot down in Afghanistan.

This should be added here. 109.144.29.220 (talk) 02:05, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia cannot cite itself, so we need a reliable published source for the claim. There is a cited source in that article for the claim, but it's behind a paywall. Since I can't verify the claim, I won't add it. It does seem odd that an event that supposedly happened over 20 years ago is already the article, and I certainly don't remember hearing about it in 2001.

According to https://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/systems/b-1b-loss.htm there were two losses near Afghanistan, but neither were due to combat. Mysticdan (talk) 13:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
