At this point why not make it millions? Millions of Iranian jets have been shot down! It sounds better.

US jets are massively more expensive and supposed to represent the state of the art. While the models used by Iran are considered to be museum pieces by any country that can afford more modern ones.

Much more relevant to the current conflict is that it invalidates the claim that Iran's air defense capabilities are gone.

Your English is good, but the (probably smartphone keyboard) typo revealed you :-).
