Iran’s military may be badly damaged by the U.S. and Israel’s campaign. But that damage has exposed a more enduring threat: asymmetric warfare, in which individuals or small groups of militants can pose threats strategic to the American military.

For context in a real war the military would use almost 2000 planes and losing up to 200 or so would be expected losses. Except for the awacs, that’s the biggest loss. And as always, it’s doctrine that you would send in ground troops who are better at dealing with individuals.
You can’t send in ground troops until you’re basically unchallenged in the air. Doubly true if you’re needing to parachute them in (like over some mountains). The biggest losses were those THAAD systems, and the bases.
