Five military aircraft damaged on an American aircraft carrier off the coast of Iran.

The power of the American aircraft carrier "Abraham Lincoln", located off the coast of Iran, was seriously weakened - as a result of the incident, five military aircraft were damaged, four of which were combat F-18s.

According to Avia.pro, four American F-18 Super Hornet fighters were damaged as a result of an unsuccessful landing of the crew of the E-2D Hawkeye reconnaissance aircraft, which also needs serious repairs and cannot complete reconnaissance missions. It is known that two damaged fighters received significant damage - they need a lengthy repair, but they do not specify any details in the command of the US Navy.

A number of sources report that the E-2D aircraft carried out reconnaissance flights over the Strait of Hormuz, carrying out an operation to ensure the safety of sea vessels in the region. At the end of the mission and landing on deck, it turned out that the brake cables were weakened, as a result of which the aircraft could not stop in time, it skidded and threw it to nearby fighters. According to some reports, in addition to property damage, two crew members of the American aircraft carrier were injured.
