Reports by the Anadolou news agency estimate that the US may have spent roughly $779m during the first 24 hours of Operation Epic Fury. The pre-strike military build-up, including repositioning aircraft, deploying more than a dozen naval vessels and mobilising regional assets, is estimated to have cost an additional $630m.

According to the Center for New American Security, it costs approximately $6.5m a day to operate a carrier strike group, such as the USS Gerald R Ford.

But experts suggest the bigger concern may not be the financial sustainability, but the inventory.

“It is reasonable to speculate that the pace of operations right now, in terms of numbers of interceptions, could not continue indefinitely, certainly, and perhaps could not continue for more than several weeks,” Peble said.

I'm sure a good majority of these boats may have been in port before and now incurring more costs but wouldn't this be coming out of costs from a different side of their operating budget?

sure the rockets and missiles their firing off are costs but those were already purchased.....but here's the war machine going to work

Good job Kash Money!

https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/03/polit...n-firings-iran

Just days before the United States launched a major military operation in Iran, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen agents and staff members from a counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring threats from Iran, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s alleged retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

As a result, Patel hamstrung the Washington, DC-based FBI counterintelligence unit, known as CI-12, which handles cases ranging from mishandling of classified documents to tracking foreign spies operating on US soil.

The dismissals have added to concern inside the Justice Department and FBI that counterterrorism and intelligence investigations in the wake of the military operation in Iran could be hampered by a mass exodus of national security experts, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

And like the CI-12 unit, several senior officials were ousted or reassigned because of their involvement in Trump-related investigations, sources say. The removals have cost the Justice Department and FBI decades of combined experience in identifying the types of threats that sources say could appear in the wake of Operation Epic Fury.

The major cost is probably the ordinance but soldiers are also paid more when they are deployed for combat and then you have all the costs of restocking, lost equipment, I mean those 3 F15's they lose yesterday are probably worth 100 million each and that's just a Monday morning whoopee. War ain't cheap, it's one of the main reasons for the size of the US debt.

Fafo, I don't think they can get a regime change without boots on the ground look at how long Gaza took, and I wouldn't call that great success. What did Trump say Ukraine and Russia will be over in 24-48 hours?

I was going to question the validity of this interview. Lost me at "we're controlled by secret societies."

There's something very AI'd about this "Professor Jiang" as well.

"We won" ... 6 months later, a 2.0 version of 911 happens as all sleeper cells are activated in the US now.

They would say it's Joe Biden's fault for letting in trash and firing CIA agents!

It's crazy how my own thoughts of the USA in these wars has shifted.

Afghanistan: Yeah Fuck up those terrorists bastards!

Iraq: Well I don't really believe your story about WMD's, but I wish you luck and hope you're successful.

Iran: I hope you get a big fucking bloody nose from this and it's Vietnam 2.0 you bastards.

America never learns its lesson. They dumped over $2 trillion into Afghanistan and still couldn’t defeat a cave dwellers armed with weapons from the 80's because they handed the country back to the same people they were fighting. AndSyria was effectively handed over to a guy who had previously fought and killed US forces and, at one point, had a $10 million bounty on his head.

Now they think the way to win over Iranians is to spark a CIA funded civil war and install a puppet leader chosen by Israel. It’s insanity
