美军在阿富汗发动的反恐怖战争已接近尾声。与以往战争往往会留给人们许多谜团一样,这场战争也不例外。 美军究竟出动了多少飞机? 这本该是个最简单的问题,可在这次战争中却几乎成了一个谜。1991年的海湾战争,42天的战期,美军一共出动飞机近12万架次;1999年的科索沃战争,78天的战期,美军一共出动飞机近4万架次。这些统计数字,美军每天都通过新闻发布会进行宣布,人们只要进行累计便可。但是这一次却让人有些丈二和尚摸不着头脑。局外人一般只知道美军与英军的飞机每天都在轰炸,但不知道每天出动了多少飞机,出动了什么飞机。美军的发言人讲起来也是“欲抱琵琶半遮面”,连美国自己的媒体也抱怨政府对战争信息的封锁太过严密。 在10月7日开战之后的头几天,美军发

These statistics show that the U.S. military forces have announced through daily news briefings that people will accumulate as long as they can. However, this time, some monks and husbands are still puzzled. Outsiders generally only know that the U.S. and British planes bombed every day but did not know how many aircraft were dispatched each day and what aircraft they dispatched. The spokesman for the U.S. military also said that “they want to have half-covered faces,” even the U.S. own media also complained that the government’s blockade on the war message is too tight. The first few days after the war started on 7 October, the United States military forces
