Why do you say it’s AI?
Y’all turn off your IFF and you become a target everywhere.
My job in the USAF was to repair IFF’s.
and insert daily codes in aircraft.
Mode 4 is supposed to save your butt in friendly
American territory, but if you turn it off.
Good bye.
Thankfully we did not lose pilots, However those planes cost me and other Americans a lot of money.
Where are the chute lines? Polished english speaker approaching the pilot is typical of these AI type videos.
Absolutely. Plus saying, “THANK YOU for your help”. That tells so much.

If an ALLY can shoot us down so easily, we need to find out why. Any DEI involved?
Really? First we don’t know why they shot them down-bad IFF mode(s), not comss with their hq, not read in on the missions, aircraft involved... I always thought that painting stripes on the planes was counter-productive, i.e. everyone knew what to look for to target and what stopped the enemy from doing the same? That’s why we are grilled about aircraft and ground systems visual recognition.
Kuwait has apparently learned the art of Air Defense. Praise God everyone is ok. That is a miracle by itself.
Yup. People esp real Freepers pls heed Bayard.
Pilot response: “You’re very welcome. Thank you for saying so. Now, can you give me a lift to that F&(*$ Patriot missile site??”
I don’t think they are squinting through the sites of an 88 mm anti aircraft gun anymore.
Great video. The Kuwait people have not forgotten.
Nice. Thanks for sharing.
I believe it’s a female pilot.
For one thing, they're using our air defense systems.
Ha! Thank you, don’t think we shoot by visual any longer...
Split tail pilot
Air defense systems are no longer sight activated so any visual observation is non existant.
Friendlies are identified via whatever IFF frequency they are broadcasting.
They got shot down with our own weapons we gave Kuwait.
At least they knew how to use them... just against us though.
