Thank God everyone is safe. When I saw the headline last night about our fighter jets being shot down my heart sank but then I read they all safely ejected and I breathed a sigh of relief. I dont think Kuwait did that on purpose they have been bombarded in recent days with missile fire I think their automatic system made a mistake, the most important thing is everyone is OK

If you have to punch out, doing over “friendly” territory is much preferred to punching out over the people you just bombed ...

Looks like there’s a good role for the Saudis, Kuaities, and others in thihs war: they can run guns to the Iranian Freedom Fighters.

Friendly Fire shootdown because there is no red white & blue
Star n bar on these F15’s. Indistinguishable from a MiG29 at high speed.It’s all grey. Even my cat can figure this one out ..At least Normandy P47’s had 3 white wing stripes. They could at least paint the tail or wings yellow or red and go 7700 ...Whoo is in charge of this nonsense?

The Kuwaitis don’t want to live in the same neighborhood with Ayatollahs.

It doesn’t appear to be a malicious attack, it’s just another ‘accident’ that happens when your nation is being bombed by Iran and your system doesn’t distinguish targets.

That is a very young looking pilot. Can’t tell if it’s a dude or a girl though.

Would be extremely dangerous for a female pilot to drop bombs onto those Mullahs seeking 72 virgins.

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.

If an ALLY can shoot us down so easily, we need to find out why. Any DEI involved?
