That’s great. Thanks for posting.
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.
(Thankfully, ALL six American pilots have now been accounted for)
Thank God 🙏🛐🛐🙏✝️
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.
I love seeing a citizen from one of the countries we’ve assisted, showing some compassion and respect.
Exceedingly rare.
Hi!!!
Sorry for shooting you down out of the sky, glad you’re okay. My bad!
Don’t we use IFF anymore?
Very cool.
Uh, methinks we still don’t tend to activate our IFFs when we’re flying around the enemy (yes, we were not OVER the enemy).
Thank you for that. It actually brought tears to my eyes.....
Wait, you mean to tell me the AWUFL holding the pre-printed signs in marching down the street in New York or whatever don’t know what they’re talking about?
MSM not amused
Looks like the Kuwaiti’s will need to sell a days worth of oil to pay for those F15’s
Folks this is AI. Stop falling for videos on the internet
