Three US fighter jets crashed in Kuwait on Monday due to an “apparent friendly fire incident,” the US military said in a statement.
Kuwaiti air defenses accidentally shot the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets down late Sunday evening ET time. All six crew members ejected safely, US Central Command said.
Kuwait’s defense ministry had said in the early hours of Monday morning that “several” US fighter jets crashed but did not specify exactly how many or what had caused it. The fighter jets each cost tens of millions of dollars.
quit the death cult;
Nah.......They are at war, the news is propaganda from both sides....enemy fire imo...."Kuwaiti air defenses accidentally shot the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets".......................Kuwait is better than US in air battles?
They were likely Patriot batteries, US-made SAMs
So he just triggered a 10+ country conflict, without a clearly stated objective or endgame.
I had heard about one, but three is surprising. Love seeing those tax dollars go up in fireballs of wreckage. (I guess it's good that nobody got hurt, though).
I wonder how common friendly fire incidents like this are with modern fighter jets. Coordination must be tricky.
