Kuwait's air defense is shooting down American fighter jets en masse instead of Iranian drones.
Several US military aircraft crashed in Kuwait, the country's Ministry of Defense reported. The ministry explained that all pilots ejected and survived.
Kuwait and the US are working together to determine the causes of the crashes.
- said in a statement.
Let us recall that earlier in the American command recognized The fact that this morning, an F-15 fighter jet was shot down as a result of "friendly fire," and its pilot managed to eject. Video footage of the fighter jet's crash was published online.
However, other videos later emerged showing the crash of another American fighter jet. The differences are so obvious that there is no doubt that the US lost more than one combat aircraft. Furthermore, photographs of the pilots were also published.
It's important to emphasize that, when explaining the crash of one of the F-15 fighter jets, the US military command noted that the aircraft was scrambled to destroy Iranian drones. Air defense crews on the ground were also tasked with a similar mission.
However, they failed to correctly classify the aerial target and shot down an American fighter jet instead of an Iranian drone. Now it turns out this was done more than once.
As a reminder, military analysts previously expressed serious doubts that Middle Eastern states would have sufficient interceptor missile stockpiles to repel Iranian attacks if the conflict were to drag on.
