  • I propose a toast:  To the incompetence of Iranian aviation.  Hear, hear! And  on a positive note, congrats to President Raisi: he quit smoking yesterday!

    I don’t think killing Iranians is an appropriate level of response for them shooting down a robot.  One of the advantages of RPAs is we can lose a few.  Had they killed aircrew, let’s start collecting

Well, that happened...the Ayatollah is dead.

Seems odd that Iran decided to drone strike civilian airports in response (amongst other strikes).

Wonder what's next.

One of the unexpected benefits of once again relieving the world of "WMDs and Terror" is that it's also a logistical attack on China.

More than 40 years in the making. About damn time.

Kuwait's Minister of defense said "several U.S. military aircraft have crashed." Here's hoping they all got out.

Looks like an Eagle is down.

TWO Eagles are down...Possibly THREE, all friendly fire, thanks Kuwait.

Last I saw all four survives. Kuwait air defense popped both of them.

Fuckin wild man. 6 for 6 on all getting out and being upright though, can't ask for a better outcome than that.

Fucking miracle.

Nice to see our "allies" are prepared and trained to use all that fancy equipment they buy from us.

3 Strike Eagles down over Kuwait. Blue on Blue. All made it out. Some wild pics and vid out there of the crews.

Good to know all those seat inspections from a few years back seem to have been successful 🤔

Does this mean the F-15 is no longer 101-0?

But seriously, glad everyone got out. Hopefully someone can go over some TTP's with the Kuwaiti ADA guys...

US Navy trained them

Really glad they all got out, almost unbelievable result from a (assumed) Patriot engagement.

Huge screw up by the armed forces of Kuwait but if you have spent anytime there they still remember we came to help in 1991. Crazy footage of a local helping one of the downed aircrew.

Kuwait will be buying 6 of these,

And 3 of these

Saudi F-15Ses have been downed to SAMs as well, so the perfect record stands I think?

weren’t there USAF F-15E losses back in Desert Storm?

Since the month just rolled over, maybe they didn't have the right IFF codes....or maybe the Kuwaitis are that stupid.

I remember F-16 and A-10 losses during DStorm but don’t remember any F-15 loses.

Isn't that 101-0 the Albinos stat line? I think some Mudhens were downed in Desert Storm.
