🇰🇼🇺🇸🇮🇷Kuwaiti F/A-18 Accused in Multiple US F-15 Shootdowns Kuwaiti F/A-18 fighter jets are reportedly responsible for mistakenly shooting three American F-15s during air defense operations. Initial reports suggest the Kuwaiti pilot fired three missiles at the US aircraft, destroying all three F-15E Strike Eagles. All six crew members ejected safely from the downed aircraft. This incident contradicts earlier claims by Iran's Tasnim that its air defense systems downed a US F-15 over Iranian airspace. WSJ has provided further details, confirming the friendly-fire scenario involving a Kuwaiti Air Force Hornet. Iranian state media has now reported the downing of an additional American F-15 over Kuwait, further complicating the narrative of air defense engagements in the region. New reports indicate Kuwaiti service members were on edge due to Iranian drone activity shortly before the incident, prompting a nervous response when US F-15s were detected.
