minus-squareSGGeorwell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-28 days agoDoes anyone else wonder why fuck-ass Kuwait our trusty ally, Kuwait, can just down three of our dudes all of a sudden? Just like that? Seems surprising.
minus-squarezaphod@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·8 days agoWhy not? They got western air defence systems like patriot.
minus-squaresapetoku@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·8 days agoThe US didn’t warn Kuwait. Kuwait was getting hit, they shot down unannounced/unknown military jets. I would have done the same.
minus-squareVoroxpete@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 days agoYes, isn’t it curious how three F-15s were shot down, all of them in combat at the time, and every single time it was those damn Kuwaitis. It’s almost like the US might have maybe decided that was less embarrassing than admitting that Iran hit three of their planes.
minus-squaretheunknownmuncher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·8 days agoIt’s genuinely way more plausible that Kuwait friendly fired than Iran being capable of downing them.
minus-squareEncephalotrocity@feddit.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·8 days agoIt’s kinda more embarrassing to say you had 3 elite pilots trying to land at an airfield during a drone swarm attack.
minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 days agoThey’re F15s, the older tech, and the American pilots were probably taken completely by surprise by the Kuwaiti attack.
