Wow, this is even worse if true. Kuwait F18 shot down 3 US F15s. Pilot's license to kill needs to be revoked.
Funny to think that CENTCOM operates out of Florida and they can command from thousands of miles away; there is always the possibility of human errorThey (F15's) obviously knew the F18 was supposed to be friendly and didn't do any avoidance. How could the Kuwaiti F18 not know the F15's were USA?
Initial reports from CENTCOM stated the jets were "mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses." More recent reports (as of today, March 3) suggest a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet may have been responsible, allegedly firing three missiles that downed all three American jets.
The Outcome: Miraculously, all six aircrew members (three pilots and three weapons systems officers) ejected safely. They were recovered in stable condition, with some assisted by Kuwaiti civilians on the ground.
I'll believe this as much as just about anything else the government says. More likely IMO that Kuwait agreed to be the scapegoat for something else.Initial reports from CENTCOM stated the jets were "mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses."
