minus-squareSGGeorwell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-22 months 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-up13·2 months agoWhy not? They got western air defence systems like patriot.
minus-squaresapetoku@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·2 months agoThe US didn’t warn Kuwait. Kuwait was getting hit, they shot down unannounced/unknown military jets. I would have done the same.
minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months agoThey’re F15s, the older tech, and the American pilots were probably taken completely by surprise by the Kuwaiti attack.
minus-squareVoroxpete@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down3·2 months 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-up8·2 months agoIt’s genuinely way more plausible that Kuwait friendly fired than Iran being capable of downing them.
minus-squareEncephalotrocity@feddit.onlinelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 months agoIt’s kinda more embarrassing to say you had 3 elite pilots trying to land at an airfield during a drone swarm attack.
