A single allied pilot flying an American-made fighter jet was responsible for downing three U.S. jets worth a combined $100 million.
Originally it was believed that surface-to-air missiles were responsible for Sunday’s friendly fire incident in Kuwait, where Iran launched retaliatory strikes against U.S. allies after President Donald Trump launched his military campaign.
Three F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury were “mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses,” forcing all six crew members to eject, U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
