Three U.S. F-15 fighter jets shot down by U.S. over Kuwait.
We have four videos.
Three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets crashed
in Kuwait after being struck with friendly fire on Sunday.
In her press release, U.S. CENTCOM stated, quote,
At 11.30 p.m. Eastern Time, March 1st,
three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic
Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident.
Yes, we shot our own jets down.
U.S. CENTCOM added, the cause of the incident is under investigation.
we can't identify our own aircraft videos
of the incident show one of the f-15es on fire and
circling the air as it was free falling before eventually crashing
into the ground and again we have
four videos to watch per U.S. CENTCOM 11.30 p.m.
Eastern Time, March 1st, three U.S. f-15e strike
Eagles, flying in support of Operation Epic Fury,
went down over Kuwait due to an apparent
friendly fire incident.
During active combat that included attacks from Iranian aircraft,
ballistic missiles, and drones,
the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down
by Kuwaiti air defenses.
All six aircrew ejected safely and have been safely recovered
and are in stable condition.
Kuwait has acknowledged this incident
and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti Defense Forces
and their support in this ongoing operation.
CNN reported a bystander could be heard
in one of the videos that we will be watching
yelling, saying the jet falcon
was shot down by one of their own missiles.
We came here thinking it was going to be an Iranian jet.
it turned out to be an American jet.
Come on guys, get in the car. Let's go. The aircraft pilot
appeared to be ejected before impact and safely landed.
More footage appearing to be related to
the crash shows one of the pilots
from an F-15E who ejected lying in the back of a vehicle shortly
after landing. So all six have been recovered
and all six are in stable condition. Let's check this
out number one footage of an f-15 falling out
of the sky this morning over Kuwait an apparent
friendly fire incident involving the U.S. Air Force you can see it hit
and then it free falling
it's quite intense hit here the jet
is actually free falling it will catch fire then straight to
the ground i don't know how they ejected with all
the g-force that must have been hitting them at
the time this is an incredible move folks incredible
and you will see that i believe
they show impact here unbelievable just
in U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter
jet has crashed over Kuwait
in a friendly fire incident the pilot is alive
and ejected in time so watch this now ridiculous
Here comes the pilot.
Two of them.
But one of those chutes does not look very well deployed.
Unless that's the seat.
Should be two people aboard that jet.
And they did say all six
were in stable condition.
Probably his seat.
Unless the chute didn't open up properly for the other pilot.
Or so he's coming down pretty hard.
Alright, here is one of the pilots using SUVs, giving him high fives.
These are Kuwaiti military officers.
They have a Toyota Highlander, and that is the evac situation.
Definitely in stable condition.
That's the good news.
Footage appears to show the pilot
of an F-15 that reportedly a short time ago
in a friendly fire incident
of a Kuwaiti landed in the trunk of a vehicle.
And ladies and gentlemen, I don't know why they did this,
but the story itself had this link as well.
It's a repeat of the first F-15 that went down.
Again, very hard to eject when coming down like that.
So many Gs on the body.
And there should be two people ejecting.
I don't see any.
Let's hope that everybody did make it.
So with friends like these, who needs enemies, right?
It shows you how easy these are to shoot down.
It's like the Kuwaiti military shot all three of these down.
From what I can tell, I might be wrong,
but that is what it looks like in the confusion of the battle.
