Three US F-15 fighter jets were accidentally shot down over Kuwait by Kuwaiti air defense systems. The crew members were able to evacuate safely and are in stable condition, according to the US Middle East Command (Centcom).
These were three F-15E Strike Eagles. They were participating in Operation Epic Fury against Iran. They were shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses due to so-called friendly fire, in which either friendly or allied forces targeted the aircraft.
