Three U.S. F-15E fighters have gone down over Kuwait in an “apparent friendly fire incident,” according to U.S. Central Command.
The incident took place at 11:30 Eastern Time on Sunday, a CENTCOM news release says.
“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,” the news release says.
All six of the aircrew safely ejected, have been recovered, and are in stable condition, the news release says.
The Kuwaiti armed forces have confirmed ‘several’ U.S. combat aircraft have crashed, apparently from friendly fire according to reports on social media. This is not confirmed.
Video online show two different F-15E Strike Eagle crashes, engulfed in flames. One of the aircraft looked to have been downed by a missile seeking the engine heat. Again, not confirmed.
The crews are reported safe and in good health.
