A U.S. fighter jet was mistakenly shot down by an ally, an incident that has drawn international attention.

Now the United States is even more embarrassed! The truth has come to light, and it turns out that they were shot down by their own weapons! Netizens commented that the American F/A-18 Hornet has become a legend, fighting three against one! On March 4, foreign media reported that there was an investigation result about three U.S. F-15s being shot down. According to foreign media, the root cause was that a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet jet fighter accidentally shot down three U.S. F-15s while conducting air defense operations against Iranian drones in the skies over Kuwait. The Hornet fired three air-to-air missiles, which resulted in the shooting down of the aircraft.

Evidently, such an investigation result makes the United States even more embarrassed. Why say so? The weapons sold by the United States are supposed to have identification technology for friend or foe, right? Similarly, all are American-made weapons, but they failed to fight enemies and instead shot their own people. What a embarrassing situation. Moreover, the United States has always prided itself on its joint information command and combat capabilities. According to the logic, the scale of Iran's counterattack was far from reaching saturation attack levels. However, facing Iran's counterattack, the U.S. military aircraft and the Kuwaiti military air defense clearly fought separately without communication of information.

Why is the United States' coordination with allies so poor? Some netizens said that the American Hornet really became a legend, fighting three against one. But honestly, the reason given by the United States is still not convincing. Shooting down three aircraft at once is too surreal. If this is true, who would dare to put national security on American equipment anymore? Who would dare to fight side by side with the United States on the battlefield? It might be possible that one day the aircraft could be shot down by their own people, or perhaps by an ally. On the battlefield, you have to worry about the enemy as well as your own people, which is really hard to guard against.
