The US military has another F-15 fighter jet crashed, Kuwait: This time it's not me
The specific cause of the crash of the first three aircraft has not yet been identified, and the US military has another F-15 crashed.
On Thursday local time, a well-known US military account revealed that an F-15E fighter jet crashed during the previous day's operation against Iraq, and the two pilots were later rescued by a search and rescue team that infiltrated into Iran. Although the cause of the crash is still unclear, according to sources, it is most likely caused by Iran's air defense system.
This military account has long served as a source for Western mainstream media, and its authenticity is reliable, although it has not yet been officially confirmed. Its followers include well-known figures, including Musk and White House Press Secretary Levitt, whom we are familiar with.
If the information is true, at least it indicates two points: First, Iran's air defense system is not completely inoperable as previously rumored, but continues to operate.
The US Air Force's tactical thinking seems somewhat outdated. A few days ago, it was mistakenly shot down by a friendly country, Kuwait, three F-15s, and now another one has been lost, clearly not learning from past mistakes and adjusting its tactics in time.
But to be fair, the emergency capabilities of US pilots are indeed excellent, with a 100% escape rate. As for combat capability, it's hard to evaluate, considering so many fighter jets have been shot down.
This also indirectly indicates that the US's long-range weapons may be in short supply, forcing them to risk sending fighter jets into Iranian airspace for operations.
Iran should also learn from this experience and set up pilot search teams within its own territory. If they can capture US pilots before the US and Israel, they can gain more leverage.
It is certain that this aircraft was not shot down by Kuwait. After the previous big blunder, Kuwait has become well known, and it is unlikely to actively show off in the near future.
