| 2026-03-03 |
| [RedState] As RedState’s Ben Smith reported earlier Monday, three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down in what is being described as a friendly fire incident. Kuwaiti air defenses reportedly shot them down accidentally, but all six aircrew managed to eject safely, have been recovered, and are in stable, pH balanced condition. Now, there are multiple photos and videos circulating on social media that claim to show the airmen during and after the incident. They have not been officially confirmed, but there are no "community notes" on the posts, and CENTCOM has not disavowed them. Multiple reports indicate that at least some of the pilots were rescued by grateful Kuwaitis: — Christa Hotz (@secretswiss) March 2, 2026 Related: Kuwait: 2026-03-02 'Friendly Fire'.... takes down 3 jets in Kuwait Kuwait: 2026-03-02 RAF base in Cyprus 'is hit by Iranian drone': Ministry of Defence confirms blast and says it is monitoring 'live situation' Kuwait: 2026-03-02 DM liveblog: All US servicemembers warned about 'active threat' against phones as Uber and Snapchat are considered compromised - live updates |
