First it was Patriot missiles.Then, opps it was a Kuwaiti F/A-18.Yeah right, did the pilot go full jihad on the Americans? One accidental missile launch, maybe, but three? Coalition aircraft have Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) capability.Putting this out there, maybe an Iranian F-14 non-aggressively tailed the F-15 strike eagles and got off a sneak attack. That would be an epic achievement for the Iranians and a huge embarrassment to the USAF.
>>530109678Damn that's a stupid image sry.
>>530109678It was an iranian drone carrying chinese sidewinder equivalents. They where flying around to intercept said drones when they got the drone equivalent of an ambush.
>>530109678Sandniggers, so luck.

>>530109678>a huge embarrassment to the USAFLeveling a multistory building with a 150 school girls was a huge embarrassment for the USAFThese failures where them realizing the iranians can attach air to air missiles on every 30th or so shaed drone to increase the risk of using fighters to shoot them down. There is a reason they are begging the ukranians for stinger drones now. The cost of shooting down shaeds with fighters is too high. This war is going to be an utter fucking shitshow.
>>530110007A drone carrying a single AIM-9 would have to be pretty big and distinctive on radar. There were three kills, three drones or one huge drone with three sidewinders? I don't see it.
>Coalition aircraft have Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) capabilityUnless for some reason said pilots disabled said IFF or something. All of this information is classified and they won't broadcast how their jets got shot down, so basically it's not on video so you'll never know. It could literally just be a made up story that they made up for some other psyop.
Maybe it was a team with MANPADS
>>530110461Several ways to shield it from radar and the iranians aren't retards. I imagine they where flying out to intercept an incoming swarm and within it there was a number of drones carrying air to air missiles of an unknown build. You could hollow out the warhead and body of a shaed and modify it with a bomber Bay style configuration, and fit a very short range air to air. There is obviously no need for range as the fighters have to come in close to engage them anyway. I find this to be reasonable. I saw a clip on Twitter of the impact in actual footage of one of the f-15s, did not discount this possibility. But yeah, cant find it again now so pointless to mention it.
>>530109678So 1 Kuwaiti F-18 took out 3 F-15's only firing 3 missiles and they couldn't tell that they were being lased or deploy countermeasures? Damn either missile tech is crazy good or F-15 are a meme
>>530110947>a drone with a rack of lightened sidewinders caught up with a flight of F-15sStill not buying it Nordfag.OTOH a F-14 spoofing a F-15 makes sense. Operation Bolo, ever heard of it?
>>530109678>What shot down the F-15sthere is video of the dogfight, the americans got fucked and it was a skill issue. a generation older plane and weapons. kuwaiti pilot trained by pakistanis. american century of humiliation begins now. thanks israel
>>530109678Nigga your pic with thr plane models ia wrong. It is exactly thr other way around.F 15 were shot down by Iranian s300. you they can shoot over Kuwait. And it was not just one us fighter jet that got shot down.Planes are completely defenceless to as missiles.flares and chaff do nor work much.
>>530111230See the next post
>>530111079>lasedRadar missiles don't lase. And an F-15 wouldn't react to a known friendly's radar emitting towards them.Radar missiles can also be pretty damn hard to dodge.Even worse, modern missiles have their own radars, and once they get close enough they self-guide, so you can't even break lock when you realize that it's a friendly target. In a worst case scenario, the F-15 would only get a missile warning when the missile is close enough to turn on its own radar, and by then it's too late.
>>530111138Well the scenario says the f-15s where obviously hunting shaeds, i imagine they fly a lot slower when preparing for a turkey shoot. >BoloNope. I just doubt a 50y old f14 with iranian parts made it to Kuwait undetected given every intelligence asset is pointed at iran right now. Even if it has some spooky tier ew system A swarm of shaeds on the otherhand is expected, dismissed as well shaeds, and would provide the perfect ambush scenario given how they are shoot down using fighters.
>Female PilotsI think I know all I need to know about what actually happened
>>530109678Bump
>>530111443>Well the scenario says the f-15s where obviously hunting shaedsThey were returning to base in Kuwaiti when shot down holy fuck.
>>530109678Your picrel pics backwards
>>530109678 .....
>>530111718See post 2 itt.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>530111601Just part of the usaf cope narrative
>>530111519If there's one part of the U.S gooberment not cucked by DEI, it's the airforce and navy's pilot program. Air Force pilot program has a washout rate of almost 50%Where the commercial airline pilot program has a washout rate of 10-30% if you're in a program that finances your training like the air force program does.
>>530109678If friendly fire wasn't the case and Iran shot them down, I think it would have been Iranian infiltrators using shoulder launched MANPADs from inside Kuwait. Definitely not an Iranian aircraft.S300's have the range to barely reach Kuwait from the SW tip of Iran, but those would be taken out by SEAD if they turned on their radar. Could be that they had intel from other sources and blind fired S300's knowing there were planes circling there and let the missiles onboard radar handle the terminal guidance.
Shaeds with air to air will be a thing if it isn't already
>>530111936Heat seeking MANPADS could definitely surprise a group of pilots in trail preparing to enter the pattern.
>>530111372>modern missiles have their own radars,They dont.All missiles are passive. Heat seeking passive infrared or passive radio. waves.Thr plane has a radar that emmits radio waves that reflect from enemy target and the missiles seel the reflection to navigator to the target.They don't have radar.
>>530112407Anon you're completely clueless. Active radar missiles are like '80s technology, and pretty much all medium+ range radar missiles have their own radars nowadays.
>>530112217Time to learn to shoot down enemy plane with manpad - 20 min.Cost of.manpad 20000usdTime to to learn to fly a jet 4+ yearsCost of airplane and the training around 80 - 100 million USD.Ahahahhahahahahah ahIt is over for the aviation fags.
>>530109754F14s is fucking peak, you can't convince me otherwise
>>530112493bullshit.a radar in the. nose of the rocket that gets heat up to some thousands degrees. Sure!a cruise.missile.might have a radar but that is for terrain following. Not to lock on target.

>>530110007We call it the swarm from Hell. Lights up the radars like you wouldn’t believe
>>530109678It wqs a friendly fire incident from poor communicationsAll the 3 fighter pilots safely ejectedIts a literal nothingburger and everyone on this website is a fucking retard, exceptions dont prove the norm
>>530110478It was literally a friendly fire intercept>>530110383>he thinks the top brass of iran is next to a schoolYoure fucking retarded id you believe these obvious liesTruth is, kohmeni et.al. got btfo and they are running damage control psyops and youre a stupid niggercattle retarded fuck for falling for the baitProtip dumb nigger; there are tons literal tons of ground personel and agents fucking running field in iran, because theyre the most infiltrated country as far as spies and assets goImagine falling for this shit when iranian leaders get assasinated and btfo literally every other month in times priorLolLmfaoSo many fucking retards on this website
>>530111873And yet one of the pilots was a wimenz
>>530110947A shahed drone is a propeller aircraftThere is no chance in hell that this fucking thing is going to intercept anyrhing travelling mach 1 let alone mach 2 cruising speed for some top gen fighter craftYoure a fucking retardSit down, dumbass>reasonableThats cause youre a clueless dipshit lmfao
>>530113021Chinese and russian assets sold to iran have been quantitatively and thoroughly btfo in recent days it puts all other militsry conquests in the modern era to shame as per their overal combat effectiveness when tackling the likes of the USAF and NavyPeople on this website are an absolute clusterfuck of retarded, where are the oldfags who actuslly know pr stunts and faggotry from actual events as they occurFuck me, this site is fucking retarded whenever sensationalist shit happens, summons all the retards n+1 until its a saturated retard shitshow here, fuck
>>530109678Ghost of Kuwait
>>530114494Doesn't have to dumbass, the planes come to it and the missile is fast
>>530109678Air defenses in Kuwait operated by KuwaitiesWhy is /pol/ so retarded?
>>530111873yeah ok buddy
>>530109678same thing to happen to venezuela, operator error.
>>530109678>tilt the wings slightly>call it a new generation of aircraft>charge billions for itDoes the MIC really?
>>530109678Ghost of Tehrran
>>530110383It already is a shitshow. Death to America, inshallah the kikes will finally learn. When they are really holocausted for once.
DJI drones are some of the best on the market, Ukraine even prefers them to US made ones. The US drones are extremely limited because the DARPA can't even get the FAA to reduce regulation for testing purposes. We actually have a whole army of DIY drone manufacturers who would make stuff way better than China and what ever slop the military complex pushes out, but it's not going to happen if people like myself are over regulated and can't create products the millitary needs. I am going through automation and drone courses right now and there is basically no career entry points for people like me since the shit is so half assed and company management and organization is goy tier.
>>530109678100% shot down by Iran, friendly fire incident does not make sense, i wonder what they used, maybe long range missiles from the ground like S-300 or so...
