Nah that's a MIG.

That fuselage is sitting much too high relative to the intakes.

See how high that is?

F-15 has the intakes nearly in line with the bottom of the fuselage making for a much flatter profile.

You're forgetting the targeting pods mate. F-15E has two pods giving it the heft below the fuselage. The F-15C you're showing wouldn't have it.

Any IRIAF aircraft will have a hard time getting far. This happened during the Iraq war too where patriot batteries took out two allied aircraft which was more than enemy ground fire.

That's definitely not Iranian flight equipment. The dark part of the helmet looks like the JHMCS mount. Plus I'm pretty sure they wear green flight suits and have old cold war flight helmets.

Look at the silhouette as well, its a deadnuts match. Any Eastern aircract that's even close would use leading-edge extensions.

It seems like command trusted US deconfliction and Friend-Or-Foe systems but forgot that our Allies do not necessarily use them.

Does anyone know for sure why Iran is choosing to attack random sites in otherwise neutral Arab states rather than concentrate its fire on American military installations? It seems like its just wasting its munitions on far too many different well-defended sites when it could have probably caused way more than three US casualties in Kuwait by just concentrating and salvoing fire.

Is the answer really
>Dumb sand niggers over-centralize their command structure to keep political power away from low-level commanders
>Western power decapitates command structure
>Dumb sand nigger army behaves like decapitated chicken and loses all organization because their low level officers only know how to follow orders and cannot act independently

Other reasonable possibilities are:
  • Iran gambled (poorly) that the target Arab states would pressure America/Israel to end the attack so that Iran would calm down and stop flailing explosives everywhere.
  • Iran had previously threatened said Arab states with this very outcome if they didn't sufficiently oppose American/Israeli aggression on Iran.
Furthermore, these Arab states are not well-defended, but rather soft targets compared to Israel's ballistic defense systems.

Expect this to only get worse. Expect future engagements with names like Operation Big Chungus.

This is looking to have been a friendly fire incident.

Thankfully the pilots are okay.

Thanks for ruining the F-15s perfect record though, you asses

F-15 has already been shot down.
Saudi F-15s got shot down over Yemen.

The unblemished record is for air-to-air combat, which unless a Kuwaiti jet shot it down probably still stands.

They don't have a flag for "make sound tactical decisions in response to aggression"

Could a Parsis marry an Iranian Zoroastrian and still be considered/ have their kids considered Zoroastrians? I know some Jewish groups have similar insular bullshit (the Mashad comes to mind, and the Syrian Jews tend to act this way), but no Jew would say they aren't jews. And they don't deny the Jewishness of other jews (it's more of a "we know we are safe because it is our group" sorta stuff-the other jews in this thread could talk about it more).

From what I remember from reading random FB posts ten years ago, no, because there's no proof they're real believers. Insanity.
In practicality, a highly educated market dominant minority in South Asia, and a traditionalist Iranian don't have much in common.

Looks like Kuwait shot down an American F-15E.

The Kuwaitis have a higher tally than Iran and its Chinese super-radar.

Turkey is rather secular..., because it just comes off as exactly what the fiercest anti-semites claim about jews lel

Catch The Rainbow said:
Turkey is openly aggressive towards Israel and is expanding into Syria which puts it right on the border with Israel. This is why Israel occupied a portion of Syria and is sponsoring a Druze statelet. They want a buffer state.

Still salty about your messiah converting to Ottoman Islam?

Reminds me of a retard in my extended family with the IQ of toddler. He always was looking for a particular stuffed toy he lost two decades prior, he said "I'm looking for <Name>" a dozen times a day, so I went on eBay and bought another copy.
As soon as I gave it to him, he started saying "I'm looking for <new toy name>".

He is a Polish man pretending to be Semetic.

That name is reserved for the upcoming Taiwan conflict for when the Americans destroy Kinmen's only McDonalds, leaving the ChiCom conquest meaningless

Doesn't KSA use mercenary pilots? Mostly Pakistani but I'm sure a USAF vet would be paid a fortune.
 
If this is the kind of help we can expect from the Gulf States in this conflict, then maybe it's for the best that they stay out of it.
