Video showing a flaming jet falling from the sky suggested at least one of the aircraft was an F-15E twin-engine fighter jet
“Several” U.S. fighter jets have crashed over Kuwait, the nation’s military has confirmed, as video spread online showing the fiery aftermath of the plane falling to earth.
The video emerged hours after President Donald Trump confirmed that there would be “likely more” servicemembers as a result of the weekend strikes on Iran. The Islamic Republic has launched a barrage of retaliatory strikes against targets in the Gulf in the wake of the death of the country’s leader, Ali Hosseini Khamenei.
In a statement posted on X, Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense said that several aircraft were involved in the crash.


Friendly fire from Kuwait apparently 😂😅

Hey ChatGPT, target the nearest four enemy jets and fire missiles at them. I want them to be destroyed, so use whatever trickery you need to take them out.
NO! THOSE WERE FRIENDLIES!
This is so accurate.
Anthropic to the DoD: “One of our few red lines is that you cannot use our systems for autonomous target acquisition.”
DoD: “You’re fired!”
Yeah right and those two jets just fell off the USS Harry Truman last year, accidents happen! 🤷♂️
Crash and shot down are 2 very different things. Thanks for digging up the real story.
