US ‘friendly fire’ takes down three of their own fighter jets in Kuwait

[US fighter jets friendly fire]

The US military has [admitted][1] that its ally Kuwait shot down *three* US fighter jets that crashed in Kuwait in a so-called ‘friendly fire’ incident.

Footage of one of the fighters as it crashed also appeared to show pilots ejecting via parachute. The *BBC* [reported that][2]:

> US Central Command has just now said three of its F-15 jets “flying in support of Operation Epic Fury” – the US operation against Iran – “went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident”.
> 
> All six crew ejected safely and have been recovered, it says.

The news is a massive embarrassment for the US, though it may suggest its other allies may have taken a leaf out of Israel’s book. The genocidal colony [murdered hundreds of its own people on 7 October 2023][3] under its ‘Hannibal directive’. This was [admitted by former Israeli defence secretary Yoav Gallant][4] and has been [common knowledge in Israel since a few weeks after it happened][5]. Israel also [killed the Bibas family][6], three [escaping Israeli captives][7] and [numerous other Israelis][8] in Gaza.

However, UK and other western media continue to ignore both facts.
