How Friendly Fire Downed 3 F-15E Strike Eagles Over Kuwait | Operation Epic Fury 2026 Full Breakdown

Описание: On March 2nd, 2026, three American F-15E Strike Eagles were shot down over Kuwait. Not by Iran. By allied air defense systems.
All six crew members survived. But the questions this incident raises about modern air warfare are going to reshape how the US military fights for the next decade.
In this video, we break down exactly what happened and why:
The physics of why a clean F-15E without external fuel tanks can look like an incoming cruise missile on an automated tracking algorithm. How passive infrared seekers completely bypass the Eagle's EPAWS electronic warfare suite. Why IFF Mode 5 failed in a saturated electromagnetic environment. The full combat history of the 335th Scud Busters and the 494th Panthers, the most experienced low-altitude intercept crews in the world. The $2 million vs $20,000 ammunition crisis that forced these jets into short-range engagement profiles in the first place. How the US military reverse-engineered Iran's own Shahed drone and turned it against them. And what the Al Jahra incident means for the future of autonomous drone swarms, the B-21 Raider, and the F-47 program.
This is not a news summary. This is a full technical and tactical postmortem of the most consequential friendly fire incident in a generation.
If you want to understand modern air warfare at the system level, this is the breakdown you've been looking for.
