#iranconflict #fighterjet #kuwait Dramatic video appears to show a US F-15 fighter jet pilot being threatened by a Kuwaiti local wielding a metal pipe. “Back up, stop,” the pilot was heard yelling as the man holding the pipe tried to yank him forward using his parachute chord. The pipe-wielding local looks as he’s about to strike before the pilot gets on his knees and raises his arms, according to the video shared on X. Three F-15E Strike Eagle jets, which cost around $31.1 million each, were downed by Kuwaiti friendly fire. All six crew members safely ejected from the planes and are stable. Kuwait’s defense ministry has confirmed it’s coordinating with the US regarding the “circumstances of the incident.” |

The Kuwaitis thought the American airman who had just parachuted from one of the F-15E Strike Eagle jets was an Iranian enemy airman otherwise he would have received some whackings from that metal pipe. That was on another level...   "More POWERS to the brave warriors!" |

HacheNoire:Indeed, the American airman's verbal and body reflexes were "a bit slow" and this is why being multilingual is VERY important while on any international assignment. He should have been able to identify himself immediately in Arabic language as an American citizen and the Kuwaitis would have understood. Thank goodness the Kuwaitis quickly understood him after he finally went on his knees and mentioned "American." That metal pipe would have done justice to his head if he hadn't acted on time. |
