So, the so called messenger of peace who was telling how many jets India and Pakistan lost in conflict has confirmed that 3 of its F-15 fighter jets have fell.

They claim this was due to friendly fire, as Kuwait failed to recognise they were US jets. Now we don't know if that is really true or US is just saying that to save its reputation. The thing is, Iran uses very old jets, the fact of Iran felling 3 jets is only possible if the Air defense system is not that ancient.

But Yes, US is having material losses, that is confirmed, eventhough by their own allies, if we accept their claim for a moment, which still to me sounds fishy.

What do you think? Let me Know. To all Indians and people who enjoy our content, it is a humble request, Please join "BharatDefense".

What's a few hundred million USD crashing into the earth due to incompetence and selfish short-sightedness? Not like there's anything to use the money on at home

    Air defenses needed in Ukraine are being used to shoot down US planes in a completely unnecessary war in the Middle East.

    It's got to be that. The only other possibility is that it was Iran and they're just lying about it. But considering who's in charge of the Department of Defense I think it's very likely they're just incompetent.

    And the jets were most likely shot down with Patriots.
