The Iranian Army’s air defense system shot down another US F-15 fighter jet as part of Iran’s response to the Zionist-American aggression.

First F-15: “it was friendly fire”. Second F-15: “shoots down another F-15”.

Great title, BTW: it shows again that ‘US’ is somewhere it definitely shouldn’t be.

We cannot even take care of our own citizens, we should not be wasting money on senseless aggression across the globe.

we should not be wasting money

Every time I hear someone complain about how much money this is costing, I picture that bloody backpack from the girl’s school we bombed.

The American value of human life must be net-negative at this point.

EPA already accounts as the value of Americans life as 0, it’s understandable that the military accounts for non Americans as negative value

So much for the undefeated fighter

Afaik it hasn’t been downed by another aircraft. I think that’s where the moniker comes from.

True, but that Kuwaiti F-18 got 60% of the way to ace, and that was friendly fire

Easier to fox 2 when the frienemy isn’t expecting a sidewinder up the exhaust haha!

Stories from Veitnam veterans about how this number gets “fixed” by reporting downs as ground to air in order to perpetuate the notion of air superiority.

Not saying that is the case here, but take the US story with a grain of salt.

Yeah I can certainly see them fudging the numbers.

Sunforged@lemmy.ml on 04 Mar 21:53 collapse

I mean 3 downs in a single day due to “friendly fire” is already suspect enough. Now that the number is growing it’s hard to chalk that up to pure incompetence.

How much do those cost again? And we still can’t give medical care?

About $31 million each, or $65 million adjusted for inflation.

Although, we don’t make them anymore and the replacement F-15EX models are closer to $95 million.

4 lost fighter jets now. What a shishow.

“Another” is misleading. If this is the fourth shootdown, it would be the first that Iran actually achieved, as the first three were blue-on-blue (Kuwait shot them down in error)
