Iran - Israel/US War: Israel-US declare war on Iran, Iran responds

I believe this will be a LOW FLAME conflict as for now. Not escalating into a major war at this time. But it won't be good for Bahrain, Kuwait and UAE as they are easy targets ffrom Iran.

Not sure if people are aware, but lightening can strike twice. That is some hardluck for any aviator. Lucky that he survived both shoot-downs.

Pilot of fighter jet downed over Iran previously shot down in Kuwaiti incident​

Fighter pilot downed over Iran was previously shot down in Kuwaiti incident, sources say 01:23

The pilot of the F-15E fighter jet downed over Iran was also flying one of the jets shot down at the start of the war by Kuwaiti friendly fire, two people familiar with the incidents tell CBS News.

Just over 30 days after safely ejecting during the friendly fire incident, the pilot was on a mission over Iran when the jet was hit by a surface-to-air missile, prompting a daring rescue operation.

The pilot's dual shootdowns were first reported by national security reporter Sean Naylor in his Substack The High Side.

In the opening days of the war, the pilot was among six aircrew members who safely ejected after three F-15E Strike Eagles were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses — specifically, a Kuwaiti fighter jet — over Kuwait in a friendly fire incident. Remarkably, just weeks later, the pilot was again forced to eject when the F-15E they were flying was shot down by an Iranian missile on April 3.

CBS News previously reported that the pilot, who sustained serious injuries, was rescued after several hours, and the second crew member was rescued after nearly two days in hiding.

"The courage demonstrated by both the pilot and the weapons system officer while isolated and them evading the enemy cannot be overstated," Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said during an April briefing at the White House after the two had been rescued.

"Their grit and warfighting tenacity is a direct result of the absolute trust they have in our rescue forces, their training and their will to survive and return," Caine said.

The Pentagon referred questions to U.S. Central Command, which declined to comment.

"It is a highly unusual coincidence," said Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, who is the Dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies and was the principal attack planner for the air campaign for Operation Desert Storm, during the 1990-1991 Gulf War.


Deptula told CBS News in a phone interview that he couldn't think of a pilot being shot down in separate incidents during the same campaign since potentially as far back as the Vietnam War.

"It's like getting hit by lightning twice," Deptula said.
Hurry! Put him in a third plane! Let's give him a f35 this time.

if no damage, then the news is pretty useless......let us know if there's hit and damage and sinking

I think damage only is enough to set deterrence under current circumstances… no party wants escalation i believe…

The shock reaction from US pedos is telling that it might have actually been hit and damaged

satellite images show that yesterday's Iranian combined missile and drone attack on the U.S. Ali Al Salem Airbase and the Camp Buehring base in Kuwait destroyed 1 drone/helicopter hangar, 4 warehouses, and an aircraft hangar.
 
Whereas the US is comfortable with either a possible deal or a low-level exchange of fire, but not a return to full-scale war, Tehran is comfortable with a possible deal or a full-scale war, but not with a low-level exchange of fire that erodes Iran's deterrence and allows for Trump's "blockade of the blockade" to become effective.
 
  • Casualties: 28 IDF soldiers and one defense contractor are confirmed killed.
  • Injuries: Over 1,180 Israeli soldiers have been wounded since operations in southern Lebanon began.
  • Cause: Many of the recent IDF casualties have been caused by Hezbollah's relentless use of hard-to-detect explosive drones and fiber-optic drones
So we were talking about idf casualties during this so called ceasefire I was curious more about injuries versus death close to 1200 injuries(let’s assume several hundred won’t be going back to the front lines ever)many just from these micro drones its not this hasn’t been done before with these drones but showing you how war is evolving you don’t need face to face quarter fighting or supposed all knowing AI technology clear the landscape of civilians all you have are “soldiers” that are easy picking for low tech drones

So they are taking a page for the Israelis for every minor hit they now strike several times harder they have their own eyes in the skies and people on the ground to feed them intel especially in countries like Bahrain UAE Kuwait and Saudi Arabia(large Shia population I wouldn’t see why they don’t have eyes there)
