Is Pete gonna take their rank away for begging for their life? I think he should be out their instead.

Glad he’s okay. Ejecting is violent enough as it is ,the last thing you want to deal with upon landing is a ground-level skirmish.

So who came to retrieve our pilot?

Honest question- do pilots not have guns on them?

The lady pilot definitely had an easier time.

Good thing he didn’t encounter ICE agents.

Both pilots in the two videos that have been posted today don’t appear to be armed. That’s kind of weird.

That’s the most midwestern “Amiricin” that I’ve heard in a while

I’ve watched too many Hollywood movies, and this encounter feels exactly like the moment when a prisoner of war gets captured.

There was an ongoing Iranian air attack at the same time.
People are blaming Kuwaitis, but from the standpoint of an anti-air radar, a plane is a plane. Or just a flying object.
Of course there are Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems to avoid such mistakes, but they are not infaillible, and difficult to coordinate between different armies.

The vibe flips to “Oh ok, clean up after you’re done here friend.”

Kuwait uses American anti aircraft systems with IFF (“identify friend or foe”) systems (as those systems have had for over 50-70 years). How the fuck did they manage to shoot down THREE American planes with antiaircraft systems with US IFF? This needs to be explained

It’s crazy that Kuwait has shot down more F-15’s than Russia. (don’t fact check me…I want to believe)

Dude was frightened for his life when a guy wanted a selfie with him.

Dont the pilots have a *side arm*, at least? (Unless he is packing and just didn’t draw)

Surely he had a firearm right? And just chose not to take it out yet because he didn’t see any immediate threats.

Genuine question because I am an idiot who doesn’t understand this stuff… did they stop because they like Americans/appreciate the help? Or they don’t like them but are scared of them and the retaliation that would happen?

Why did they put down their weapons after learning he was American?

Nice start to cover up Epstein files, getting all your bases slapped and shooting your own planes. Can’t stop winning! What a shit show the US citizens are all guilty of this happening to the world.
