We address a massive viewer question: why didn't the highly trained F-15 pilots take evasive maneuvers? We break down the technical limitations of legacy aircraft, visual misidentifications, and the chaotic communication breakdowns that led to this catastrophic event. 🔸Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @afterburnpodcast   🔺 Grab our free newsletter for insights into aviation, defense, and geopolitics - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter 🔺 🇺🇸 Support Veterans in Their Time of Need or Apply for Help: http://gunsgarin.com/rain 🇺🇸 --- 🎙️ Sponsor Links🎙️ Scrub Your Info from Data Brokers & Protect Yourself | https://aura.com/afterburn 14-day free trial Launch your aviation career: https://bogidope.com/?bd=rain Recorded on Riverside.fm https://www.riverside.fm/?via=afterburn Key takeaways from this video: The Footage: New ground footage appears to show an F-18 taking a shot at one of the U.S. Strike Eagles, sending it into a flat spin before the crew successfully ejected. Why No Reaction?: If the Kuwaiti pilot fired an AIM-9 infrared missile, it would cue off the heat of the F-15's engines rather than radar, meaning the U.S. pilots likely had no warning they were being targeted. Guard Down: The F-15s were likely returning from a mission or diverting, meaning their guard against air-to-air threats was down. Equipment Limitations: Kuwait's legacy F-18s lack helmet-mounted cueing and Link 16 data links, severely limiting the pilot's situational awareness regarding friendly aircraft in the airspace. Visual Misidentification: At ranges of a couple of miles, the twin-tail silhouette of an F-15 looks almost identical to an Iranian twin-tail MiG-29. Communication Breakdown: With Kuwait actively under attack, critical communications regarding diverting U.S. fighters likely failed to reach the defensive counter-air pilots patrolling the skies. ---- ✈️ Afterburn Podcast Links ✈️ Support The Afterburn Podcast for on Patreon and gain early access and AD Free episodes.
