Kamandi la Jeshi la Marekani (CENTCOM) imesema Machi 2, 2026 kuwa mfumo wa ulinzi wa anga wa Kuwait kwa bahati mbaya ulitungua ndege tatu za kivita za Marekani ikiwa vita dhidi ya Iran na Israel na Marekani ikiendelea.
Kwenye taarifa yao, CENTCOM imesema: "Saa 5:03 usiku Machi 1, 2026 ndege tatu aina ya F-15E zilizokuwa kwenye operesheni zilianguka nchini Kuwait kutokana na kushambuliwa kimakosa na washirika. Wakati wa mapigano makali yaliyohusisha makombora na drones za Iran, ndege hizo za Marekani zilitunguliwa kimakosa na ulinzi wa anga wa Kuwait."
Sasa ukweli wote upo wazi! Kamandi Kuu ya Marekani (CENTCOM) imethibitisha kwamba zile ndege zao tatu hazikuanguka tu kama ilivyodaiwa mwanzo, bali zilitunguliwa kimakosa na ulinzi wa anga wa Kuwait. Hili limetokea wakati kukiwa na mapigano mazito—Marekani na Israel wakifanya mashambulizi mazito nchini Iran kwa lengo la kuiangusha serikali ya Tehran, huku Iran nayo ikijibu mapigo kwa kurusha makombora na drones kwenye kambi za Marekani na nchi za Ghuba.

U.S. Central Command said Monday that Kuwait mistakenly shot down three American fighter jets, as war rages in the Middle East.
"At 11:03 p.m. ET, March 1, three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident," Central Command said in a statement.
"During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses," it added.
The U.S. and Israel have been conducting strikes against targets in Iran since Saturday morning, to topple Tehran's clerical regime. Iran has fired back, with retaliatory assaults featuring missiles and drones targeting several Gulf countries and American bases in the Middle East.
"All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition. Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation," Central Command said.
"The cause of the incident is under investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available," it added.

Habari njema ni kwamba marubani wote sita waliweza kujiokoa na wapo salama. Hii ndio picha halisi ya machafuko yanayoendelea Mashariki ya Kati kwa sasa!
