Can't have F15 downed by Iran, so instead propose they were downed by, checks notes, Kuwait's air defence. No, THE Kuwait's Air Defence. The country you don't hear much about in the news pulled a trickster move becoming the most notorious foe of US's aircrafts in recent times, competing only with US's own carriers.
