Mind you, this is after Trump moved the timeline from 4 days to 5 weeks. And the US spent 25% of its THAAD interceptors in 12 days last year. 5 weeks could mean being down nearly 75% of your stockpile lol. I could see why they are worried.

The pressure on US and Israeli IADS is expected to dwindle as Iran continues to hemorrhage its ballistic missile stockpile through usage and airstrikes. This is a temporary problem.
Video of F-15 getting intercepted by something.
3 possibilities here:
- friendly fire
- engine failure/combust
- Iranian super secret ultra hypersonic pseudo-invisible AA missiles
my money is on the 3rd one
This describes America perfectly. It makes sense for the pathologically selfish boomer dad dying of lung cancer to blow (no pun) his life savings on coke and hookers. After all, what else is he going to do with the money? Leave it to his kids? That's un-American.
Would Iranian AD even be able to reach into Kuwaiti airspace? Given that the F-15 lost its vertical stabilisers, it wouldn't have been able to travel very far before it fell into a flat spin. I am leaning much more to friendly fire/Kuwaiti AD being trigger happy, probably because they're paranoid of all the missile and drone strikes going about.
Edit: after seeing the video of the hit, looks like the F-15 didn't even bother to manoeuvre so possibly an IR/passive missile?

They really are hitting those gulf states hard huh?
I guess it makes sense. When Iran or even Israel now gets hit, people don't care that much. But when those gulf states esp Dubai get hit, a lot of people get nervous esp since those guy have a lot cash.

Maybe also because a lot of people from around the world, especially South Asia, have money laundered investments in these small Gulf states, especially UAE which is basically the grand Cayman Island of the region.
