The Iranian Army’s air defense system shot down another US F-15 fighter jet as part of Iran’s response to the Zionist-American aggression.

Afaik it hasn’t been downed by another aircraft. I think that’s where the moniker comes from.
Stories from Veitnam veterans about how this number gets “fixed” by reporting downs as ground to air in order to perpetuate the notion of air superiority.
Not saying that is the case here, but take the US story with a grain of salt.
Yeah I can certainly see them fudging the numbers.
I mean 3 downs in a single day due to “friendly fire” is already suspect enough. Now that the number is growing it’s hard to chalk that up to pure incompetence.
True, but that Kuwaiti F-18 got 60% of the way to ace, and that was friendly fire
Easier to fox 2 when the frienemy isn’t expecting a sidewinder up the exhaust haha!
