Iran said it had shot down a United States Air Force fighter jet over its territory, and footage released by Iranian channels appears to show the wreckage of an F-15E Strike Eagle from the U.S. Air Force’s 494th Fighter Squadron.
Iranian outlets initially claimed the aircraft was an F-35, but a closer review of the debris shown in the video points to a different aircraft. Visible sections of the airframe, including parts of the fuselage and external mounting points, match the layout of the F-15E rather than the stealth design of the F-35.


Didnt kuwait shut down two of them ? F15 never lost an air fight, but getting shot down by aa is something else
Yeah, two were shot down by Iraqi AA during Desert Storm. One was AAA, one was a SAM.
