Prima dată în peste 70 de ani, trupele terestre ale SUA au fost atacate de avioane inamice. Unde s-a întâmplat • Newsweek România

For the first time in over 70 years, U.S. ground troops were attacked by enemy aircraft, specifically Iranian F-5 jets, at a base in Kuwait. This incident marks a significant shift in aerial warfare against U.S. forces, which had not faced such attacks since the Korean War. The attack occurred on March 1, 2026, following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. Despite advanced air defense systems at the base, the Iranian pilots managed to evade detection and successfully bomb the facility. The U.S. military has not officially confirmed the attack, and details remain scarce, including potential casualties. Retired General Glen VanHerck expressed embarrassment over the incident, highlighting the challenges faced by U.S. air defenses.
