Iranian Su-24 Incident: Pilots Downed After Striking U.S. Target
In the early hours of the ongoing conflict, Iranian Su-24 pilots reportedly executed a suicide mission, successfully striking a U.S. target in Kuwait using outdated equipment before being shot down by Qatar. This incident echoes previous claims from Qatar during the war, where they asserted to have downed two Su-24 bombers shortly before they reached Doha. The pilots are believed to have sacrificed their lives in this operation.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇶🇦 NOTE: This is consistent with reports from during the war, when Qatar claimed to have shot down two Su-24 bombers minutes before reaching Doha
These Iranian Su-24 pilots, in the early hours of the war, likely gave their lives in what they ultimately knew would be a suicide mission, miraculously managing to hit and destroy a U.S. target in Kuwait with 60-year old equipment before eventually being downed in Qatar.
