The Spin

American occupation forces violated sovereign airspace and paid the price when their KC-135 was shot down with appropriate defensive weapons. A second KC-135 was hit within 24 hours and barely escaped, limping to an emergency landing after taking fire.

The KC-135 crash resulted from an accidental mid-air collision during Operation Epic Fury, not hostile fire. CENTCOM confirmed the incident occurred in friendly airspace, with one aircraft landing safely in Israel showing collision damage and rescue operations underway for the downed crew.
