两名知情人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,这架在伊朗上空被击落的F-15E战斗机飞行员,也曾是战争初期被科威特友军火力击落的战机飞行员之一。

就在这次友军火力事故中安全弹射逃生仅30多天后,该飞行员在伊朗上空执行任务时,战机被地对空导弹击中,随后展开了一场大胆的营救行动。

这名飞行员两次被击落的事件,最早由国家安全记者肖恩·内勒(Sean Naylor)在其Substack专栏《高点》(The High Side)中报道。

在战争爆发初期,三架F-15E“攻击鹰”战斗机在科威特上空被科威特防空部队——具体为一架科威特战机——误击击落,包括这名飞行员在内的六名机组人员全部安全弹射逃生。值得注意的是,仅数周后,这名飞行员所驾驶的F-15E战机于4月3日被伊朗导弹击落,他再次被迫弹射逃生。

哥伦比亚广播公司新闻此前曾报道,这名身受重伤的飞行员在数小时后被救出,而同机的第二名机组人员在隐藏近两天后获救。

“这名飞行员和武器系统军官在脱离大部队、躲避敌军追击时所展现出的勇气,无论如何强调都不为过,”美军参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩(Dan Caine)将军在两人获救后于白宫举行的4月简报会上说道。

凯恩说:“他们的坚韧不拔和作战韧性,直接源于他们对我们救援部队的绝对信任、所接受的训练,以及求生和返回的决心。”

美国五角大楼将相关问题转交美国中央司令部,后者拒绝置评。

“这是极为罕见的巧合,”退役空军中将戴维·德普图拉(David Deptula)说道,他现任米歇尔航空航天研究所所长,也是1990至1991年海湾战争“沙漠风暴”行动空中战役的主要攻击规划者。

德普图拉在电话采访中告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,他想不起有哪位飞行员在同一场战役的不同事件中两次被击落,这种情况或许最早只能追溯到越南战争时期。

“这就像两次被雷劈中,”德普图拉说。

The pilot of the F-15E fighter jet downed over Iran was also flying one of the jets shot down at the start of the war by Kuwaiti friendly fire, two people familiar with the incidents tell CBS News.

Just over 30 days after safely ejecting during the friendly fire incident, the pilot was on a mission over Iran when the jet was hit by a surface-to-air missile, prompting a daring rescue operation.

The pilot’s dual shootdowns were first reported by national security reporter Sean Naylor in his Substack The High Side.

In the opening days of the war, the pilot was among six aircrew members who safely ejected after three F-15E Strike Eagles were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses — specifically, a Kuwaiti fighter jet — over Kuwait in a friendly fire incident. Remarkably, just weeks later, the pilot was again forced to eject when the F-15E they were flying was shot down by an Iranian missile on April 3.

CBS News previously reported that the pilot, who sustained serious injuries, was rescued after several hours, and the second crew member was rescued after nearly two days in hiding.

“The courage demonstrated by both the pilot and the weapons system officer while isolated and them evading the enemy cannot be overstated,” Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said during an April briefing at the White House after the two had been rescued.

“Their grit and warfighting tenacity is a direct result of the absolute trust they have in our rescue forces, their training and their will to survive and return,” Caine said.

The Pentagon referred questions to U.S. Central Command, which declined to comment.

“It is a highly unusual coincidence,” said Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. David Deptula, who is the Dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies and was the principal attack planner for the air campaign for Operation Desert Storm, during the 1990-1991 Gulf War.

Deptula told CBS News in a phone interview that he couldn’t think of a pilot being shot down in separate incidents during the same campaign since potentially as far back as the Vietnam War.

“It’s like getting hit by lightning twice,” Deptula said.
