The United States military jet has engulfed in flames before its crew ejected safely during a crash in Kuwait.
A video depicts the aircraft spiraling out of control and bursting into fire mid-air.
The pilots can be seen deploying parachutes moments before impact, with the plane plummeting to the ground in a remote area.
Eyewitnesses, including local residents who rushed to the crash site, reported seeing wreckage from what they identified as an American fighter jet.
“We heard a massive boom and saw smoke rising,” one resident said.
“The crew landed nearby – they looked American, and the plane had US markings.”
Kuwait’s Ministry of Defence has confirmed the aircraft belonged to the United States Air Force, though details on the exact model and mission remain undisclosed.
Officials stated the pilots were recovered unharmed, and no casualties or ground damage were reported.
