- On Monday, Qatar’s air force shot down two Iranian Su-24 bombers approaching the Al-Udeid US military base just minutes before an attack.
- The Iranian jets ignored radio warnings and flew at low altitude to avoid radar detection.
- A Qatari F-15 engaged the bombers, which crashed in Qatar’s territorial waters; rescue operations for the crews are underway.
- Iran’s air force mostly operates outdated jets but recently enhanced its fleet with modern Russian Su-35 fighter aircraft.
Due to 'time pressure' and 'the available evidence,' the aircraft were ultimately 'classified as hostile'— told CNN by an insider
