  • 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  • Iran’s air force mostly operates outdated jets but recently enhanced its fleet with modern Russian Su-35 fighter aircraft.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'

  • On February 2, 2026, an Air India pilot reported abnormal fuel control switch behavior on a Boeing 787-8 after safely landing in Bengaluru.

  • The aircraft was immediately withdrawn from service and the issue escalated to Boeing and the Indian aviation regulator DGCA.

  • Fuel control switches manage engine fuel flow and are designed to prevent accidental position changes during flight.

  • The 2025 Ahmedabad crash that killed 260 people involved similar fuel switch movements shortly after takeoff, causing loss of thrust.
  • No sane pilot would ever turn those switches off in flight.
    — US aviation safety expert John Nance commented on the fuel switch movements during the fatal flight.
