Friendly fire isn’t.

Agreed, feels just like during the Falklands War, the British Type 42 destroyer HMS Sheffield was struck by an Argentine Air Force Exocet missile, marking the first Royal Navy vessel lost in combat since World War II.

Forgot to mention that Sheffield’s radar had been programmed to classify the French Exocet missile as friendly, as it was a NATO missile.

Watched Video of one F15 after it was hit. Basically in a flat spin.

the body bags are coming home and that's something not being shared in the media.

Do you have proof that there were casualties from these three planes going down.? I'm reading that all of the pilots ejected and survived.?

I'm not saying that you are incorrect, just that from what I'm seeing, they all survived.

I will say that a flat spin could end up with casualties, however the pilots could have ejected before the flat spin video was taken.

Seems like there was a similar incident a day or 2 ago... Is this the same one, or another one!
