When Russia lost planes to friendly fire, we made fun of them. It’s been 2 days and we’ve lost more planes to friendly fire than Russia has.
Back in my army days, every chopper that went down, whether in a warzone or not, was deemed an “accident” or “mechanical failure”. Once two choppers went down and we were told they just crashed against each other, lol. I don’t believe these “accidents” anymore, maybe 1 out of 10 cases but this is just a lie to keep morale up, I’m positive.
Especially when they keep changing the story.
Nah, that’s just how friendly we are. You shoot at me? Instant friends!
FWIW Russia shot themselves, so it’s not quite the same.
If the US had shot its own jets down … that’d be funny.
I have heard nothing about this.
Kuwait shot down 3 US fighters apparantly.
yeah i don’t buy the friendly fire thing either
My money is that the US didn’t give Kuwait the heads up that USAF jets would be flying through their airspace, so they never adjusted their Patriot systems to not shoot them down.
