I mean… it is incompetence, but it’s incompetence/process/doctrinal failure on the part of the Kuwaiti Air Force, not the USAF. Which is the only thing KegsBreath would give a shit about in this context.
Okay so if the friendly fire is a from an ally, you can throw that ally under the bus.
Would the same apply if it were American friendly fire? Doesn’t still save face then?
Actually, yes, imo. Enemy shoot downs are something that gives an opponent a propaganda victory. Friendly fire incidents result in remedial training and discipline (and in the case of this regime, firing people, because we can’t have people learning from mistakes now, can we). It’s an expensive mistake, but an expensive mistake is very different from a legit combat loss.
