A U.S. F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet was just SH0T DOWN (Friendly Fire)

[DonGlock26]

Did you see the jet shot down in the Red Sea?

Not yet. There may be video coming soon.

 

[Kruska]

When is the last time we shot down our own F-18?

AFAIK - luckily hasn't happened before

E.g. Vincennes incident in 1988 is one of the darkest chapters in Naval history. The details describe a trigger happy CO on a guided missile cruiser shooting down a commercial airliner, resulting in 247 needless deaths.
E.g. During the Gulf War, 17-24% of the total casualties were caused by friendly fire.
E.g. no clear answer had been found to the question of why two Air Force F-15C pilots misidentified two U.S. Army helicopters as Iraqi Soviet-built Hinds and shot them down while enforcing a NATO no- fly zone over northern Iraq.

Anyway - my response wasn't solely restricted in regards to the F-18 - as you would like to have it, but your silly effort to blame it onto a US President - in that particular case Biden.

Fortunately, America has a new administration taking charge next month, and these kinds of fuckups won't be as prevalent.

I didn't blame Biden. I posted a tweet. That said, his administration's focus on woke indoctrination in the US military isn't helping readiness and effectiveness.

US jets being shot down by US ships is very rare as you have helped me prove.

No you purposely pasted an article highlighting it to be Biden's fault aka his administration. As you now further prove it, to be your sole agenda - see your own above statements.

Is the captain of this ship a woke, a transvestite, a homo, etc?? - did he press the button? was he even involved in the automated procedure?

Factually you don't give a shit about this F-18, or it's crew.

White House press spokesman Karine Jean-Pierre proudly announces that the anti-aircraft missile test by the woke US Navy was a success

It's an opinion on twitter along with news of the incident.

I think the Biden Pentagon has been badly mismanaged with woke garbage.

I believe the captain's info has been posted in this thread.

Stop making shit up and putting words in other people's mouths.

I think the next sec of defense - probably Pete Hegseth - can find a way to fire several admirals over this incident

And the ship’s captain and fire control officer too if either man is wearing lipstick and a dress

Refer to yourself - since it is clearly YOU, who missuses a friendly fire incident - to lay blame on a president and his administrations actions in regards to woke, gay, etc. etc. - which is plain STUPID.

Since the Aegis Combat System with e.g. AN/SPG-62 fire control radar, nor an AN/SPQ-9, or MK86 GFCS, would neither be gay or woke or whatever in regards to split second decisions run&analyzed by software or malfunctioned via e.g. a electronic interference.

This isn't 1980's where ample time was given for a Hot Shot captain to give his fire consent to the weapons control station.

I suspect it will come down to decreased training hours due to DEI.

Jokes aside a shit-ton of officers are gonna be feeling the pinch over this one.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

F-18 should have disguised itself as a Chinese weather balloon.

 

[ColonelAngus]

I hope the pilots were black and trans.

No merit anymore should be allowed in the military,

ONLY BLACK OR BROWN AND TRANS.

I will NOT have a bunch of WHITE MEN dying in war for our freedom. Fuck that!

WE NEED DIVERSITY IN WAR DEATHS!

That tweet really pushed you over the edge.

Who knows who was running the radars at the time?

Now, you are just making excuses.
