TF do you have a friendly fire incident when your opponent has no aircraft, lol.

They were trying to shoot down a UFO shaped like a plane but it turns out it was a plane, the only one operating in the airspace: your own F16

Two U.S. Navy pilots were shot down Sunday over the Red Sea in an apparent “friendly fire” incident, the U.S military said, marking the most serious incident to threaten troops in over a year of America targeting Yemen’s Houthi rebels.

Both pilots were recovered alive after ejecting from their stricken aircraft, with one suffering minor injuries. But the shootdown underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become over the ongoing attacks on shipping by the Iranian-backed Houthis despite U.S. and European military coalitions patrolling the area.

Dumbasses shot at their buddies because they're scared and incompetent, and then blame the Houthis because of how scared and incompetent they are. Like do the Houthis even have air support? Like are the US military so scared that their Wunderwaffe might be attacked that they shot at each other? Worlds most expensive military everybody.

Listen, it's called Recon by Fire and had it worked the Navy could've claimed to have eradicated the Houthis Airforce by 50% (they have at least that one Mi-8)

Critical support to the US military, I guess

They actually admitted KIA instead of MIA/POW of Poseidon?

The Military Industrial Complex could have swayed Trump to do a Caligula and wage war against the ocean. Just firing miniguns at the waves, drone striking ice bergs, woulda been hella profitable.

Edit: nvm recovered alive.

Likely extreme incompetency but they'll never admit it. Therefore we can keep claiming it for Ansarallah.
