US SHOOT DOWN RAF JET
This is believed to be the moment a British Air Force Tornado jet was shot down by a US Patriot missile.
Rest of the story found here
Interesting Fact:
In the 1991 Gulf War, nine UK soldiers were killed by their US allies - the same number killed by enemy fire.

It wasnt our fualt. The UK is now saying the friendly/enemy code was wrong on your plane. making our auto defenses fire on it.
|
Any links to this info? Cos its not on any major news networks, or that type of info released by the MOD or US Army

This is very sad. Remember this though, England:
Two of your own pilots rammed each other in helos, killing one of ours too. It happens. It's part of being a warrior.

From a CNN article:
"General Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chief of Staffs, pointed to a possible breakdown of the "elaborate procedures and electronic means to identify friendly and enemy aircraft" as causing the incident. "

cnn is just as credible as any other source. it may not give all the news(as it is quite liberal biased) but the news it does give is not exactly 'made up'. when cnn gives a quote from someone, that person actually said it. you just shouldn't use cnn as your only source if you want to hear all the news and not just what liberals want you to see.

and one of yours crashed the night before, killing 8 UK and 4 US marines.

This isn't a pissing contest of who kills the most friendlies. My point is simply this:
Friendlies get killed because people run the equipment. Humans make mistakes. This incident (patriot) wasn't human error, but the others were.
If you give a bunch of humans weapons, and then complicate the situation with troops moving fast, and poor inter-divisional communication, people will make errors. unfortunately those errors are far more serious in the field.
I am just as mad as you are about this. Being killed by the enemy is different than being killed by "allies".

Listen, ACCIDENTS happen behind the trigger, and behind the flight stick. That's the point, but since you need to nitpick, I see there's no reason to continue. And the british had incidents where they killed friendlies in the last war too. It's not like the Americans are running rampant killing eveything that moves. Prove that you have reasoning ability, and think a little before posting anti-american posts. We saved your country from annihilation twice too.

Is this our American agression once again, because some story hungry loser drove into an enemy city while it was being fired upon?

What were they supposed to assume? A truck in enemy territory in the line of fire. Fair target.
