U.S. Military Shot Down Its Own Jet While Bombing Yemen
The United States Navy shot down its own F/A-18 fighter jet in a friendly fire incident over the Red Sea. The Pentagon made the announcement shortly after issuing a press release about another successful bombing raid against alleged Houthi targets in Yemen.
War mongering is continuing as the U.S. maintains its position to stay heavily involved in any and all war efforts possible. This time, it accidentally shot down its own fighter jet.
The incident occurred just as American and British aircraft conducted new bombing raids targeting alleged missile storage sites and command facilities in Sanaa to disrupt and degrade Houthi operations, according to a CENTCOM press release issued earlier on Saturday night, according to a report by RT.
“During the operation, CENTCOM forces also shot down multiple Houthi one-way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles and an anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) over the Red Sea,” the US military stated. “The operation involved US Air Force and US Navy assets, including F/A-18s,” it noted.
Only a few hours later, the military admitted that it had shot down its own fighter jet. The USS Gettysburg had “mistakenly fired on” the F/A-18. The military did not specify which weapon was used to shoot down the jet. The commander of the cruiser serves as the air defense commander for the strike group, responsible for detecting and neutralizing incoming threats.
An investigation is currently underway to determine the exact circumstances of the incident. They will be investigating themselves, and find that they did nothing wrong.
American forces, along with several allies, have been conducting Operation Prosperity Guardian, a mission to protect merchant traffic in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden from Houthi threats, for the past 14 months. The group claims to have downed several MQ-9 Reapers, but the loss of the F/A-18 marks the first time a crewed American aircraft was lost during the mission. –RT
