@@Lynn-i2w Independent all the way. I use Epoch news and All the independent on YT. It's the only way to get the proven facts with documentation. Redacted goes in depth with experts and facts.
I find it hard to believe it was friendly fire because in the navy you always double check and some times you do a tripple check before firing. Friendly fire does happen from time to time and some times some one goes hog wild to get a kill shot in. All US military planes have a tracking system in place that identify's each individual aircraft.
All military aircraft are equipped with an IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) system that has to reply with a coded signal when challenged by air defense systems, an AEGIS cruiser in this case. If the defender doesn't receive the correct return signal or none at all ... "Weapons Free." I suspect the Super Hornet's IFF system malfunctioned or was damaged. I know I sound coldhearted about it, but hey, it happens. I surmise the Truman was conducting nighttime airstrikes and the cruiser was positioned to protect the carrier against return drone or missile fire from Yemen. You can guess the rest.
The aircraft could have been flying in a way that resembled a cruise missile. A trigger happy dude may have given the GreenLight for the automated air defense to shoot it down.

For those who don’t know pilots have a switch called IFF which indicates they are a friendly aircraft. If your IFF is off an you’re in the air - when targeted by radar it won’t show you’re a friendly track. It’s part of standard startup procedures for every aircraft that has one.

US Navy pilots should be defending their waters in their own country.. why do they have to go to other countries and fight for their freedom's? when their freedoms are attacked by their own country!

The US is in the Red Sea near Yemen to fight off the Houthis because they are firing at Israel…pure and simple. Many Americans died because of Israel (the Iraq war was because of Israel)
Also, on the backing Israel side. Both countries NEED EACH OTHER against this enemy that both have. The reach and intelligence that the idf has had to invest is way more than the usa has under this administration. Usa is already in danger on their soil. So letting Israel stand alone does not benefit the usa and it is morally wrong to do so also.

That is undoubtedly a troll
A "friendly fire" incident over the Red Sea? Bullsh*t.
U.S.S Liberty…..
This guest is a propagandist for Israel.
Friendly Fire,huh ? 😮
friendly fire?
How?
How do you not know what your own planes look like?
RIP USS Liberty 1967
Shot down by mysterious drones.
I call bs.
The Houthis brought it down with SAMs. Lets jut be honest with ourselves.
After reading about pat tilman im skeptical to believe this friendly fire story.
A) what does Tillman have to do with anything and B) you do know how 'friendly fire'(blue on blue) works, right? Its not accidental, its because someone got misidentified and deliberately fired on. In Tillmans case, he was downrange in a firefight and got misidentified because he was running around in the dark with an Afghan; who also got smoked, BTW.
"I read TH-cam comments who said Pat Tillman was murdered by his own"
What you actually mean't to say Ghost face.
Shame on the commenters below who are bringing up an incident from 1967, and trying to pin this downing of American planes on Israel.
The incident from 1967 needs to be remembered.
DEI operators
Has having incompetent DEI-recruited naval personnel caused this?
Did you see who they recruit to NAVY? I am surprised this didn't happen before
So houti rebels say they shoot missles in defense of Gaza. They shot 200 missles at Israel but probably injured more in Gaza with one rocket than in all Israel strikes
That's bs
Shot by who? Israel?
It's a lie, it was Ironman.
Dafuq
How is getting shot down considered friendly fire
Do you know what friendly fire means?
