You won’t get real journalism on this station. Switch to Democracy Now or Al Jazeera. I did a year ago and what a difference! I will never go back to mainstream. Only to see how they cover it like this.
@@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.
Multiple reasons behind this.. either IFF was degraded or malfunctioned, ships radars malfunctioned, ships air defense systems malfunctioned, human error of trigger finger.. there’s a lot of plays.. I promise that someone did not sit there, tell another member to engage friendlies, with others watching and observing the orders..
Israel didn't recognize the USS liberty when they tried to blow it to pieces. Then continue to shoot at it from close range with a huge US flag on top of it. Some people are blind in war I guess.
I know they said "friendly fire", but that could be us or one of our allies, are we sure it was the US that shot them down? Wouldn't be the first time our ally in the middle east attacked something of ours.

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.
Houthis ( desert bandits) have a better air defence system than New Jersey. They can shoot down F-18s but New Jersey is totally powerless against drones
🙄Sounds like incompetence at the highest level🤨 That blunder almost cost us valuable pilots, and did cost us over 130 million in jets.. This Government and our military needs a total overhaul😢
Yup!!! I laugh at any sort of govt or military higher ups news like this. I'm heartbroken for the military men and women that get attacked but arent authorized to protect themselves with the force they can unleash.
I wish the whole world could just get along. Wars are terrible, they cause so much pain. I hope the countries involved can figure out a way to end the fighting in Yemen
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 U.S. economy is trade driven and has been for centuries. Keeping the trade lanes open is defending U.S. interests and the Islamist plague is currently the primary threat to open trade lanes.
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.

Youve definitely seen videos of CIWS about remove civilian aircraft from the registry for flying too close to military airspace. As advanced as these things are, they are just as flawed.

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.
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
How the hell do we have friendly fire against our own aircraft? That is horseshit.

It happens all the time. We had at least 3 in Iraq and one where a F16 got painted by a PATRIOT and took out the RADAR before it fired.

Also, operations in the Red Sea are dire, and much of the tech is dated. Combined with sailors being hella sleep deprived and small boys almost always in GQ, mistakes are going to happen. This isnt an insider job, its not a bigger enemy at play, its not anything other than the result operator error due to outdated and improper maintenance
What is going on - do we not know what we are doing - there ain’t no other fighters in the air folks
Wasn’t this ‘during’ a mission attacking Yemen?
How do u not know from friend or foe
It reminds me of when Israel shot at a us military vessel many years ago. Coincidence?
I wonder if Israel is really our friend.
Of course we all know it was useless DEI wahmen pilots.
Seriously? DEI had nothing to do with it. Women have been flying Combat planes since the 80s. Grow up.
100% no doubt 😢
@@connieellerbe-maycock7115regardless. This is the trouble with a program like DEI. When it’s known someone can get in without merit, everyone’s merit goes down the drain.
DEI is almost over. MAGA. I HEAR YOU SALTY. WAHMEN. LOL. YOUR PROBABLY RITE.
NO MOR PINK HAIR IN MILITARY. BAZerker’s rise !!

That is undoubtedly a troll
Sent ppl to the moon with about as much cpu power of an ipod, shoots down their own planes and cant detect a damn drone...
Anyone remember all the military equipment left in Afghanistan?
A "friendly fire" incident over the Red Sea? Bullsh*t.
U.S.S Liberty…..
No way was this friendly fire
Friendly Fire,huh ? 😮
This guest is a propagandist for Israel.
I call bs.
Shot down by mysterious drones.
RIP USS Liberty 1967
friendly fire?
How?
How do you not know what your own planes look like?
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 UA-cam comments who said Pat Tillman was murdered by his own"
What you actually mean't to say Ghost face.
Russia said they would supply the middle east with weapons in response to the u s supplying Ukraine.duuuuuhhhh.
DEI operators
The Houthis brought it down with SAMs. Lets jut be honest with ourselves.
Has having incompetent DEI-recruited naval personnel caused this?
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.
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?
