Dubai: The U.S. Navy made a big mistake. A U.S. Navy ship “accidentally shot down its own fighter jet.” There were two pilots on board. After the US Navy made this mistake, the Pentagon caused an uproar. It is reported that the Navy warship shot down its own F/A-18 fighter jet with two pilots on board. The U.S. Army provided the information Sunday.
Fortunately, the lives of both pilots were saved. The Army said both pilots were alive and one suffered minor injuries. What I can tell you is that this incident occurred when the US military conducted an air strike against the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. However, the U.S. military’s “Central Command” did not disclose during which mission the incident occurred.
Attacked Houthis after mistaking their fighter jets for them
The fighter jet shot down by the U.S. Navy was believed to be a fighter jet belonging to the Houthi armed forces in Yemen. Action was taken immediately thereafter. But when the fighter went down, the Marines realized their mistake. Fortunately, the lives of both pilots were saved. “The designated guided-missile warship USS Gettysburg was part of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier strike group,” Central Command said in a statement. The warship accidentally opened fire on an ‘F/A-18’ and took it shoot down. This “F/A-18” took off from the “Harry S. Truman” aircraft carrier. (Associated Press)
