You Can’t Make This Up: Another U.S. Navy Fighter Jet Narrowly Escapes ‘Friendly Fire’ Disaster |

The recent incident involving a U.S. Navy fighter jet narrowly avoiding a “friendly fire” incident over the Red Sea has raised concerns about the safety of military operations in the region. On the same night that an F/A-18 Super Hornet was shot down by a surface-to-air missile launched from the USS Gettysburg, another jet came dangerously close to a similar fate.

According to a high-level source speaking to Fox News, the second missile missed the jet by only 100 feet as it was preparing to land on the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. The Navy has confirmed that the USS Gettysburg fired a second missile and is investigating whether the missile’s guidance system was intentionally deactivated.

The incident occurred as U.S. forces were carrying out airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. The mistaken targeting of the F/A-18 Super Hornet by the USS Gettysburg has raised questions about the effectiveness of communication and coordination within the military.

The two-seat F/A-18F Super Hornet, assigned to the “Red Rippers” of Strike Fighter Squadron 11 from Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia, had just launched from the USS Harry S. Truman when it was mistakenly identified as a hostile target and engaged by the USS Gettysburg. Thankfully, both pilots ejected safely, with one sustaining minor injuries.

The Navy’s Central Command has acknowledged the incident and is conducting a thorough investigation to determine the circumstances that led to the mistaken firing on the F/A-18 Super Hornet. The safety and security of military personnel involved in operations in the region are of paramount importance, and measures must be taken to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

As the investigation into the “friendly fire” incident continues, it is crucial for all military personnel to adhere to strict protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of all personnel involved in operations. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks and challenges faced by military personnel in conflict zones, and the need for vigilance and caution in all operations.
