Too bad it was a U.S. Navy Super Hornet. I'm applying the Coulter rule, and the fact that it's been a couple of days and no poor missile tech has been publicly named and shamed tells me it was probably a DEI hire. Add this to the fact that retired admirals are talking about maintenance and staffing concerns... can't wait for the new and improved Navy ads targeted at white guys, fellahs.

I ironically heard this first from Habitual Linecrosser yesterday, thankfully both pilot and radio operator bailed out successfully.
Maybe this is diversity, or could be a new system at fault as whenever America gets a new defensive system, friendly fire incidents has a spike.
Got me in my feelz. Brave little hornet.
Probably one of the CIWS guns, those are semi autonomous - probably popped a warning and the idiot on the confirm button panicked and hit fire without realizing it wasn't a missile.
So at the end of the day, human error?
That's my guess for whatever would shoot at a plane on approach and not completely obliterate it
