Re: US military, technology, arms, tactics
^^ Reading through some material it seems like there was a break in communication or mistake made on USS Gettysburg. It is part of the same carrier group that these F-18s were trying to land on and there should have been multiple layers of protocols followed as the planes approached the carrier into its 'air cover bubble'. Firing missiles is usually the last resort.

Re: US military, technology, arms, tactics
I don't like mocking Ms. Lewinsky. The whole blame should be apportioned to Kilton saheb only. She was starstruck but whatever happened to that fellow's moral compass? He used his power to make Ms. L the villainess in this whole affair. DNC went along with it.

Harrowing Audio from A-10 Warthog Close Air Support in Afghanistan
Harrowing Audio from A-10 Warthog Close Air Support in Afghanistan
May 28, 2023
Comms and video from inside an A-10 Warthog during the war in Afghanistan.
The video and audio give us a glimpse from a pilot's perspective of close-air support to a ground element from the A-10.
During the video, we can hear the team requesting fire, marking the target area with smoke. Multiple Warthogs deliver good guns and there's a very clear change in tone (relief) from the ground element
