Quote:

the Su-35 had previously been on combat duty, and had its munitions unloaded for a mock dogfight training mission, except that its internal cannon had not been unloaded due to an oversight. During the mock dogfighting, the pilot of the Su-35 squeezed the cannon trigger to take a gun camera recording of what would ordinarily be a simulated kill. Live cannon shells took flight, and the Su-30SM went down.

Oops!

'twixt the Iranian missile disaster, our Navy's inability to avoid atsea collisions, and now this...in addition to the Malaysian Air shootdown over Ukraine...

friendly fire is a common denominator.

Can't see why you put the Malaysian debacle down to 'friendly fire'

I suppose so but 'unintended target's is probably closer; and I omitted a helicopter shootdown in the 1994 Iraqi war that cost a over eager US Colonel and others their careers. It is referred to as the Blackhawk Shootdown.

Two Newcastle United fans John Alder and Liam Sweeney were amongst those killed.
