On the same night a U.S. Navy fighter jet was shot down over the Red Sea, a second jet nearly suffered the same fate. An F/A-18 Super Hornet – flying a few miles behind the Hornet that was shot down – was forced to take evasive maneuvers after a second surface-to-air missile was fired from the cruiser USS Gettysburg, narrowly missing the second jet by 100 feet while it prepared to land aboard the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman, a source with knowledge of the incident tells Fox News.

US almost shot down second friendly plane – Fox News

The US Navy repeated the same mistake again. A second missile was fired at another F/A-18 fighter jet landing on an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea. The missile was launched by the same warship that had shot down this fighter jet a few days earlier, in which two pilots had barely survived.

अमेरिकी नौसेना ने फिर दोहराई वही गलती. लाल सागर में एयरक्राफ्ट कैरियर पर उतर रहे दूसरे F/A-18 फाइटर जेट पर दागी दूसरी मिसाइल. मिसाइल उसी जंगी जहाज ने लॉन्च किया जिसने कुछ दिन पहले ही इसी फाइटर जेट को मार गिराया था, जिसमें दो पायलट बड़ी मुश्किल से बचे थे.

दूसरा अमेरिकी F/A-18 फाइटर जेट बाल-बाल बचा, फिर लाल सागर में अपने ही जेट को बनाया निशाना!
