Nope, feel free to google it (though I doubt you have the desire to do
so, I certainly don't!) but my stance from day one has been that it was

a
fog of war tragedy. Although I will admit to a wry smile when a couple

of
days later an F-16CJ fired on a Patriot radar system (I think I'm right
in saying no-one was hurt in that incident, do you remember anything?).


IIRC the radar got trashed, but no injuries to personnel. ISTR that

incident
*was* a case of "RoboPatriot" screwing up...


Actually it's a case of poor signal identification on the part of the CJ.
That's what you get when you put cheap EW pods on aircraft and expect them
to identify radar signals. I seriously doubt a F-4G crew would have made the
same mistake.
