| Two-Man British Tornado Downed by U.S. Missile |
| 2003-03-23 |
| A British Air Force Tornado jet was shot down by a U.S. Patriot missile on Sunday in the first reported incident of "friendly" fire since the Iraq war was launched four days ago, British officials said. "We can confirm that a Tornado GR4 aircraft from RAF Marham returning from an operational mission was engaged near the Kuwaiti border by a Patriot missile battery. The crew are listed as missing," he told reporters at Central Command headquarters in Qatar. An investigation was under way, he added. The Tornado GR4 is a two-seat supersonic attack plane. I try not to use bad language here, but... SHIT! |
