$hit happens in war. And while the Kuwaitis are definitely not my favorite culture, they aren’t the first in this region to shoot down the wrong aircraft:

For that matter, if you want to go back far enough…

Glad everyone seems to have gotten out alive at least.

Modern combat systems can track and engage multiple targets simultaneously, I'm assuming the shooter launched all three in rapid succession. That's assuming FOX 2 /3, if he rolled in and gunned them, that would be hard to explain 
But I heard on some podcast that there was video of a rear aspect missile hit.
The eagle drivers might have let their guard down once out of indian country, and not reacted strongly to RWR from a friendly platform... although that's starting to seem like a big ASSumption these days.
