A new incident involving a US Navy missile cruiser and a fighter jet has been reported.
It turned out that friendly fire was opened on another F/A-18 aircraft.
Details of the incident were reported by the American television channel Fox News .
Journalists found out that the cruiser Gettysburg almost shot down a second American fighter.
This happened on the same night that another F/A-18 was destroyed.
In total, in a couple of hours, the US Army could have lost two aircraft not from enemy action, but from its own fire.
The second Gettysburg incident ended well for the American military, so the incident was not made public.
The crew of the second F/A-18 managed to escape destruction - the projectile flew 30 m from the aircraft.
The pilots were furious after what happened.
They doubt that the Gettysburg crew is ready for combat missions.
The incident took place in the skies over the Red Sea, where US forces are confronting Yemeni Houthi rebels.
