The Yemeni Armed Forces reported the downing of an F-18 Hornet from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman over the Red Sea and declared "readiness to repel any attack from the United States, Britain or Israel in the coming period,"
Earlier it was reported that the US Navy missile cruiser USS Gettysburg accidentally shot down an F-18 during strikes on Yemen.
According to various estimates, the F-18 Hornet aircraft costs from 50 to 100 million dollars.
American media reported that both pilots were rescued after ejecting, one of them received minor injuries.
What really happened
The F-18 aircraft was shot down by an unknown third party using an unknown weapon powered by an electromagnetic source. An object struck an energy blow, as a result of which a plasma clot formed in front of the aircraft. The plane crashed into this cloud and fell apart.
It happened so quickly that neither the pilots nor other services understood anything.
Therefore, the media only contains information that is convenient for all participants: the Houthis about their participation and the American Armed Forces about friendly fire.
