well done on gettin that "top secret classified" video that the british govt wasnt willing to get
its a shame that there's such a cover up even when it comes to incidents like this.
At the start of the attack in the video obtained by the paper, one pilot notices orange panels on the vehicles and asks whether there could be any friendly units in the area.
His command gives assurances there are no coalition forces in the area.
Pilots open fire but soon the error is realised and they are informed that friendly units were in the area.
They are told: "Abort your mission. You got a, looks we might have a blue-on-blue situation [a friendly fire incident]."
An air controller on the ground says: "We are getting an initial brief that there was one killed and one wounded, over."
One pilot replies: "Copy. RTB [return to base]." A colleague says: "I'm going to be sick."
They then talk about the possibility of being jailed for carrying out the attack.
The first pilot says: "Did you hear?" His colleague replies: "Yeah, this sucks."
"We're in jail, dude," says the first.
The other pilot is audibly upset, saying: "God dammit".
