I am curious about the context here

Edit: maybe this?

Likely the friendly fire that costed them an expert pilot and an F16

Yeah - I just came across that article. That’s a pretty serious fuckup, considering both of the systems are supposed to have IFF systems that absolutely can talk to each other.

FF has not been given as a cause for the crash AFAIK. Source?

My local radio station claimed that a Parliament member of Ukraine gave friendly fire as a reason.

It's not confirmed by any military source yet though.
