He thought they were Iranian aircraft or so I think.

@wrule Yeah if he ignored the Friend or Foe indicator on his dash. Well than had the fact that Iran doesn't have any F15s.

The three i know about were taken by patriot missiles, friendly fire

@Virgo79 I am going by what the video showed and by what experts in missile tech said. I listened to a former F15 jockey talking about what kind of damage a patriot would do. I have heard others say the same thing. Those experts also said that the missiles that took them down were either sidewinder air to air or Iranian ground to air missiles. One of those experts said that either is possible since the Iranian missiles actually work and the aircraft were in range. I am not expert enough to know so I trust what others say.

@hippyjoe1955 they definately came from the ground

@Virgo79 Possibly. I haven't seen video evidence that conclusive. Not saying you are wrong about a ground attack. I simply haven't seen much beyond the contact between the missiles and the aircraft. Impossible to know from those short clips. The experts I listened to were pretty much evenly split so I can't even go by their words.
