Between the night of the 21st and the dawn of the 22nd, the U.S. Central Command conducted a precision airstrike on rebel command and control facilities in Yemen's capital, Sanaa.

During the operation, a U.S. Navy F-18 fighter jet was shot down over the Red Sea as an ally.

Fortunately, the two pilots managed to escape.

Although the Gettysburg has more than 100 vertical launch tubes for anti-aircraft missiles, it seems necessary to investigate why this accident occurred in a situation connected by radar and communication.

Yemeni rebels, on the other hand, claimed they were the ones who shot down the fighter.
