    I keep reading the thread title as clickbait

    Yeah. One of the most famous was a USN F-14 that shot down a US Air Force RF-4C in an exercise in 1987. Apparently, it wasn't an accident - his WSO was screaming at the pilot while he launched. He was "exercised locked" and lost his mind. The Navy took him off of flight status, but they made up for it by nominating him for admiral some years later. The Senate denied him his flag.

    ...and now the russians announce they'll move S-300 missiles in two weeks.

    Testing ground for the inevitable F-35 - SA-10 matchup. It's hard to believe that the 40-year-old system isn't fully countered by the F-35 countermeasures, but I suppose we'll see. Initially, Israel will undoubtedly preempt their emplacement. Lots of opportunities there for dead Russian soldiers and technicians and further escalation.
