The US lost 3 of its own fighter jets yesterday due to friendly fire[0], is it out of the realm of possibility?

Generally speaking defense contractors do not make more money during wars, because we start asking them to make low-margin realistic stuff, whereas in peace time we get bored and start paying them to design imaginary superweapons.

But we also usually don't blow up our own planes I suppose.
