Some time ago I read the report on the 1991 A-10/Warrior Blue on Blue incident, I had a quick look on the web but couldn't find it. In some ways very similar, mis-id by pilots (despite a correct id by a Jag at 16k) and confussion about the FLOT/FEBA/troops on the ground. Think it recomended better proceedures and some sort of IFF for vehicles, this why we now call them 'Lessons Identified' because we don't learn .
Were the vehicles fitted with BFT? How has pilot training been improved, to prevent mis id?

Another tragic loss of life and many others damaged.
