In other words, glad rag - having maligned and slandered one of the crew members, you then admit that the crash was due to the EM interference susceptibility of the Tornado as built, and not in any way the fault of the crew.


You might want to look up the crash of a US Army UH-60 in Germany in 1987 (and 4 others from 1982-1987) - which caused the Army to modify all of its Blackhawks to provide some level of EM protection.

The USN, on the other hand, from the start demanded that its Sea Hawks be heavily shielded from electronic interference.

Apparently there are radar and radio transmitters close to where Navy helicopters are operating when aboard ship... imagine that.
