British Tornado lost to friendly fire

Fox news is reporting that the British Tornado that was shot down by a Patriot missile did not have a functional IFF system. That is a very bad thing to lose in this day and age of automated defensive capabilities.

I'm sorry for the families and the crew. The RAF need to double check their transponders. It sucks, but these things can't always be avoided.
