While in the navy, I heard from multiple people that the USS Vincennes knew they were shooting down an airliner. It was on an attack path for the ship and did not respond to repeated attempts to contact it. Right behind it were two fighter jets trying to use the airliner for cover, one of which was shot down. All who told me this worked in my ships’ CIC. Just scuttlebut? Perhaps.
On Sunday morning, July 3, 1988, at the tail end of the Iran-Iraq War, an Aegis cruiser in the Persian Gulf, the USS Vincennes, fired two Standard Missiles at a commercial Iranian Airbus, IR 655.
I don't see how any advanced system could mistake a passenger jet for a fighter jet. The signature on the radar would be squawking IFF. Passenger airliners aren't allowed to turn that off, ever.
The same for flight 800, you don't confuse targets, unless you mess up really bad.
Journalists, I'm sorry, let's call them what they are: Talking heads - don't investigate any story anymore. They take what their corporate masters say and regurgitate it like a parrot.
Employed by US taxpayers, to the tune of about one trillion dollars, it is hard to understand how the Department of Defense, the FBI, the CIA can consistently make "mistakes". Increasingly, these "mistakes" seem to be affecting American citizens. Is it a mistake that the medical countermeasure, COVID-19 "vaccine", has killed and injured over one million citizens in this country? It was part of a Defense Department operation known as Operation Warp Speed, approved by President and Commander-In-Chief Donald Trump. Will there be a serious investigation?
Not saying you’re wrong but the P-3 is not the tell you think it is. It would be a surprise to have any significant Navy exercise or operation without a P-3 in the air.

The US nearly shot down a second Navy fighter jet over the Red Sea on Saturday in a friendly fire incident.
Are they just jumpy or incompetent?
Both!

Because of the Covid vaccine mandates & Biden crazy white rage overhaul … I feel our most competent people left 😢
Nelson DeMille also wrote about it in one of his spy novels & laid out the truth
How many times from WW1 on have friendly fire killed our own troops? A lot in Vietnam, but tech has improved a lot since then.
Why since WWI? Illinois units held a special place for Indiana units after the former were fired upon in the back by the later in the Mexican War.

For what it’s worth your explanation does make much more sense than basically “spontaneous combustion@.
