Ukraine faces rising questions over whether the F-16 and pilot it lost were shot down by friendly fire from a Patriot missile battery
Briefly

The crash of Ukraine's F-16 has raised concerns over friendly fire, with early reports suggesting it was shot down by a U.S.-provided Patriot missile, though this remains unconfirmed.
However, sources from the Wall Street Journal note that preliminary investigations indicate the aircraft wasn't destroyed by enemy fire, complicating the narrative surrounding this tragic event.
Compounding the confusion, Ukrainian parliament member Mariana Bezuhla has pointed to a potential friendly fire incident due to miscoordination among units, fueling further speculation.
