Russian ship burned a USN Helicopter pilot andf a Canadian observer in WA State, IIRC.

Right you are, we have to consider how we are going to defeat the system once it's used against us. Everybody can't fly/stay NOE all the time. We will be vulnerable to producing our own collateral damage, even with retarded weapons. I used to fly through my own secondaries, and had mud all over the A/C a time or two from pickling rockets too low and too close to the target. My CO wasn't very understanding, even when I explained I chose the only way to knock out the target in question:
