Surprising pilot was able to eject with all that fire and flat spin. If shot at by friendly fire does the computer even warn you?

How bad is your command and control that you fire at a friendly plans taking off from one of your airbases?! Like yeah maybe the computer had a bad return and maybe the ATC just decided fuck putting it on the net, but damn apply some common sense lmao.

A flat spin upside down, no less
