Even with true intentions and efforts is very hard for such mistakes, chances of having "friendly fire" by mishap or miscalculation are near zero, same are chances for shooting American aircraft with American airforce systems sold to third countries....Interesting - wonder how it was shot down. Very interesting - not sure we will know the truth anytime soon but things got a bit interesting for sure.
If you consider how sophisticated modern IFF systems are and launch firing procedures on validation of IFF codes, i cannot see how it could be friendly fire. It is not as if they need to "fear" Houthi fighter jets, and most drones by themselves are very slow compared to a miliary jet.
But Houthis are not allowed to be capable of crushing any of American omnipotent airforce equipment...this is just bug in the system, not some pro-Iranian guys with bad intentions for usa/isr coalition...
