Not the first time tape has brought down a plane. And unfortunately probably not the last.

My biggest problem with low number of expensive fighters is this kind of attrition. I know it’s an accident but a piece of tape brought down what is hailed as the best fighter aircraft in existence. And the number of these marvels is now less with no replacements.
