There will always be friendly fire accidents in War time. The fog of War tends to create confusion! As one who has been in combat several times I can attest to this. In desert storm I witnessed first hand a friendly fire incident involving one of our tanks and a FistV. The outcome wasn't pretty but fortunately no one was seriously hurt. While it isn't something that someone wishes to happen it does and always will. Even with the best of training and the most modern equipment.

CAP cover is maintained for ground forces, as well as to ensure control of airspace at all times obviously.

It's called "Self defense" a Just in case measure. Even Tornados which are mainly a pure Air-to-Ground jet carries two when bombing Houthi terrorists.
