Which will happen on occaision when ‘friendly’ ground forces are not accompanied by a forward air controller. Sometimes it even happens when the ARE with a FAC. I’m guessing NATO pilots only have a vague idea as to exactly where the so-called frontlines are, making close air support next to impossible.
