True story - I have a friend who was a CFI for an Air Force flying club in Korea. He had a student pilot almost land at a North Korea AFB until tracer rounds convinced him to abort.
He found his way back to his home base and had some neat little holes in the rudder assembly to prove his raid on the North Koreans.

During the Korean War, 2 F-84s were assigned to hit DPRKAF base. Hit base in Russia by mistake.

Were court martialed for is, but were let off, because USSR would send no one to testify.

Defense lawyer's position was, you may try to prove that my clients were only ones who were in area, etc., but how can you prove attack actually took place, was not Soviet disinformatziatta, etc.

Acquitted.
