American attack aircraft "bombed" in neighboring state




According to the portal, the A-10C Thunderbolt II attack aircraft assigned to the 23 Fighter Group, flew from Moody Air Base in Georgia to conduct a training flight and in the process of performing a mission over the state, after an air collision with a bird, inadvertently dropped three training bombs that fell in the neighboring state of Florida.

According to the US military data, the training "bombs" have fallen somewhere near the settlement of Savanni Springs, but no one knows the exact location of the fall. According to preliminary information, there are no victims and destructions on the ground, currently fallen ammunition is being searched for.

The US Air Force reported that the plane dropped three BDU-33 training bombs. The mass of each of them is 11,4 kg, length - almost six meters, diameter - about a meter. Ammunition is very similar to a real bomb M1a-82 226,8 kilogram mass.

BDU-33 - weight and size mock-ups, but they still have a small pyrotechnic charge, therefore, in the event of a missile being detected, it is impossible to touch it

- said the US Air Force Command.

Also, the Air Force added that they are investigating the incident, while joking that “material damage and injuries are not reported, except for the injured bird in the collision.”

          It happens with us too.
          When I was in the army, during the times of the USSR, at the point where I served, I also dropped a blank from an airplane once. She stuck half a meter into the ground, arrived from the airport on a tractor, and dragged her away by a cable. I didn’t find out if by chance it was or the pilot had pinned.
          And a few years before this, the helicopter pilot dropped a small-caliber blank on a herd of cows, killed a cow. The collective farmers brought a cow with a blank in a truck to the airport.

          It's good to get lost when we ourselves are without sin, otherwise we shoot at the reporters, they drowned a couple of planes with Kuzi, and even more so, after a single trip once a decade, we cannot fix it in any way, they drove to SAR to the whole world for laughter. "Night hunter" who burns out the eyes of pilots with glasses ......... yes, full of everything unfunny and shameful. But the warthog was shot with textbooks, this is a frenzy for patriots, immediately both non-professionalism and crooked hands saw

    According to the US military data, training "bombs" fell somewhere in the area of ​​the village of Savani Springs, but no one knows the exact place of the fall.

    training "bombs" BDU-33. Each of them weighs 11,4 kg, length is almost six meters, diameter is about one meter

    Today, April 1st? What are the training bombs 3 meters long, 1 meter in diameter and 11.4 kg in weight? What can you train with a kind of foam?
    In fact, this BDU-33 works like a MK-82 bomb mockup, has a cast-iron body and a weight of 25 pounds. When it hits the ground, it emits smoke to mark the point of impact. But the dimensions are completely different.

    Mass-overall - means the same in weight and size. in addition, why the hell do you need such a fool with a mass of 11 kilos and the dimensions of a torpedo - it won’t fall to the ground at all, it’s a balloon ...

    As if other errors do not happen when bombing.
    In my lifetime, I remember how the FAB-500 guessed because of the faulty attachment of the Su24 to a private residential building, by pure chance there was nobody in the house, but the fuse did not work.
