The wreckage of the E-2D Hawkeye screws flew off into two other F / A-18 Super Hornet, damaging their skin. As a result, more than 2 million dollars worth of damage was caused. Moreover, "more than 2-x million dollars" - this is only by the class of damage. How much "more" has not yet been specified.
At the moment, a commission has been set up that sets out all the details of what happened with the E-2D Hawkeye crew's degree of guilt. It is added that one of the deck aircraft received significant damage, now it is planned to be overhauled.
