German Air Force Tornado makes erroneous bombing near the borders of the Netherlands

It became known about the incident that occurred with the fighter-bomber of the German Air Force. The Tornado aircraft performed a training flight, during which the pilot was to carry out bombing at the Nordhorn test site, located in the immediate vicinity of the border with the Netherlands.

At a certain stage of the flight, the aircraft, having flown out of the airspace above the range, dropped two aviation bombs. Reportedly, we are talking about "bombs for performing training sessions."

Representatives of the service personnel of the Nordhorn test site, as well as the base to which the Tornado is assigned, began to search for the aircraft munitions dropped as a result of mistaken bombing or what was left of them. At the same time, they disseminated an appeal to local residents, so that if "unknown items" were found, they would not be touched or transported, but reported to the police.

Press service of the German Air Force:

No one was injured as a result of the incident, no material damage has been recorded at the moment. We will carry out a procedure to find out the reasons for what happened.

Last year, the German Ministry of Defense made a proposal for the phased replacement of Tornado fighter-bombers with Eurofighter combat aircraft, as well as American-made aircraft. However, until now, the Bundestag (German parliament) cannot decide on the financing of the air force rearmament program, and therefore the pilots continue to use aircraft, many of which are more than 30 years old. According to the current program, the operation of Tornado in Germany (subject to aircraft modernization) is expected until 2025.

And because of such a trifle they fly anywhere? Something I can't believe. It is not for nothing that they laugh at the Bundeswehr in the very nemetswehr

Well, maybe the pilot is attached to the plane once and for all. And many have been flying for more than thirty years. Old ones, reflexes are not the same, memory fails.

Something this vaguely reminds anecdote about an old count, a young countess, and a conjugal debt against the background of sclerosis

There, the count too, everything is at the level of reflexes, "muscle memory" was ...

M-dy-i ... "Precision bombing"

The main thing is GOT! ... history
There the names of the pilots, the entire Luftwaffe, and what is there - the whole "NATO" - "OTAN", will be inscribed in large, but by no means gold letters.

[AlexVas44]

Interesting. Well, I made a mistake with going to the range, but what landmarks and targets did you bombard? Where will God send?

Interestingly

There are few interesting things, it may seem strange - but this is a familiar thing, although it is clear that there is little good.
The Germans were unable to agree with the Dutch that they would keep quiet.

What to negotiate. They were on their territory. Close to the border, but on our own.

They were on their territory.

This means that we did not agree with our own.

He's got a navigator for a spanking pispandorin. You croaked in place, he pressed the reset button and pressed.

The stopwatch did not turn on, when entering the combat course, it did not control it in the old-fashioned way. The mouth was gaping, did not work on the combat path.

[Lech from Android.]

We would have hit the dwarf state of Monaco or Luxembourg with one bomb ... and there is no Luxembourg with Monaco. Here you will not miss, you will definitely get somewhere.

[rocket757]

It happens ... and not so "dropped", for various reasons.
Practical - training ammunition, not a very dangerous thing, if you figure it out, except that a direct hit on the "target", yes, it is dangerous.

[cniza]

We also have such cases, but the territories and opportunities are incomparable ...
Good time!

[rocket757]

Welcome
If you count how many super-dangerous military ammunition "lost" ... somehow it becomes uncomfortable.

[cniza]

Yes, especially minke whales and not at all simple ammunition ...

[rocket757]

Almost everyone who has a super dangerous thing and it was not in warehouses was noted here.

[Boromir1941]

everything is strange. they will fly in the wrong place, then they will drop them in the wrong place. what are they - ku-ku ?!

[Ros 56]

And what did you want from the rainbow ones, now the army of the striped ones will grow. It pleases me, because it will not be an army, but a gathering ........ Hmm, I can't even find a word.

[Cowbra]

Yes, the navigation system has given up old age. That is, they usually flew over a pack of Belomor, and here he also spilled coffee on it. PiSi: where did he only get a pack of Belomor in Holland? Oh well yeah

[Ros 56]

Yes, it was necessary to hit right across Amsterdam and ... all the same, they would have blamed the Russians. They now have it squeak of fashion.

[Egoza]

Quote: Ros 56

. all the same would have been dumped on the Russians. They now have it squeak of fashion.

They will find a cigarette butt from Belomor near the "bonba" and they will definitely dump it on the Russians.

[Mouse]

Maybe it’s not the bobbin .... the dumbbell was sitting in the car?

[cniza]

They better train with their hands, there is nowhere to fly and train ...

[Mouse]

They better train with their hands, there is nowhere to fly and train ...

They should sit on the ground! The very thing ... everyone can sleep more peacefully ...

[cniza]

If they want, let them rent polygons from us and train ...

[Mouse]

You will also say .... you can't do it .... on our training grounds against us the same force is allowed to grow .... do not joke so...

[cniza]

So it is better to be supervised than to frighten the peoples of Europe ...

[Mouse]

They are already under supervision ...
And in Europe, what is "under", what is "in" .... violet ... you understand tolerance ...

[cniza]

I understand everything, but not to the same extent ...

[bar]

Why are these games in "Square"? What other "eurofighter" and war games? Launched striped ones, pay them your 2% and sit on the priest exactly.

The pilot was guided by the WWII map.

[cniza]

They are very crowded there, so it is not surprising, they have nowhere to train ...

[Svetlana]

Oh, God. It was not the plane that made a training flight, but the pilot. And he bombed, too, not an airplane, but a man at the helm. The plane is an inanimate object.

[Ruslan Sulima]

Well, I missed, with whom it does not happen)

[Ruslan Sulima]

Just add.
A long time ago, in the 80s, he told the following rhyme:
From our Phantom to the hour of dawn
Rocket fell and fell
Lost where and how we don’t know
Let's face it, we are perplexed
We contact this newspaper
To all who find it with a convincing request to return

Will they buy American planes and immediately the bombing accuracy will be 100%, but there is no need to train pilots? They would say bluntly that the training of pilots is lame, otherwise they are trying to write off the old planes. And for the Dutch this is a sign from heaven - "stick out" less guys, or maybe even on your head. Some (the Danes) have flags falling from the sky, and some have bombs.

Wow, damn it, I almost crumpled the tulips
