Twelve soldiers were injured in a collision between two Puma infantry fighting vehicles at a military training ground in Germany

An unexpected accident involving two Bundeswehr infantry fighting vehicles Puma occurred this morning at the Kolbitz-Letzlinger Heide military training ground, located in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. According to the previously published official statement of the Ministry of Defense of Germany, planned exercises are being held here. tank brigade, which should work out, among other things, tactics with the participation of the Puma infantry fighting vehicle and the main battle tanks of the Bundeswehr Leopard.

Literally immediately after the start of the exercise, two Puma armored vehicles collided for reasons unknown so far. The accident was so severe that twelve servicemen were injured as a result of the incident, one of them was taken to the hospital in serious condition, according to an official press release from the German military department.

Immediately after the incident, rescue services and doctors arrived at the scene, a seriously wounded soldier was taken to a regional hospital by helicopter, and first aid was provided to the rest of the victims on the spot. Military police are on the scene, an investigation is underway, and possible causes of the emergency are being established.

On this occasion, one can doubt the proper training of the Bundeswehr military personnel in terms of managing not the most complex military equipment. Puma infantry fighting vehicles began to enter service with the Bundeswehr back in 2015. And these “specialists” from one of the NATO countries intend to train the Ukrainian military in professionalism, including the management of modern Leopard 2 tanks, and even on an accelerated program.

Not the most pleasant event for the reputation of the new Minister of Defense of Germany, who has just taken office, especially given the criticism of his predecessor, just about the technical condition of these particular infantry fighting vehicles, and, in general, the inadequate training of Bundeswehr military personnel.

Yes, this happens in all armies.
And a person is sitting behind the wheel , everyone makes mistakes .
Therefore, there is no need to be surprised by the incident.
This is study. And it is in learning that skills are honed.
As the famous Suvorov used to say, it's hard to study, easy to fight.

...... as a result of the incident, twelve servicemen were injured, one of them was taken to the hospital in serious condition

To know their fate is such, but they will still receive insurance.

He could not say such nonsense, Suvorov was a great commander and understood that it could not be easy in battle. Someone blurted out and everyone repeats like fools.

Minus 12 frags. Again, there is no reason not to drink.

I read that in fact the phrase sounds like this - it's hard to learn easy on the HIKING.

It's time for us to get used to the fact that in this case the enemy is "behind the wheel" and any of his failures goes to the treasury of our victory, and they have their own lawyers. Imagine the stormy joy of "all civilized people" if something like this got into the media from our training grounds.

And here, when the ensign Volontir was injured while riding an armored personnel carrier, the exercises did not stop and played to the end. Not that German went, pampered. Now the Bundes will be investigating accidents in parliament for two months. And the Poles will say that the Germans have a bad army, we need to give all their tanks to us, skilled Poles. And more money from above, for the solarium.

And 10 trillion dollars of indemnity for the delivery of Jews to concentration camps by the Poles.

Happenes. A video is circulating on the Internet, showing how a brand new armored personnel carrier burned down during an exercise. The fighter wanted to warm up the food, and apparently set fire to the camouflage net too

[Normann]

not the same Wehrmacht, not the same. This is good for us.

[Viktor Sergeev]

Like Easter is not soon, probably train.

Did you call the traffic police? What is written in the protocol? Passengers unfastened? Did you drive drunk and without a license?

The driver of the rink is to blame (he overtook, cut). And fled the scene of the accident.

They named it Rita. Some kind of Gretchen would be better.

On TV, they announced that Puma and Leopard had collided.

[expert]

Complete nonsense!
Just looked through the German publications. Two Cougars collided.
They write about a very serious collision. But besides that, it's very critical. I quote: "The Puma tanks of the Bundeswehr are theoretically the most modern, but in practice they are not capable."
So they write, "Panzer" ...

[AdinRoman]

In one BMP Petrov, in the other Bashirov? hehe...

This is not by chance the result of the training of Ukrainian warriors.?

Well, let them "train", it will be easier for ours ...

Only they have a license for stupidity? Do we NEVER do this?

It is a pity that "fins are not glued together."
