In the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Italy lost fighter of the US Air Force F-16

Aircraft of the United States and Italian air forces search the Adriatic Sea after losing contact with the American F-16 fighter. It is assumed that he crashed during a training mission. Reported by the Associated Press.

A statement from the headquarters of the 31 Fighter Aviation Regiment based in Aviano said that contact with the F-16, which was carrying one pilot, was lost on Monday evening. Initially it was reported that the missing fighter did not carry weapons.

The fate of the aircraft and the pilot is still not known.

The search operation involved boats of the Italian coast guard and helicopters of carabineers and the air forces of Italy. The Coast Guard also requested the assistance of three commercial cargo ships in the area. Searches are concentrated in the area of ​​the coastal length of 10 — 15 kilometers between the communes of Cervia and Cesenatico in the northwestern part of the Adriatic.

The Italian agency LaPresse reports that before the disappearance of the F-16 sent an alarm to Aviano. The agency also reports that the other three F-16, participating in the same mission, returned safely to the base.

It is known that weather conditions during the flight were difficult.

“The visibility was poor because it was night and sleet was falling,” said the Italian Coast Guard commander, Cosimo Nicastro.

“Visibility was poor because it was night and it was wet snow.”

Some kind of non-democracy.

The trouble .........

Even if it’s not human, it’s a pity. But the plane? Aircraft - High with it.

“The visibility was poor because it was night and sleet was falling,” said the Italian Coast Guard commander, Cosimo Nicastro.
But did they work out a blow to our Mediterranean connection?
Otherwise, it is difficult to explain flights in difficult climatic conditions.
As karavan noted:Sad, very sad news ... as many as three planes have returned.

[Bashkaus]

Then I have another counter-fight, but was the Moscow cruiser working out the air defense?
Although I looked at the map, they are far from each other))

[Lord of the Sith]

The President was informed:- Mr. President. According to our developed plan, the pilot approached the Russian group as close as possible, but the Russians shot him down. I think you need to call Vladimir and explain. Of course, in the media we say that due to weather conditions they lost an airplane.

To the president of another country, the report left such a plan:- Comrade President! At 22:31, an aircraft qualified as F-16 approached our ships at a dangerous distance. According to the accepted international law, we tried to contact him three times, the pilot did not answer and continued his course to the "Moscow" GRKR. In this connection, it was decided to destroy it. Presumably, the F-16 belongs to the 31st Fighter Wing of the United States Air Force stationed near the city of Aviano.

And today’s news ... this is ... really TROUBLE !!!

And if for .. "adversaries" to tell. so there really is a lot of interesting and good and ... bad

On January 25, six F-22 Raptor stealth fighters, two KC-135 tankers and one KC-10, flew over the island of Sardinia (Italy) on their way back to the United States.

The “invisibles” returning to the Holloman Air Base (New Mexico) were clearly (!) Visible (!!!) due to the long white inversion traces.

Six F-22 Raptor arrived in Al Dafra (UAE) on April 20, 2012 via Moron (Spain).

When six stealth fighters of the 49th fighter wing returned to the continental United States, six F-22s of the 3rd fighter wing flew in the opposite direction (via Lajesh, Azores) to replace them in the Persian Gulf.

PS: Unlike the F-22A Holloman Raptor air base, the 3rd air wing of the joint Elmendorf-Richardson air base (Alaska) is a version of Block 3.1 and is capable of detecting and hitting ground targets with a synthetic aperture radar and 8 GBU-39 SDB bombs.

[Botanologist]

where did they fly?

[dedroid71]

“Visibility was poor because it was night and it was wet snow.”
And in the woods a big beech roamed.
Who is missing? It’s not very clear whether the pilot in the forest got lost or a combat fighter in the radar coverage area?
If NATO has such radars, start up your missile defense even in Poland, even where it is installed. Night, snow, and all, hello

I apologize, are you probably a submariner? If an order is given to launch a missile from a nuclear missile bomb in the US, will you consider yourself a man? Any war is EXTREMELY bad, but now the world. What is the pilot guilty of before you? Our pilots fly, train in the performance of combat missions - there will be an order, they will fly to fulfill, but now ... Do the Americans also not consider them people?

[подводник]

Sergei FID


1. I will fulfill the order and will not chew snot while thinking good or bad I did, and I'm a good or bad person, etc.
2. Pilots of the NATO bloc in absentia have blamed everything on me in absentia.
3.Americans, let it be known to you, people consider themselves only, and no one else ...

And you be above them. A flyer can have children. Since I work in aviation, I have my own attitude towards flyers, get me right.

I prefer not to be higher or lower than them, but that they are strictly horizontal to me and preferably with a bayonet-knife in my forehead!

War is one thing, peacetime is another. It is one thing to fulfill the order, another thing is to condemn the one who executed the order, and quite a third is to condemn the one who gave the order.

Who to judge, performer or customer? What measures to apply to one and the other. Which one is more to blame? Executor? Customer?

No guys, we give out wishful thinking. Our ships must.
"loom" closer to the shores of Syria. And the airfield in Aviano, it's a long way
for F-16 (without refueling). Another thing amuses me: training flights of the invaders (US Air Force base), the Italians call MISSION.

It's strange. Either their ship runs aground, or the infantryman takes Armu off. Now the plane is gone. (how can an airplane "disappear"?)

No, the F-16 somehow and for some reason turned out to be the embankment of Bermuda. It was nature itself that decided the aggressor to punish - fly at home, and do not plant your military bases against civilians. Naturally sorry for the pilot.

anchonsha,
uh, the Bermuda Triangle is far away. It is on the east coast of the United States approximately, with the Bahamas chtoli. It is adjacent to Cuba. There, not far from Miami. And then he fell off the coast of Italy

Fishermen found in the Adriatic a fragment of the missing F-16 fighter

ROME, 29 January. A metal fragment of an American F-16 military aircraft that disappeared from radar screens the night before was discovered in the Adriatic Sea 12 miles off the east coast of Italy.


Part of the fighter at night found a fishing vessel. The fact of his belonging to the missing plane was confirmed by the American side. The fate of the pilot is still unknown.

Helicopters of the Carabinieri and the Italian Air Force, as well as Italian coast guard boats and a search aircraft, are connected to the searches. In addition, several merchant ships are involved in the search for the fighter.

As Rosbalt wrote, the pilot of the fighter at about 20:00 local time (23:00 Moscow time) reported to the ground about the malfunction. After that, radio contact with the aircraft was lost.

F-16 flew as part of a battle group from an Aviano military base in northeast Italy to complete a training mission. Only the pilot was on the plane; there were no weapons on board.
