“Something went wrong”: accidents with the Dutch military have become more frequent

The Dutch press notes an increased number of accidents occurring with members of the Dutch army during NATO exercises. As the country's Ministry of Defense explains, the maneuvers are necessary to prepare troops for participation in a major conflict.

Something went wrong

- noted in the publication De Stentor.

As indicated, according to the Ministry of Defense, in March, during exercises in Germany, as a result of a collision with a CV90 infantry fighting vehicle, Dutch soldiers from the 43rd mechanized brigade were wounded, who after the end of the maneuvers were supposed to be transferred to Lithuania: the soldier survived, and the senior lieutenant, despite He was resuscitated at the scene and died in hospital.

Four days later, a soldier from the same brigade was wounded in the same area. According to the military department, he was hit by a car.

Recently, during the Steadfast Defender exercise, five Dutch soldiers from the 13th Light Brigade were injured in Germany as a result of a collision between a Fennek armored car and a Boxer armored personnel carrier. Three servicemen required hospitalization for treatment. Two other soldiers received bruises.

As the military department indicates, all incidents will be thoroughly investigated.

- Conclusion? ...

If you don’t do anything for the sake of saving money, then when suddenly everything is grown-up, such problems appear. Everyone goes through this and we are no exception.

[Lev_Russia]

- What is the conclusion? ...

For a foreigner during training, everyone needs to make exceptions... So as not to scream loudly in pain, you lay straws for him... And let the soldier smoke at least a little dope on the way...

[NIKN]

such jambs appear.

Well, in Holland, joints are officially allowed...

[fruc]

I can assume: These military men were not sufficiently instructed. It was necessary to instruct them to the point of tears, with a signature in the briefing log.

[Enceladus]

Either they smoked dope or, more likely, it’s clear where the exercises will be conducted. They have a stable situation there after missile attacks, someone from the infact during non-working hours, someone on a yacht got lost, lost their temper, etc.

[Arch]

We need to come up with something new. Who 300 - accidents during exercises. For 200 - the starka has gone sour.

[Cartalon]

Instead of pronunciation, we started to actually cook.

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

The guys are sending limited contingents to the outskirts. And all the victims are passed off as victims of training accidents. Simple practice.

Is this a mystery to you? Russia is to blame!

What conclusion?

Well, so - in the Northern Military District - Russia “covered” them.

[knn54]

Conclusion: there was no need to appoint the “lady” as Minister of Defense.

[Reptiloid]

SO women are trying with all their might to join NATO. And Ursula jumped up, and Liverwurst pushed her away. Also, the non-Baltic girl was kind of puffed up. All haters of Russia. Witches and demonesses, in short. It's a pity that the Inquisition wasn't enough for them

You're stoned!
Either they will die themselves, or they will cripple others.
But there are no others there, so we have to make do with what we have.

[fiv]

Yeah, I bent down to loosen a bed of tulips in front of the headquarters tent during an exercise, and then the FAB from the UMPC arrived

[km-21]

There is no need to savor the small shoals of our enemies.
It’s much more correct to think about your own mistakes,
of which we have much more than the Dutch.

[fiv]

Yes, when you sit with a frowning, serious face, it greatly stimulates the thought process.

[Zaurbek]

So we don’t disguise them as accidents and plane crashes. And the number of NATO military personnel is not comparable to 404, and, as a rule, they are instructors and operators of complex systems such as air defense systems.

But there was no such order! You will think a lot, you will soon grow old

increased number of accidents occurring to Dutch army personnel during NATO exercises

We felt too carefree before and lived in greenhouse conditions. The listed accidents (collision by an infantry fighting vehicle, hit by a car...) indicate that Dutch soldiers do not comply with basic safety standards, and there was obviously no training before the exercise. Some people reach it only through their legs.

[Zaurbek]

You must follow safety precautions and traffic rules

[Machete]

If this is real during exercises, then this is a total lack of training of the military.
Or this is how they legalize losses on the territory of the former.

By the way, the Poles also wrote that 5 people died in one exercise. Not immediately, but over some time. after which the exercises were suspended.
Something to think about.

[Podvodnik]

Have you had any accidents at a construction site?
-No
-Will be ...

[AshPoseidon]

*Extraction" from a pigsty does not lead to good. They were Patriot operators no less. The Dutch are too damn drowning for these air defense systems.

[Amateur]

There is no point in going to Ukraine and fighting with the Russians.

[nepunamemuk]

not only everything
we also
failed...
in the Stavropol region

[HAM]

At least they write them off as exercises, it seems to be plausible.... others can’t come up with anything other than heart attacks “during non-working hours”... and what kind of excuses will the guards publish? We’re waiting in “Charlie Hebdo”...

“Something went wrong”: accidents with the Dutch military have become more frequent

But I consider these happy occasions and I wish there were more of them.

[rotfuks]

Alternatively, with Dutch military personnel, the same accidents happen as with Polish military personnel who suddenly die. Nobody in the Dutch media will write that a soldier and a lieutenant were steering a radar station near Kharkov and came under attack from Iskander. So they come up with some nonsense about training in Germany.

[Luenkov]

From all the above: it’s a pity that we didn’t hear anything useful. Artistic whistling.

[Dva parovoza]

Civilized Dutch in the army need traffic light units (in extreme cases, combat traffic controllers) and sensitive sensors that prevent the engine from starting if a serviceman sits down behind the equipment to have a smoke, have a shit, or even sleep in particularly “tolerant” cases.

[mexanik62]

Well, such exercises are scheduled in order to legalize losses in the Northwestern Military District zone.

The conclusion is this: continuous accidents, their Dutch steering wheel is broken!

[bone1]

What else can you expect from an army of drug addicts?

[Severok]

It seems that these Dutch soldiers suffered in the “exercises” near Novomikhailovka.

[nordscout]

This is the result of a national craze among the population of this country for smoking “high” weed... And this is only the beginning of serious incidents in the Dutch Armed Forces......

[SEVERIN]

I don’t know how combat-ready the Dutch army is, but it did not show itself in any serious wars - hence the conclusion.
