A Spanish soldier died during a NATO exercise in Poland

According to the Polish Ministry of Defense, a Spanish soldier was killed during a NATO exercise taking place in the country. The department expressed condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

The Polish Ministry of Defense did not name the soldier, but clarified his rank and the circumstances of the incident - it was a corporal who died in an accident, having been fatally wounded during a live-fire exercise.

Journalists from the Spanish TV channel RTVE managed to find out some information about the deceased corporal. The soldier was 43 years old. He is a native of Ecuador who emigrated to Spain. In 2004 he enlisted in the Spanish Army and was awarded the Bronze Cross for services to his country. The man is survived by two daughters. The Chairman of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez, also expressed his deep condolences in connection with the death of the corporal.

NATO exercises Steadfast Defender, in which about 90 thousand military personnel from the alliance countries are taking part, have been going on since the end of January and should end before May.

It is worth noting that the death of a Spanish soldier is not the first such incident during these exercises. In March in Poland, five Polish soldiers were also killed during exercises, according to some sources. According to other sources, they could have died in Ukraine, but officially passed away as killed in Poland during maneuvers.

Did he really die during a training exercise in Poland? Some kind of pestilence attacked NATO troops during exercises this year.

If they had written directly - he fell at Avdeevka for the interests of world capital)

Earth him glassy!

NATO exercise Steadfast Defender... has been running since the end of January and is due to end before May

And what a very good cover for listing the Ecuadorian Spaniards, African French, Colombian Americans who died in the Ukrainian Reich, as well as other “volunteers”, “advisers” and “observers” from the countries “defenders of true democracy” in the “accident” column. This “invincible defender” will write everything off.
P.S. “Indestructible” is not a typo.)

So for comprehension - Norwegian fishermen picked up an unknown body in a trawl. (In the Norwegian Economic Zone, opposite Lafoten. No one has previously reported a missing person)

Maxim died and the dog with him!

This makes me happy, the earth is glassy to him. For some reason I’m almost sure that he died not during the exercises, but in Ukraine.

[Dirty Liar]

Some harsh exercises this year. They're all dying like flies.

[Vladimir Vladimirovich Vorontsov]

"According to other sources, they could have died in Ukraine, but officially passed away as those killed in Poland during maneuvers" -

- They call it now "death from natural causes"...

[Lech from Android.]

Strange... but I thought that he fell out of the helicopter with a bullet in his head.
A Spaniard has been added to the list of NATO internationals who died in an accident...what can you do in life, such things happen.

[faterdom]

Spain should send a barrel “for exercises in Poland.” With his girlfriend Usrulla.
Well, to express my condolences later.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

We know where they are pointing their weapons and against whom they are conducting exercises. It's good when they die. Let the earth be glassy for him.

[rotmistr60]

The death of military personnel during large exercises is not uncommon. This mainly occurs due to non-compliance with basic safety measures by military personnel and weak control on the part of commanders.

[Nikolay Ivanov_5]

the stupid death of a potential enemy should not cause us sympathy

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

This means that the Spaniards also brought their contingent to 404. I wonder how much?

[ximkim]

Probably very intense training.
The commission will draw conclusions and adopt amendments, since the life of a soldier is priceless.

[HAM]

On the one hand, it seems like a person died, how can one even sympathize with his relatives....on the other hand, why the hell did he go to war, would he raise his daughters...now a wooden cross as a reward.....instead of a bronze one.

People are dying in the most stupid way just at exhibition competitions... let’s say the authorities have arrived, they need to rush in front of him... and some idiot didn’t properly tie a rope knot on his chest and boldly jumps from the fifth floor down (so to speak, storms the enemy from the upper floors) ...naturally falls to his death.
Why do you have to show off such show-offs to your bosses?

[opposite28]

Or he could successfully collect bananas in his homeland in Ecuador. The name of the teachings is symbolic...

[Alt 22]

There have not been such “exercises” with such mortality for a long time)

[Crete 25]

Well, it’s generally uninteresting and it’s unclear why we should report this.

[rotfuks]

Everything as usual. The death of a Spanish soldier occurred from natural causes, while off duty. It’s just that some mysterious pestilence attacked NATO troops. So they die, so they die, and all for natural reasons.

[Dirty Liar]

So, for a serviceman, death in battle is precisely that of “natural” causes. This is part of the risks of his “work”.

[Sergey_С0710]

Here you can only wish for glassy earth.
There's no point in playing with Russia.

[agoran]

Corporal, 43 years old, must feel danger in his bottom.
But as it turned out, a real Indian from Ecuador doesn’t always have a good time everywhere.
