In Italy, find out the reasons for the collision in the air of two military aircraft "Tornado"

52
In Italy, the investigation into the causes of the collision of two Tornado fighters over the Marche region continues. The collision occurred at an altitude of about 500 meters during the execution of a training flight by pilots. Reports about it RIA News.



After the collision, both aircraft fell near the city of Ascoli Piceno. The tragic incident itself occurred on Tuesday. The badly burned bodies of two pilots were found the day before, but have not yet been identified. The bodies of two more Italian Air Force soldiers were not found.

In each fighter, there were 2 people (navigator and pilot), among them 31-year-old Mariangela Valentini, who had extensive experience in military operations (Afghanistan, Libya). It is reported that all the pilots had solid experience in performing flights, all had officer ranks (the rank of captain).

Prosecutors say that the fatal mistake of one of the pilots was a possible cause of the tragedy. This version is confirmed by an eyewitness. He says that one of the planes touched the other during the flight, after which both began to plummet to the ground.

Fighter "Tornado" operated by the Air Force of Italy, Germany, Britain and Saudi Arabia.

        I'm sorry for the pilots .. But their "combat" experience says a lot .. so it's not surprising ..

          The leader "Tashkent" was built for us, if "Novorossiysk" can not be remembered by everyone, then every inhabitant of the Black Sea region knows "Tashkent". Let's count how many Italians are in our land. Yes, we did not call them, but for the most part they did not ask to go to the front, let us also remember that of all the occupiers, it was the Italians who were distinguished by the greatest humanity towards the population of the USSR, and fiercely hated the Germans, for stealing supplies from Italy, appropriating food for the Italian army, that is why they called Italians "cat dogs". After the Germans, cats were the most common pets for meat in villages after the Germans. You can also recall that they treated the Russians in the same way in 1812, where the Poles and Austrians stood out for their atrocities. My condolences to the victims and their families.

                  General kindergarten
                  The Soviets inherited several old dreadnoughts from the Russian Empire. But the USSR never had such a powerful and modern one as "Novorossiysk".

                  Taking into account that the Black Sea "Sevastopol" was, as it were, not better ...
                  Nonsense about atomic shells ... And the thing is crowned
                  A former Soviet naval officer who emigrated to the United States recently spoke about how the Novorossiysk was blown up. There he met with the last of the surviving performers of this action, organized, according to him, by the Italians.

                  Those. an unknown American talks about an unknown Italian ...
                  But the most rzhach - the author, describing what kind of super-battleship Novorossiysk was, completely forgot about a small detail - a mine was installed at the site of the Soviet battleship Sevastopol, where Novorossiysk, in general, should not have become at all. Moreover, if the Sevastopol had stopped where it usually was, the explosion would have hit it exactly in the cellars of the main caliber.

                    And if there are any "proofs" and conclusions, I am sure they will be politically motivated. In the situation with "Novorossiysk" - the versions will remain versions, and everyone will have to choose the most reliable one for themselves.
                    But to declare your point of view as the only correct one is at least not serious (ie "kindergarten").
                    The links cited by me are just sources on the basis of which I made my conclusions. If you have other sources, share. All is more useful than idly idiotic. drinks

      Let them die in peacetime, and more - then in case of war we will have less work. There will be less work for us, but this is not the main thing - there will be fewer victims in our ranks, including among the civilian population - these near and dear ones will not be killed !!!

      It is necessary to feel sorry for our own people, and enemies (after all the recent actions of Western countries - say that they are not our enemies) - we must hate and destroy.

      And we will regret them later - as Germans after 9 on May 1945 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Participation in NATO does not mean compulsory participation in hostilities. It was not the desire of European countries to fight in Syria was the first step to retreat, in the subsequent participation in the Syrian issue of Russia made a change in the plans of the United States. NATO members are simply obliged to arm themselves with the same types of weapons as in NATO and deploy troops of NATO countries on their territory, but no one can force them to participate in hostilities.

It seems to me that Russia is not going to attack Italy, just like Syria ... But what can you say about the United States, the provocateur of Poland, the prostituted Baltic republics - if they don't even attack under a far-fetched pretext (not enough strength), but simply provoke any armed conflict with Russia, and here comes the "obligation" - on whose side will "not hostile to us" Italy and its Air Force ???????

        In Mariupol, a veteran of the 3rd ranger battalion was shot from PTRS.

        According to the intelligence of the militias, a training center for recruits from the armed groups of Ukrainian nationalists was organized near Mariupol
        The instructors in it are the repeatedly fired militants, who were lucky enough to heroically carry off their legs from various boilers. However, NATO veterans who passed Iraq and Afghanistan act as senior instructors, and some even remember the famous October rout of the Rangers in Mogadishu. One of those rangers who survived the events of October 3-4, 1993 in Mogadishu, still caught his bullet. The bullet turned out to be one that does not leave a chance of survival - a 64-gram 14,5-mm bullet fired from the PTRS, adapted by the militia for sniper shooting.

      Dear Andrey Viktorovich! Your thoughts are logical and understandable. However, do not compare the joy of defeating the enemy in battle and the gloating over the death of the enemy due to an unfortunate set of circumstances.

        Your point of view is understandable and acceptable to me as well, but, excuse me - they are enemies and pity, and in any situation, I don’t intend to, I subscribe to my comment 100 times and will not change a single word. And for my part there is no gloating, although ... there is no lying - there is, although it does not overcome. satisfaction prevails from the fact that by 4 enemies we have less !!!

        Or do you think they straightened us all there when it was hard for us, when we had grief: Chechnya, Kursk, what is happening in Ukraine now ... Something is not visible to Italian humanitarian aid to residents of southeast Ukraine (still Ukraine) ), you can’t see, even, just words of support to these same residents of New Russia ... And you can see and hear only their jackals barking towards Russia .............

        I hope I answered your comment !!!

        And victories in battle are achieved, including by their victims - call me an evil scoundrel, but if there is even a fraction of the probability that these Italian "innocent and friendly to us" military pilots will not be able to rise into the sky in order to kill Russians ( and in the light of recent events ...) - then let me be a hundredfold a scoundrel, if only we had at least one funeral less !!!!!!!

      "Usual story" about pilots ....

      As a professional pilot, I can assure you that there are no "ordinary stories" in the sky. Either not professionalism, or the usual carelessness. With heaven it is necessary for YOU, regardless of position and rank. The sky does not forgive mistakes!

      And also the battleship "Novorossiysk" was sunk in 1955, killing 614 Soviet sailors.
      In peacetime!

      Aha
      Personally, Prince Valerio Borghese attached a mine to the bottom!
      And sailed to Novorossiysk in scuba gear from the Bosphorus itself.
      The version is unrealistic, although I would like to write off the tantrums of our own sailors for the machinations of an insidious and powerful enemy.
