In the US state of Arizona crashed fighter F-16


Initially, it was reported that in the desert terrain a pilot was allegedly found alive, but later this information by the American media was refuted. The Pentagon circulated a message stating that the search for American pilots was continuing. Police helicopters and several patrol SUVs are connected to the search operation.

The report says that the process of the fall of the aircraft was seen by local hunters. It was they who reported on the place of the probable fall of F-16. Approximately 4 hours after the disappearance of the aircraft from the screens of American radar were found wreckage of a fighter.

"Russian newspaper" reports that over the past three years, this is the third such incident with the F-16 fighter jets deployed at the Luke airbase.

          Not that the teachings.
          On this base, in addition to the combat drill 23 of the F-35 squadron, there is the training 56th regiment of the F-16, which actually gives accident rate.
          They train pilots for the Air Force, nat. guards, they pass the training of officers in reserve - an average of 400 flyers per year pass through it. The machines are intensively operated, not surprising.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the 4th f-16, in the last 2 months. Against 1 fallen and 1 downed with us ......

        America is a country that poses a direct threat to the existence of Russia. This is our potential adversary, who carries out and will carry out provocations to denigrate our country in the eyes of the Western community. High-ranking American officials have already openly stated that their actions are aimed at undermining the Russian economy in order to destabilize the political situation in the country. From the actions of the US Air Force suffered and suffer civilians in many parts of the world. No longer count how many people died from the bombing by the US Air Force in Vietnam, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan, etc. Therefore, I regard the loss of an American combat aircraft as positive news. Remember the official Washington’s reaction when the Turkish Air Force’s plane shot down our SU 24. Nobody in the states particularly condemned Turkey and expressed regret over the death of our pilot, and some even supported it.

          I'm afraid that "an enemy that has been strangling Russia economically, politically and in the media for more than a year." the loss of one combat unit will not even notice (tea is not lost wing), and this will not become weaker. Likewise, the loss of one combat unit will not change the position of the "enemy" towards us, either for the worse or for the better. We have always been, are and will be a bone in their throats, they are buried to chew. Now, I suppose, the hair on _opa is tearing, that they didn’t press it under EBN.
          In addition, this event did not honor anyone, did not add valor, did not gain fame. Well, we are not involved in it, what can you do! Now, if the fall were the result of counter-hostile measures by "the enemies of our enemy," then yes, there would be a reason for joy and, possibly, pride.
          So, I do not see anything positive or negative in this event. And your positive emotions tend to be considered banal gloating. IMHO.

                  And who was flying with the cadet ?! Not an American instructor ?! And the instructor, this is not a former combat pilot ?! And most likely with combat experience! And even if neither one or the other killed anyone, then in any case the mattresses do not have an airplane and an instructor, which means that somewhere in the world several thousand people survived and that’s good! You can continue to sympathize further!

                    The instructor is just alive. According to the command of the military base Luke, the cadet performed a training flight in tandem with an American instructor flying on a second F-16. The cadet’s plane, for an unknown reason, crashed in a desert area during an air battle simulation. His search is ongoing. So a surge of your emotions, in this case, is somehow inappropriate.

              Hi Seryozha. There seems to be a cadet from Taiwan deflecting during a training battle. Apparently carried away and lost control of altitude or speed. We had this when restoring pilots after a break for a maneuverable air battle in a pair. Two sparks collided with the ground not far from each other, it was not enough just a few meters to reach.

      Scott Pleus, Air Force Brigadier General: “Most likely, the pilot did not survive the incident. But while there is no absolute confirmation, we will continue the search. "

      gloating, maybe not necessary, although what makes you so jarred? Was there a message about the death of the pilots? No, they weren’t found among the wreckage. So: the enemy plane fell - well ... the pilot embroidered - well, God forbid ....

        Well, ka examples in the studio, my friend !!!
        This year, both fighters and STRATEGIES suffered accidents .... and so leave the links to Western resources, where the "evil busurmanes" "choking on animal happiness" (your words) rejoice at the accidents of our aircraft, and even with the death of people .... and the fact that the situation with the aircraft fleet, although it is being corrected, but with such a creak .... so what is wrong in this?
        And there is no need to bring the censor here .... IN itself has long since slipped to its own level wassat .... for those who are in the tank, flip through at least 5 pages of the site and count the number of articles on military equipment, especially their new products, and the number of articles on other topics that are somehow related to the "damned west" wassat

    Guys! We are not Ukrainians, to rejoice in someone else's misfortune. Now, if he had been shot down in a fair fight, then I would have been glad. And nobody in aviation is safe from disasters. Therefore, it is better not to gloat, but to remain silent.

      "I am tormented by vague doubts" -
      Maybe it was not by chance that they began to call us "the evil empire"?
      Somehow easily we learned to rejoice in someone else's grief and envy the success of others ?!
      (M. Zhvanetsky: "They won't help in trouble - they will win the war!")
      Has ceased to say hello to each other - you can get on the "face"!
      (In the GDR, where he served, at the "seedy station" the German always wished a good "time of day", it is customary for them.
      Film "Brother-2": "Why do they ask," How are you? "-" It is so customary for them, although they do not care about your business! ")
      We, too, all greeted, in the days of Lavrenty Palych, "What if a neighbor writes what ?!"
      Why should normal human relationships take root through coercion?

    It’s strange somehow that the pilots were not found right away, but the search beacons? But they couldn’t fly out without them, especially since sparks, which means a training plane, most likely, but such things should first of all be on training ...

    That's it just begun! Who was bombed and killed by a cadet from Taiwan?


    And who was flying with the cadet ?! Not an American instructor ?! And the instructor, this is not a former combat pilot ?! And most likely with combat experience! And even if neither one or the other killed anyone, then in any case the mattresses do not have an airplane and an instructor, which means that somewhere in the world several thousand people survived and that’s good! You can continue to sympathize further!

    Yes, write millions at once .... so speech will be even more fiery, right up to the general you take off fellow .... as always, borderline thinking on the verge of schizophrenia wassat
