F-16 Norwegian air force during exercises instead of a target fired at the observation tower

Information Agency Associated Press reports the incident during combat training maneuvers of airplanes of the Norwegian Air Force. The report says that the F-16 fighter, performing the flight, was supposed to strike an air strike against a target that was located about half a kilometer from the observation point. However, instead of the F-16 target, the Norwegian Air Force attacked the observation tower itself, in the immediate vicinity of which there were people (according to some sources, these are three servicemen).

The official representative of the Norwegian Air Force reports that the shelling of the observation post during a military plane’s training flight occurred last week. Events unfolded a few kilometers from the coast - on the island of Tarva.

According to the official representative of the Norwegian Air Force, the observation tower received "minor damage" and "no one was hurt."

The circumstances of the incident are clarified: why the pilot attacked not the proposed target, but the observation tower, and why at the time of the air strikes at such a small distance from the target there were people.

took the tower for the periscope of a Russian submarine ...

Again, Americanists in Western Europe will scream that this is the Russia of their "holy" military Norwegian pilots on a training exercise. like the devil, "beguiled"!

In vain, ironic, in the exercises such moments unfortunately happen. So at one time in the USSR, a flight of the Su-17 due to an error of the leader during the "show" bombed the podium with the guests.

[lis-ik]

And what happened to the guests?

Here, by the way, a similar case is described:

The recent “hummer bombing” in Bavaria is probably from the same series.

It was not without Putin, they will write to the NATO media ..., the Russians went on the attack !!!

You decide what to do with it.

A normal practice in exercises is to shoot not at what you need to, and at the same time to shoot accurately.

Not only Norwegians, by the way

Normal, by the way, practice in exercises. Shoot not what you need, and shoot accurately.

In Hungary, the Su-80 and Su-17 did not miss the test site in the 24s, even at night, not once. To get to the neighboring village - do not FIG. They worked without jeepies and glonasses, only with RSDN (radio engineering system of long-range navigation). And THESE ... Why did he jump on the tower, why are these three alive?

C'mon - they shoot both accurately and wherever it is necessary, only by accident

[Eragon]

The circumstances of what happened

They probably clarify that it was either a Russian plane or a Russian submarine. Such a tradition has appeared among them, among different scouts.

[rotmistr60]

Everything can happen in exercises. He himself witnessed three cases when a gunner lost orientation during night shooting from tanks (BMP) and shot at an observation tower. By happy coincidence in all cases there were no casualties.

[Armax]

Quote: rotmistr60

during night shooting from tanks (BMP), the gunner lost his orientation and shot at the observation tower.

It happened with us too. The novice gunner pulled the stabilizer horizontally and got lost. But as they say, it wasn’t confused, it opened fire from the machine gun, though not from the target, from the tower. At night, the tower with flashlights was also illuminated, but thank God without victims.

[lis-ik]

During my service in the GSVG there was a bike that at night firing the tank shot at the luminous windows of the train. Electric trains in Germany were categorically unlucky. There was a case with a tank abandoned at the railway crossing and this is no longer a bike.

What is it like??

[Same lech]

Sometimes ...
and in our exercises it was used to shell a shell at an observation post.

during planned night firing at the Bobochinsky firing range, the crew of the T-80 tank lost orientation and fired to the side. The shell flew to the back of the range and landed in the observation post.

... people died ... two lieutenants.

[Rurikovich]

This is how to look ... If the damage to the tower is minor, then the pilot is zero Now, if he had smashed it to pieces, then we could talk about pilot qualifications. And so it would be happiness, but misfortune helped and the tower survived

[ImPerts]

And here you don’t even know whether to be happy or upset.
On the one hand, everyone is alive, on the other - also misses the enemy ...

[Aaron Zawi]

This is yes. A couple of weeks ago, while practicing "rapid fire", one of our tanks received a shell in the stern from a car from a neighboring company. Someone there crossed the unny bisector. In short, the higher the intensity of the exercise, the more frequent the mistakes.

Well, how is the "Merkava"?

[abrakadabre]

There is a double ambush:
1. If Merkava could not stand it - horseradish tank.
2. If you survived - worthless shells to her.

Fine. The main thing is all intact.

[Same lech]

In short, the higher the intensity of the exercises, the more often mistakes.

From friendly fire, sometimes very significant losses happen ...
unfortunately, no one is safe from the human factor in case of accidental shelling.

[seregatara1969]

at night it’s good to choke into the transmission by the side lights

[Dmitry Potapov]

Which is easier then attacked. In NAT do not learn to aim, I saw a large one (camel, escort, hospital, wedding) shoot!

[Alexander 3]

Three servicemen who came under fire for a lifetime will remember how to dodge the attacking plane, or quit. There is a positive effect in this matter.

Not so aptly ...

[PKK]

Well, the pilot will catch up, and after that he will shoot competently, if not, then he will be kicked out of aviation.

and he, heartfelt, will go into politics about the Russian threat, or, to the extreme, military experts, but he will still tell about the same ...

[Uncle lee]

Apparently such a tradition, to hit the tower! And if they don’t peek, they will jinx it!

[Taygerus]

why did he attack so much that minor damage to the tower, it’s good that there weren’t any excavators in the vicinity, otherwise it’s all kirdyk, in NOTO excavators do not like

[Barakuda]

Inadequate enough everywhere. My father had a subordinate (Uzbek truth) under the USSR, from a grenade launcher managed to shoot towards the observers (given 7b) and back to his historical homeland ..
Another thing is the most complicated technique, here such blunders are unacceptable. Although NATO can ..

[Ros 56]

And these clowns are going to fight with us, but they themselves will kill each other before they reach the front.

[loginovich]

You won’t drink skill.

[sounddoc]

In connection with the treacherous entry of the Norwegian F-16 into the observation tower, the NATO Secretary General called on the West to impose additional sanctions on Russia ... Urgently send McCain to them, let them teach them how to fly and get there)))))))))

[Homeless]

Get captured.

[sharp-lad]

For starters, their comrades who did not have time to take off from an aircraft carrier got on the planes!

[kamski]

As for the HIGHS, when I was serving in the army, it was a fairly common occurrence in training firing, and they shot at the towers and shot at military vehicles that went on parallel courses. This is the cost of combat training

[Holsten]

Hit your own and strangers will shake with fear. In general, NATO members are spreading so much about the "friendly fire" - are we not witnessing such a training exercise?

[Bramb]

You laugh completely!
They didn’t get to the hospital - it’s already good.
The most accurate weapon! NATO says so. They will not lie. Probably...

[AdekvatNICK]

not only did he shoot at his own, but he didn’t kill the target. NATO it is, it’s immortal only at briefings.

[Vetal999]

Apparently, they told him disgusting things after a miss on the target, and that’s the post.

[Homeless]

Ange, I see the goal

that 200,
and what is the purpose?
