Bundeswehr Heron drone crashed in Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, a German-Heron drone has crashed into a mountain. The damage is around five million euros - for the German Army it is the third total loss
by Gerhard Hegman.
In the political discussion about the purchase of armed drones crash of a large education model of the Bundeswehr bursts. In Afghanistan, a Heron unmanned drone crashed into a mountain.
Previously the connection was aborted by the ground station in Mazar-i-Sharif. "The reasons for the connection demolition are still unknown and are now being studied by specialists," said a spokesman for the Bundeswehr on request.
The incident occurred as early as 8 November. A day later, the remains of the drone were then spotted.
The remains were intentionally destroyed
So that the debris did not get into wrong relationships, a fighter aircraft of the type F-16 of the ISAF troops was ordered to destroy the remains, said the spokesman. A recovery of the Heron was not envisaged due to the location of the crash site and the condition of the drone into consideration.
For the federal government, it is the third of a total loss Heron drone in Afghanistan since the start of the reconnaissance mission in 2010. At that time, three drones for 110 million euros from the leading Israeli manufacturer IAI drones were leased for three years.
Originally, the German arms company was Rheinmetall involved responsible. However, the Düsseldorf-based company launched its business in 2012 drones in a joint venture with the military division Cassidian, the EADS Group and now holds only a minority stake.
Serious setback
The lease agreement with the Israelis has since been extended to October 2014, and could again be extended. The Heron UAV with 16 meter span could also be armed to technical changes. However, this also requires a change in the contracts.
EADS has already signaled to stand for an upgrade is available. About a possible job for the federal armed drones also advertises the U.S. manufacturer General Atomics, which builds the frequently used by the U.S. armed forces Predator model.
The damage caused by the recent Heron total loss is after Bundeswehr information at around five million euros. In defense experts the crash is considered a serious setback for the armed forces in their education opportunities in Afghanistan. According to army figures are now only two Heron in use.
The first Heron Air Force was destroyed immediately after returning from the first flight in March 2010 in Afghanistan. They collided when parking at the airport with a Transall military transport plane.
A second model crashed after an engine failure in December 2010. After a failed rescue attempt by U.S. forces, the model was destroyed. Now the third model is a total loss.
