During an air intercept training mission one of two Eurofighters collided with a private Learjet at an alttitute between 3 and 5 km.

The Learjet played the role of a civil jet which had lost of communication and a pilot with no idea where he is. Target of the exercise was to intercept the Learjet, make visuell ID, make visuell contact and guid the civil jet to the next airfield.

During the exercise one Eurofighter touched the Learjet. The Learjet crashed, both crew mebmbers died. The Eurofighter is reported to be heavily damaged, but the pilot is unharmed.

Its also said, that the pilots in all planes were high skilled with a good training status.
