兩架歐洲「颱風戰鬥機」（Eurofighter Typhoon）當地時間24日驚傳相撞事故，戰機墜地後，機上的飛行員即時跳機彈出，其中一名飛官被尋獲時已經罹難，另名飛行員則是開啟降落傘後掛在樹上。德國軍方隨後證實此消息，至於詳細的事故原因，目前正在調查。
綜合外媒報導，德國空軍兩架「颱風戰鬥機」（Eurofighter Typhoon）當地時間周一下午2時許在空中發生擦撞，隨後紛紛墜毀。空軍一名發言人表示，戰機在空中相撞之前，機上的飛行員有緊急彈射，搜救人員也隨即抵達現場；根據空軍與當地警方掌握的情報，其中一名飛官彈射生還，另一名飛行員尋獲時已經罹難。

報導提到，其中一架戰機墜落在諾森蒂內爾許特（Nossentiner Hütte）邊緣地帶的一處空地上，所幸沒有造成任何居民傷亡；據了解，另一架戰機則是墜落在10公里之外的森林中，搜救人員也對鄰近森林展開滅火行動。
「颱風戰鬥機」（英語：Eurofighter Typhoon，又常被稱為EF-2000）是一款雙發動機多用途戰機，參與設計與生產的歐洲戰機公司（Eurofighter GmbH）是由數家歐洲的航太公司於1986年時組成，相關的研發計畫則在更早的1979年時就已展開。「颱風戰鬥機」一架造價約1.02億美元（約新台幣32億元），目前是英國、德國、義大利、西班牙空軍的主要戰機。
其實在今年五月，颱風戰機的機身問題就曾引起媒體關注。《明鏡》一篇報導稱，根據聯邦國防軍的相關報告，128架颱風戰機在2017年只有39架具備隨時出動的能力；另據德國對北約的承諾，若是發生緊急情況，德方可出動82架「颱風戰鬥機」。

Two Eurofighters have just crashed near Laage.
Luftwaffe (German Air Force) has confirmed that two GAF Typhoons crashed after colliding midair in northeastern Germany shortly before 14.00LT (12.00 GMT) on Jun. 24, 2019. Both pilots managed to eject from the aircraft even though their health status is not clear at the time of writing. (Update 15.00GMT: one pilot was recovered, one is reported as killed in the accident).
Both Eurofighters were from TLG73 “Steinhoff” squadron based in Laage and were flying an Air Combat Mission along with a third Typhoon. The pilot of the third Eurofighter observed the collision and reported two parachutes descending to the ground.
The aircraft crashed near Lake Mueritz some 100 kilometers (62 miles) north of Berlin, according to EHA News, that also posted a video filmed just after the crash shows two plumes of smoke rising from the ground.
Here’s what could be gathered by means of ADS-B/Mode-S transponders:
In 2014, a Lear Jet with two people on board crashed after colliding mid-air with a German Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon over Olsberg, in Germany. The “Lear” was a target plane operated by the “Gesellschaft für Flugzieldarstellung” (GFD), a civilian company cooperating with the German Air Force for air targeting exercises, while the Eurofighter was part of flight of two Typhoons involved in a Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) training mission, in which the Eurofighters intercepted the Learjet. The military jet safely landed at Nörvenich air base whereas the private owned plane crashed in an unpopulated area, killing both pilots on board.
This is what I wrote about midair collisions between fighter jets some years ago, responding to the questions of readers who wanted to know how two F-16s might collide:

BERLIN (REUTERS) - One pilot was killed after two Eurofighter warplanes crashed over northeastern Germany, n-tv television reported, while the pilot of the other jet was reported as having parachuted to safety.
The fighters, belonging to the German armed forces, were unarmed when they collided in midair near the Laage military base in the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the German air force said.
"Together with a third Eurofighter they were flying an Air Combat Mission," they added. "The pilot of the third Eurofighter observed the collision and reported that two parachutes descended to the ground."

Pilot dies after Eurofighters collide in northern Germany

Pilot killed in Eurofighter collision
Two Eurofighter military jets have crashed in the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, said Germany's air force, the Luftwaffe.
Both pilots ejected and one of the pilots was found alive, hanging in a tree canopy after deploying his parachute.
The other pilot was pronounced dead; police found human remains in the area.
The pilots were part of a trio of Eurofighters flying a mission out of Laage, near Rostock on Monday.
They were part of the Tactical Air Force Wing 73, known as "Steinhoff," a fighter wing that specializes in general air defense and is the chief training center for pilots of the Eurofighter Typhoon in Germany.
After the crash, two plumes of smoke could be seen about 10 kilometers apart

The aircraft collided shortly before 2 p.m. local time (1200 UTC) near Lake Müritz, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) north of Berlin.
'Today is a day of mourning'
Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has announced there would be an investigation into the incident.
"Today is a day of mourning and anguish over the loss of our soldier," she told journalists after visiting the crash site with state Interior Minister Lorenz Caffier. "We share in the grief of the relatives."
Witnesses shared video footage of smoke billowing from two sites reportedly about 10 kilometers apart. Reports emerged that the wreckage had caused fires but that the flames had been extinguished.
At least part of the wreckage fell on the area of Malchow, with police warning locals not to approach. The Luftwaffe said the aircraft were not carrying ammunition.

This is what I wrote about midair collisions between fighter jets some years ago, responding to the questions of readers who wanted to know how two F-16s might collide:
There is always the risk of a midair collision when two (or more) aircraft fly close to each other. Even if some collisions in the past took place because of failures or during engaments, air-to-air combat maneuvering, many (more) have occurred as perfectly working aircraft were rejoining the formation.
That phase of the flight can be extremely dangerous, especially at night: the two pilots, flying in a tactical spread formation, have to tighten the formation. The lead aircraft is reached by the wingman, with the latter initially forced to keep a higher speed (otherwise it would not reach the leader) and then to suddenly reduce his speed to match the leading plane’s airspeed. A distraction can be fatal.
And don’t forget how close the aircraft fly from the moment until landing: once again, a sudden move, a distraction, hence a human error could cause the midair.

Bundeswehr struggles with faulty defense equipment
Manufacturing fault
The Eurofighter is the German military's most modern fighter jet. As a result of a manufacturing error, the 16-meter-long plane's flight hours have been cut from 3,000 to 1,500. The Defense Ministry says the manufacturing error has no consequences for the Eurofighter's deployment.
