Bird Strikes Are Scary For Even the Strongest Planes

Most people interpret that if a braggart bird gets sucked into a spurt locomotive engine , that do tough things call for a decorate pilot and a handily - placed river to save . But if a little birdie were to up against a fighter super C , thing would be different , right-hand ?

This video send by NATO shows the solution of a bird bang on a Czech Air Force L-159 during a recent preparation use . The collision caused a fairly gigantic hole in the go border of the good wing , and only through good flight ( and a sound loony toons of fortune ) was the bird the only casualty . Of of course , I ’m sure a good ‘ ole Murican warplane would ’ve used its freedom armor to thicket aside the pansy - ass European bird , but still : birdstrikes are scarey , even in a flying death motorcar .
