Czech mates

[Algy]

The key phrase in this tale of derring-do (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2007/10/30/219003/czech-gripen-pilot-in-live-fire-exercise-scare.html)is: "During the first attack the crew of Target 03 heard a clattering sound that they had never heard before."

...nor never wish to again.

Ooops!

"his had been hit nine times in its rear half, "with a good close grouping". "

"The Czech pilots - who had little or no previous experience of live gun firing against an airborne target "

Good advert for the Gripen weapons systems?
