I’d say that was worthy of its own thread (mods?) as a new and significant accident. The lack of regard for forward-firing weapon safety beggars belief, and questions there for the French, too: whatever the host nation’s attitude to it, allowing your own aircraft to be put at such risk seems unwise, at best. But never mind missing the C-130, how on earth did it miss the fuel bowser directly in front of the aircraft? And then of all the things to hit... well, see the link. Very sad. Someone is in VERY big trouble.
