I believe 'noske' (Post #36) had more in the post yesterday
No, certainly not me.
Will the report be published in English?
Not likely. Your best source for English summaries of BFU reports is usually Aviation Herald, but they don't cover this particular accident (doesn't fit their charta).

Things in the report that caught my eye:
  • In the AIP excerpt (p. 43) it is suggested to give the "follow me" signal from a position slightly above and to the left ahead of the intercepted aircraft. The pilot of the damaged fighter just states that he was "to the left" of the Learjet (p. 34).
  • Communication just before the collision (pp. 32-33): Starting at (t-18s) the controller gave a lengthy instruction to the Learjet, which the PIC acknowledged at (t-5s). At (t-10s) the FO said "Can you take over, I can't see him any more", and the PIC replied at (t-2s): "Take the computer, please" ("Nimm mal den Computer"). Said computer would have been a tablet computer that they were carrying as additional navigation equipment (p. 36).
