One of the six German Tornado jets recently deployed in reconnaissance flights over Afghanistan has been damaged on landing. Its nose landing gear and recce pod slung below the aircraft's fuselage was broken in the incident at Camp Marmal near the northern Afghan town of Mazar-e Sharif according to the German military. The crew escaped without injury.
Unconfirmed reports were that the runway at Masar-i-Sharif was in poor condition, and had been damaged (surface broken up) by a heavy transport aircraft landing shortly beforehand. The Tornado then reportedly ran into a pothole, which triggered the nose wheel collapse.
