Kampfschwimmerausbildung: Im Tiefflug über den Attersee
Hörsching, 13. Juni 2012 - Als sich eine Hercules-Transportmaschine des Bundesheeres im Tiefflug der Ortschaft Weyregg näherte, staunten die Bewohner der Attersee-Gemeinden nicht schlecht. Über den blauen Fluten des Attersees stürzten sich im Anschluss Soldaten des Jagdkommandos aus der geöffneten Heckklappe ins 13 Grad kalte Wasser.
Grund des Manövers: Der Absprung aus geringer Höhe ist ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Kampfschwimmerausbildung beim Jagdkommando und war in den vergangenen Tagen Übungsthema.
Zusammenarbeit mit den Luftstreitkräften
Das Absetzen von Kampfschwimmern aus Flugzeugen erfordert eine enge Zusammenarbeit der Einsatzkräfte mit der Flugzeugbesatzung und muss immer wieder geübt werden. Damit wird das Einsatzspektrum der Kampfschwimmer maßgeblich erweitert.

Pinpoint precision: Black Hawk helicopter blades come within a metre of each other in daring stunt at Colombia air show
By Kerry Mcqueeney
PUBLISHED: 12:16 GMT, 22 June 2012

In what seems like a deadly game of chicken, this was the moment two Black Hawk helicopters came within a metre of crossing rotor blades.
Spectators screamed and some had to look away as - for a moment or two - it looked as though the aircraft might crash, potentially killing all on board.
The death-defying manoeuvre was a daring stunt performed at an air show in Colombia this week.

An F-16 from the South Carolina Air National Guard sits on the ramp at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan on June 26, 2012. Personnel are deployed from McEntire Joint National Guard Base, S.C., in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Swamp Fox F-16’s, pilots, and support personnel began their Air Expeditionary Force deployment early April to take over flying missions for the air tasking order and provide close air support for troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

Hubschrauber-Training "Hot Blade 2012"

Von 2. bis 20. Juli 2012 findet in Portugal die größte europäische Übung für Luftstreitkräfte statt: Die multinationale Hubschrauberübung "Hot Blade 2012". Das Training wird im Rahmen der Europäischen Verteidigungsagentur EDA durchgeführt. Das Österreichische Bundesheer beteiligt sich mit einem Kontingent von 45 Soldaten und sechs Hubschraubern vom Typ Agusta Bell 212.
Internationale Zusammenarbeit als Schlüssel zum Erfolg

Ziel der Übung ist es, multinationale Aufgaben bei heißen und staubigen Bedingungen gemeinsam zu trainieren. Die Steigerung der Interoperabilität in Bezug auf internationale Verfahren und Standards steht dabei im Mittelpunkt. An der europäischen Übung nehmen auch Hubschrauber-Verbände aus Belgien, Deutschland, Finnland und den Niederlanden teil.

Österreichische Piloten trainieren mit Spezialeinheit
Die internationale Ausbildungskooperation sowie das Kennenlernen aller Hubschraubertypen bilden den ersten Schwerpunkt der multinationalen Übung "HOT BLADE 12". Das praktische Üben mit den portugiesischen Spezialeinsatzkräften steigert die Kooperationsfähigkeit untereinander.
