Bundeswehr deep flight over Woggersin: residents fear noise and dust!

in the small town Woggersin, not far from Neubrandenburg, a deeply flying Bundeswehr transport aircraft ensures excitement among the residents. On Thursday afternoon, exactly around 11 a.m., an A400m from the Wunstorf air base in Lower Saxony started. This machine flew over Eberswalde and Prenzlau towards Strasburg, where it turned a round of honor before circulating a route north of Neubrandenburg. Residents from Lebbin, Podewall, Buchhof, Neverin and Glocksin noticed the deep overflight, which then ended at 12.25 p.m. at Trollenhagen Airport, like the SVZ reports .

Lothar Prehn, a concerned citizen, expressed concerns about noise pollution, fine dust development and the potential security risk that comes from the training flights. This exercise is part of the preparations for the Bundeswehr Day, which will take place in the Tollense barracks on June 28th. It is noteworthy that three A400m machines had already flown across the area a week earlier.

The Airbus A400M in detail

The Airbus A400M is a high -decker that is equipped with four powerful propeller engines. With a length of 45.10 meters and a load space volume of 340 cubic meters, the aircraft can transport a maximum payload of 37 tons. It also offers a range of 3,300 kilometers with full load. Such flights are an essential part of military preparation and can be carried out at different heights. According to the

The Bundeswehr has already ordered 53 A400m, but so far only five of the machines have been delivered. In addition to these transport machines, the Bundeswehr also plans the short-term acquisition of 4 to 6 C-130J "Super Hercules" transport aircraft from Lockheed Martin in order to avoid bottlenecks in the transport capacities. This decision was made because the A400M is considered unsuitable for certain missions, as reported by the n-tv The C-130J have been in use for over 60 years and are considered proven and flexible means of transport.

The discussions about the Bundeswehr's deep flights and the usefulness of the new planes raise questions about the future of military aviation in Germany. While the citizens in Woggersin take care of their security, the Bundeswehr works to improve their transportation and establish modern fleet.
