| In Poland, a MiG-29 flying at supersonic speed tore off the roofs of houses |
| 2024-06-21 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The shock wave caused by the flight at supersonic speed of the Polish army MiG-29 aircraft tore off several roofs of houses in the village of Szalenets in northern Poland, the joint command of the Armed Forces of the Republic reported on the social network X on June 20. The report notes that during a training flight, the MiG-29 from the 22nd Tactical Aviation Base exceeded the speed of sound at an altitude of 1,000 feet (304.08 m). The impact of the sound wave damaged the roof coverings of several buildings. The military gendarmerie and air accident investigation commission are examining the incident, and the army has pledged to reimburse the cost of repairs to the buildings. As Regnum reported, in April 2024, the Polish Ministry of Defense suspended all military exercises on the territory of the republic after the death of five servicemen. In early March, a tracked vehicle ran over two soldiers during a training exercise; at the end of the same month, two people died from injuries sustained in a TNT explosion at a military training ground in Silesia. In April, it became known that a Spanish soldier had died as a result of an accident that occurred during the NATO tactical live-fire exercise Saber Strike in Poland. |

| #8 The impact of the sound wave damaged the roof coverings of several buildings. Quite a difference from "Tore off the roofs" |
