A Dassault Mirgae 2000D (of BA133 Nancy/Ochey) crashed about 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of Farah in Afghanistan while accompanying a convoy. Probably due to technical problems. Recovered by United States Marines who blew it the fuck up, not once, but twice with C-4 charges.
Both crew ejected safely and were unhurt.
