What happened
During a scheduled military training operation conducted alongside the Swedish Army, an aircraft was being utilized as a target for combat exercises. While the aircraft was maintaining a level flight path at a relatively low altitude during its cruise phase, it was struck by a surface-to-air missile. The impact caused the aircraft to crash immediately.
There were two fatalities resulting from the incident, as both members of the crew perished in the accident. The event occurred while the aircraft was performing its designated role within the scope of the military maneuvers.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the destruction of the aircraft was not intentional toward the flight crew, but rather a result of an error during the exercise. The primary factor in the accident was that the aircraft was mistakenly shot down by a surface-to-air missile during the training mission.
