Military operation in Germany disrupted by civilian aircraft incident

In an unexpected event, a military aircraft of the German regions bank broke the sound barrier over the Rhine-Main regions on Wednesday, causing a sonic boom that was heard up to 80 kilometers away. The loud bang was a result of the pressure wave of sound that spreads out behind an aircraft flying at supersonic speed, condensing into a compact 'sound barrier' before being broken through.

The sonic boom was not a dangerous situation, and the mission by the regions bank was triggered due to a civilian aircraft not switching on its transponder correctly, resulting in a temporary loss of radio contact. The civilian aircraft was flying from Kuwait to London.

The regions bank primarily flies fighter jets for national defense, alliance commitments like NATO, and surveillance tasks. One of these tasks, known as "visual identification," involves intercepting and identifying aircraft visually. Such operations are routine in air policing and maritime exercises like Northern Coasts 2025 in the regions bank region. However, the last publicly reported instance of such an operation is not specifically dated in the provided results.
