A Marine V-22 went down in Norway, during the NATO exercises near the Russian border
A US Marine Corps aircraft with four people on board went missing in northern Norway during the “Cold Response” NATO exercises in the Arctic, the Norwegian military confirmed on Friday. A possible crash site has been located and rescue crews are trying to reach it overland due to bad weather conditions.
The V-22 Osprey was on a training mission and was due to land at the Forsvaret Air Force base of Bodo at 6 pm local time on Friday, the Norwegian military said in a statement. Its last known location was at Saltfjellet, a mountain range in the Nordland province.
Search and rescue efforts were launched by 6:30 pm local time, and “discoveries were made from the air” at 9:17 pm, at Gratadalen in Beiarn, the military in Oslo added.
