The deployment of a soldier from the Montecuccoli barracks in Güssing (Burgenland) ended in hospital. When the 19-year-old Pandur driver jumped from a wheeled tank, he suffered extremely painful broken bones. After the first treatment, he had to be flown to specialist doctors in Graz.
The recruit completed his service behind the wheel of a Pandur wheeled tank. When the 19-year-old arrived from an exercise at the Montecuccoli barracks in southern Burgenland around 3:30 PM on Monday, he parked the heavy military vehicle in the garage.
bone broken
After the last command, the soldier climbed out of the metal hatch and jumped onto the asphalt. The tank driver landed so badly on the hard ground that he broke his leg. To make matters worse, according to initial reports, he may have broken his arm.
Helped quickly
After immediate medical care, the emergency helicopter crew was alerted. The air helpers took the injured man to the state hospital in Graz. The hospital doctors attended to the patient.
Incidents at the border
Dangerous incidents occurred again and again during military operations. While trying to stop an illegal refugee transport, shots were fired at a small border crossing in southern Burgenland in January 2022. A smuggler had shot at soldiers. The perpetrator was able to escape across the border to Hungary. No one was injured.
Shot from a gun
However, a soldier (19) was seriously injured in June 2021 on a high platform near the southern exit of the Nickelsdorf highway. His comrade had probably fired a shot from his Glock 80 pistol during “target practice.” Both men, militia members from Vienna, were on an aid mission to guard the state border.
