Eine C-130J ( angeblich die ZH876) ist am Montag den 12.02 durch eigene Truppen zerstört worden nachdem die Hercules 20km nördlich von Al Amarah bei der Landung beschädigt wurde. Bei dem Unfall gab es zwei verletzte.
Die C-130 konnte nicht ohne Risiko geborgen werden, so wurde sie dann zerstört.
The Hercules plane landed 20 km north of Al-Amarah
An RAF Hercules transport plane has been destroyed in southern Iraq after it was damaged in an "incident" upon landing, the military has said.
Two people suffered minor injuries in Monday's incident, after which the C130 plane was destroyed because of the potential risk involved in recovery.
A military spokesman in Basra said there was no evidence of hostile action during the landing in Maysan province.
The plane had been carrying passengers on a routine re-supply journey.
It landed 20km north of Al-Amarah at about 2010 local time (1710GMT). The two people who were injured have been taken to hospital, but the spokesman would not say whether or not they were military personnel.
It was later established that the Hercules could not be recovered without undue risk and was destroyed by coalition forces.
An investigation is under way, added the spokesman.
