A pilot has died after two Eurofighter jets crashed mid-air over northeastern Germany, according to local media.
The pilot of the other jet was reported as having parachuted to safety following the collision, according to n-tv television.
The German jets collided shortly before 2pm on Monday near Lake Mueritz, north of Berlin.
They had been taking part in an air combat mission with a third Eurofighter aircraft.
Both pilots managed to use their ejector seats, according to the German air force.
The third pilot reported seeing two parachutes descending to the ground after the crash, the German force said on Twitter.
But while police in Neubrandenburg said one of the pilots was found alive in a forest, they told broadcasters that the other pilot had been killed.
The jets crashed near the Laage military base in the eastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
A video posted online after the crash showed two plumes of smoke rising from the ground.
Police warned the public not to approach potentially dangerous wreckage from the planes.
Firefighters were deployed to tackle any blazes caused by the crash.
The German air force said the jets were based in Laage, near the Baltic sea port of Rostock.
