I agree on the fact that he didn't cut the throttle slighty off after joining the drogue; in my opinion the refueling tube was already damaged or weak and so didn't withstand properly the stress. :-/

What i think so that when the AMX pilot missed the first attempt,he became nervous and came with a little more speed and could not manage to get hold of it.There could have been a huge crash if fire the started.

AMX pilot must have been suspended or grounded after this incident.

Actually there doesn't seem to be much turbulence in the air... checking the video again I suspect that the cable failure was not caused by the AMX movements, probably the cable was already damaged.
