Nein, I would be more suspecting of bird strike. People in the area dump their garbage that includes old food items all around the flightpath of airfields(due to the open space surrounding them and the rather easy way one can throw their trash out there instead of making the effort to take it to the trash dumps). This attracts scavengers by the dozens and has led to many bird strikes in the past. Both seagulls, eagles and crows throng the flightpath of some localities.
In certain cases this led to increasing the airfield perimeter to deter these poor or ignorant folk that live near the area from dumping their trash near the field. It is sad that just due to poor hygiene and bad attitude of both the people and the municipal government, pilots lose their lives.
The IAF finally took the inititave in a much more comprehensive role as it has suffered just as much(or more in some cases due to the geographical location of some IAFS).

Than the PAF needs a better politic and tactic to clean his flight areas !
