The reason for the incident is laughable.

An American aircraft carrier battle group and a Russian task force were carrying out their respective missions in the waters of the Tunisian Strait, and the two sides encountered each other, and there may have been some minor misunderstandings, and then they naturally entered a state of confrontation, which is also a common occurrence for them.

The long-range air defense warning radar of a Russian destroyer has been working, and suddenly it was discovered that there were high-speed targets in the sky behind the Yankees, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the most important thing was that it was flying towards this side. It may be that the long-range air defense warning radar is in disrepair, or it may be that the radar officer made a misjudgment and actually regarded the Rafale M carrier-based fighter piloted by Li Zhan as a cruise missile launched from the European continent!

Now it's lively, the Russian fleet entered the combat state without hesitation, and the Yankees on the opposite side looked at it, hey, it used to be a tacit talk cannon What do you want to do today? It wasn't until she saw the other side open the launch tube cover of the anti-ship missile that the American grandmother became nervous - you really came here!

Then the American aircraft carrier battle group also sounded the air defense alarm......

The United States immediately released two Super Hornet carrier-based fighters and began to cruise on alert over the fleet, and then two two-seat attack Super Hornets carrying anti-ship missiles took off into the air, and the purpose was very clear. They felt very strange that they could meet Russian warships almost every day in the Mediterranean Sea, and on the surface it seemed that the atmosphere was tense, but in fact everyone knew it in their hearts, and the mutual fire control radar could illuminate it, and no one thought to come to it really. Although Russia's naval power is very obscene, they will really do it if they are in a hurry!

The soft ones are afraid of the hard, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the dead.

After the Soviet Union was gone, Russia successfully evolved to the level of "unfatal", and whoever encountered it had to be weighed. The Yankees will strike at Afghanistan and Iraq and many other countries, but who has ever seen him say that he will fight against nuclear-armed countries, let alone the five constants, even if it is Iran, they will think twice.

Li Zhan rushed at a top speed of 2,400 kilometers per hour to the depths of the western Mediterranean Sea before discovering the fleet in the east, of course, the first thing he found was the Super Hornet over the fleet, and the identification system quickly gave instructions after the radar found the target: four F/A-18E/F fighter-attack planes.

After thinking about it, Li Zhan turned off the afterburner and turned to the left, and at the same time did a side-slip dive maneuver, and began to draw a beautiful arc in the sky. As a result, his move almost caused the Russian warship to shoot an anti-aircraft missile with a range of 150 kilometers, and their anti-aircraft warning radar judged that this was a cruise missile entering the dive attack stage!

At this time, the US aircraft carrier battle group realized that there had been a misunderstanding, and hurriedly informed the Russian fleet on the opposite side of the situation, and took the initiative to cancel the combat readiness. Only then did the Russian fleet relax its tense nerves and continue to illuminate Li Zhan with radar, finally confirming that it was indeed a French fighter training and not a cruise missile.

The Rafale M carrier-based fighter piloted by Li Zhan did not carry a pod, so he did not know that he was being irradiated by the anti-aircraft warning radar from the warship on the sea. The combat pods for the Rafale series fighters are very advanced, and they are designed to carry all kinds of combat pods, so it can be considered that it is a combat module that can be replaced at any time by the fighter itself.

For example, when carrying an electronic jamming pod, it can carry out electronic combat missions, carry a reconnaissance pod to carry out reconnaissance tasks, and carry a laser indication pod to carry out guided attacks and precise ground attack missions.

He did not enter the locking distance of the fire control radar of the Russian warship, so the radar alarm did not alarm either. So he had no idea that he had moved too quickly, and the two fleets below almost fought. As we all know, the central part of the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea is very sensitive, and the central coastline of the southern coast belongs to Libya, where last year a war broke out, and Rafale fighters also participated.

The French are not bragging when they say that the Rafale fighter has been tested in real combat, and this fighter has carried out combat missions in Afghanistan and Libya, mostly on ground attack missions. Because of the relationship between the opponents, it can only be said that it has barely passed the actual combat test.

After Li Zhan turned around, the speed of the fighter plane had quickly dropped to subsonic speed, and then the speed rose rapidly again during the dive, and soon exceeded the speed of sound, and when he was a thousand meters above sea level, he slowed down and pulled up the fighter, and the fuselage of the fighter made a squeaky sound under the large overload. Under the effect of inertia, the fighter still descended to an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level in a sinking manner.

Li Zhan pressed the pole a little more, and the fighter plane directly stuck to the sea level and resumed level flight.

The radar of the Toulon naval base could no longer detect the fighters, and Monet in the command tower urgently shouted: "Shepherd! You are here! Report your location! ”

"I'm flying at an ultra-low altitude, well, towards the base, at a distance of 180 km." Li Zhan sent the latest coordinates back through the data link. They use the GPS military network, which basically realizes the positioning without dead ends.

Monet quickly determined Li Zhan's position. The positioning device on the fighter can only receive the direction after the signal is sent, so the fighter needs to send signals continuously, and the satellite receives the signal and then sends it to the ground receiving terminal.

Everyone who thought that there was an accident was secretly relieved, and the base commander said to Mo Ren'an with a smile, "You pilots are very good, and your skills are very good. ”

On the contrary, Mo Ren'an felt a little embarrassed, and said with a little embarrassment, "Some of his actions are indeed too big and full of danger, or call him back." ”

"No, no, I said that there is thirty minutes of experience time, and we are talking and counting." The base commander resisted the urge to give the order to return to the home, and said in a pretentious manner.

In this way, Li Zhan was able to continue flying.

After seeing the coastline, he adjusted the sea-skimming altitude to 20 meters, basically after the fuselage was tilted 90 degrees, the wingtips almost touched the water. After flying at ultra-low altitude and supersonic speed for a few seconds, he quickly slowed down, maintained the flight altitude, and slowly adjusted the throttle stick. The throttle lever with a very small stroke is not easy to manipulate as you like, and Li Zhan only began to feel it at this time, so he put the ultra-low-altitude minimum speed flight to the present.

Monet's introduction mentioned that the attitude of the Rafale M carrier-based fighter can be very stable during the landing and approach phase, and the approach speed is smaller, which is simply too important for the carrier-based fighter. Whether it is or not, Li Zhan has to verify it at this time.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and many French people were already waiting to finish their day's work and go for afternoon tea. Most European countries, including the French, are keen to travel, as evidenced by the abundance of tourists on the beaches on the northern shores of the Mediterranean.

The sandy beaches of the Marseille region, in particular, are never short of tourists all year round. At this time in June, the weather in Marseille is very comfortable, the highest temperature is only 256 degrees, the lowest temperature is 167 degrees, very suitable for outdoor activities, and the middle of the year is the season for Europeans to travel in batches, as a very famous city in France, Marseille ushered in a lot of tourists.

Marseille is only a few dozen kilometers away from the Toulon military port, which is a blink of an eye for fighters. Fighters at the Toulon Military Port Aviation Training Base often go up to Marseille for training, and when large military planes come over, they even have to hover over Marseille and wait.

At this time, Li Zhan's nose pointed to Marseille, and he had to adjust the course over Marseille to align with the runway before landing. But before that, he had to do a few big overload maneuvers, so he chose the airspace in the airspace between the Marseille coastline and the base, and after completing the set big overload maneuver, he had just enough distance to adjust the course and return to the base, which was just enough to consume thirty minutes.

Li Zhan had no idea that there were a large number of tourists on the beach in front of him.

As a result, when Li Zhan piloted the Rafale M carrier-based fighter to approach the coastline at an altitude of 20 meters above sea level, it immediately attracted the attention of tourists basking in the sun on the beach, playing beach volleyball, surfing, playing motorboats, and playing parachutes at sea.

Those Europeans and Americans in swimsuits frantically screamed excitedly at the fighter planes that were getting closer and closer, almost flying close to the sea, and some even held their clothes in their hands as flags and waved them wildly.

Only the tourist who was flying in the air with a parachute and being dragged by a speedboat watched the fighter plane rushing towards him and was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants.

Li Zhan found that there was an obstacle in the air in front of him, and the distance was already very close, he decisively increased the thrust to make an emergency turn, and the fighter slid and turned in a big sideways turn in the sound of the engine roaring, which was embarrassing to avoid the parachute, but the powerful wake blew the parachute backwards, which actually made the tourists above feel a different kind of excitement!

A cold sweat came out, Li Zhan hurriedly turned his head to observe, only to find that the beach was densely packed with tourists, and he could even see many tourists holding SLR cameras to shoot him. Li Zhan tore off the oxygen mask, pushed open the goggles of the flight helmet, smiled at the tourists on the beach, and compared scissor hands!

An AFP reporter who was exclusively with his family snapped a picture of the rear 60 degrees: the fighter plane's tail spout and camera were at about 60 degrees, and the cockpit display could even be seen because of the height, and the pilot looked back and smiled more than a friendly scissor hand.

"Hey, not a French pilot?" The AFP reporter was amazed and realized that he had caught a very good topic!

Li Zhan did not stay, he flew along the coastline in the direction of Toulon Military Port, he regained his mood and slowly reduced his speed, until it was 195 kilometers per hour, and then found that the fighter plane was still very stable! This indicator is terrifying! Li Zhan can almost conclude that the envelope is 100 knots, which is about 187 kilometers per hour!

"Monet, what is the minimum speed limit for the Rafale fighter? A hundred knots? Li Zhan asked as he called the command tower.

Monet and the base commander looked at each other, and the former said helplessly, "Yes, that's right. ”

That is, the minimum speed envelope of the Rafale fighter is less than a hundred knots......

Li Zhan suddenly felt that as a carrier-based fighter, this aircraft was really not bad!

PS：12000/30000。 New monthly pass additions: As of this time, the total number of monthly passes is 2,410, and the monthly pass has been added to 2 chapters. Everyone is quite powerful, basically 200 monthly passes per day, so the rifle may have to open afterburner at the end of the month.
