The take-off, which was far faster than a skid jump, gave the pilot a boost of confidence, accelerating the fighter to a speed of 120 knots in two seconds, and the pilot was subjected to an overload of 5 G.

Coupled with the excellent instantaneous acceleration performance of the Rafale M carrier-based fighter, the ground crew of the Dai ship was not at all worried that the fully loaded fighter would not be able to fly.

At the moment after going out, Li Zhan pulled the rod and kicked the rudder, causing the nose of the plane to rise and the horizontal tail to rise at a large angle, and the fighter plane suddenly began to climb at an elevation angle of 60 degrees, causing a burst of cheers from the ground crew on the flight deck. The light blue tail flames emitted from the nozzles of the two M88 aero engines indicate that the engines are working in military thrust at this time.

Li Zhan glanced back at the Dai ship, and after confirming the course of the mothership again, he immediately raised his head to look for the long plane. Because it was a night flight, the goggles were stowed away and replaced by binoculars with low-light night vision devices mounted on helmet mounts. The picture presented in front of Li Zhan's eyes was slightly shiny and there was a scene similar to a frosted mobile phone film, and the navigation lights of the long plane were very eye-catching. He quickly leaned over and formed with Monet.

In formation flight, especially at night, the duration of the long plane's flashing anti-collision light is longer than that of the wingman, if the frequency of the long aircraft's flashing anti-collision light is "——", then the wingman's will be "-", and the night can be distinguished for the first time.

There are many kinds of lights on airplanes, especially military aircraft, and the rules for the use of lights in military aircraft in various countries are different, but they are generally the same, such as the flashing anti-collision lights are usually red and are installed on the wingtips of the vertical tail. The red navigation light installed on the left wing tip and the green navigation light on the right wing tip are the general rules of the world, whether it is a military aircraft or a civilian aircraft, referred to as left red and green.

In night flight, the wingman looks for the long plane according to the flashing anti-collision light, and the long plane shall prevail when flying in formation, and all formation actions shall be based on the long plane.

Li Zhan flew a fuselage slightly behind Monet's right wing, maintaining an altitude difference of about ten meters with Monet, and a lateral distance of thirty meters, so that each other could see each other's movements at such a distance, and the multi-functional flight gloves could glow in the dark, and the pilots of the long plane could still use gestures to direct the formation to fly.

Without Monet's reminder, Li Zhan appeared in the best wingman position, and followed the flight movements in a very timely and accurate manner, which made Monet feel very comfortable. It's like the cooperation between the point guard and the power forward on the basketball court has reached the point of perfection, and each other's eyes and actions can quickly complete a tactical coordination communication, pushing each other's actions in the same direction, and it is very comfortable to play.

The first content is not difficult, air defense alert patrol is the most commonly used early warning defense means for aircraft carrier battle groups. In fact, the most important thing to eject is the E-2C "Hawkeye" carrier-based early warning aircraft, and then the Rafale M carrier-based fighter that is responsible for air defense alert patrols. But it's not known why they didn't.

After more than ten minutes of detouring, the first item was completed.

"Well, good luck, and then it's interesting, we're going to find the Roosevelt and surprise the Americans." Monet said with a smile.

Li Zhan asked, "Move in formation according to the plan or separate?" ”

"Let's go separately and see who finds the Roosevelt first and bets on a bottle of Bol Dry, how about it?" Monet was a good drinker, especially red wine.

Li Zhan readily agreed, "No problem." ”

"Let's get started." Monet made a gesture to dissolve the formation, and Li Zhan pulled it up sideways and quickly grabbed more heights, without dragging his feet in the slightest.

Even if Monet doesn't mention it, Li Zhan will find a way to act alone, and only by striving to act alone can he play at a high level, and there are many constraints on following the action of the long plane, and it is difficult for him to continue to explore the actual combat use of the Rafale M carrier-based fighter. Li Zhan had already seen that Monet had the intention of competing with him. Although Monet did not hold many senior positions in the carrier-based aircraft unit of the French Navy, he had a very special position, he was the chief instructor, and even the commander of the aircraft carrier combat formation had to give him face.

Therefore, after Monet made such a decision, Dai Jian's intelligence command center could only follow his decision. This is a typical situation in which the air in turn commands the ground, which is very rare. Li Zhan still needs to unconditionally obey the orders of the ground commander, which shows that commanding the ground in turn is not something ordinary people can do.

After Li Zhan raised the altitude to eight thousand meters, his eyes lit up. After pushing the low-light night vision device up, he looked down and saw the surface of the earth in an arc, which was black, and the black-and-white dividing line was also arc-shaped. A few years ago, people tried to prove that the earth was round, but in fact, the easiest way was to fly high in the sky, which did not need to be very high, about 10,000 meters. Some people say that fighter pilots fly in a pot lid, and they are talking about the environment as far as the eye can see when flying at high altitudes - not flat but arc-shaped.

The difficulty of night flights is that pilots can easily have optical illusions, taking the surface of the sea on the ground as the sky and the sky as the surface of the sea, and then disaster comes. Therefore, the difficulty of flying at ultra-low altitude at night can be imagined, especially at night at ultra-low altitude sea-skimming flight, and there are not many pilots in the world's air force powers who can do it beautifully casually.

Li Zhan saw lights on the left and right sides, which were lights from towns on the land. He checked the tactical level show and found that he had crossed the Tunis Strait into the eastern waters of the Mediterranean. The eastern sea area is larger than the western sea, with more than 1,000 kilometers at its widest point and nearly 3,000 kilometers long from east to west.

The Mediterranean Sea is not a small inland sea, but a gap between the European and African continents.

The Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group of the Sixth Fleet, which simulated the target, had already run into the depths, and if Li Zhan knew that his unintentional actions almost caused the Sixth Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet to fire up when he flew solo before, then he at least knew the approximate location of the Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group.

It's a pity that he doesn't know, so now he can only search in the vast sea and sky.

Because a lot of ammunition is loaded, Rao is attached to three auxiliary fuel tanks, and the combat radius of the Rafale M carrier-based fighter can only barely reach 1,300 kilometers, and the amount of ship fuel must be reserved, and there is a third subject, so Li Zhan can only operate within a range of 800 kilometers.

Of course, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group must be within this range, but the sea area with a radius of 800 kilometers is already unimaginably large.

Soon, Li Zhan could no longer see Monet by sight, and it was obvious that Monet had chosen another way to search - low-altitude visual search. In other words, Monet had a good idea of the approximate location of the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier battle group. This is much more reliable than using airborne radar to search the sea.

There are many busy shipping lanes in the Mediterranean, and a large number of ocean-going ships are sailing day and night, especially those oil tankers that are often more than 10 or 200,000 tons.

Don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, although it is not explicitly stated, but everyone knows it in their hearts - this is a confrontation competition between Chinese and French Hainan Airlines pilots.
