Chapter 563 The ultra-low sea-skimming altitude minimum speed flight is more than a scissors hand
The reason for the incident is ridiculous.
A US aircraft carrier battle group and a Russian special-mix fleet are performing their respective tasks in the Tunisian Strait. Both sides encountered some minor misunderstandings, and then they naturally entered a confrontation state, which is common for them.
It's right.
The long-range air defense warning radar of a Russian destroyer has been working. Suddenly, it was discovered that a high-speed target appeared in the sky behind the Americans, and the speed was getting faster and faster. The most important thing was to fly towards this side. It might be that long-range air defense.
The warning radar has been in disrepair, and it may be that the radar officer made a misjudgment and actually regarded the Rafale M carrier-based fighter jet driven by Li Zhan as a cruise missile launched from the European continent!
It was very lively now. The Russian fleet entered the state of combat without hesitation. The American man on the opposite side saw it, huh, he used to be tacitly whispering, what do you want to do today? Until he saw the opponent launching an anti-ship missile
The cap of the launch tube was opened, and the American grandma became nervous - you are so fucking!
Then the US aircraft carrier battle group also sounded the air defense alarm...
The American grandma suddenly released two Super Hornet carrier-based fighters and began to cruise over the fleet. Then, two two-seater attack super Hornets took off with anti-ship missiles, with their purpose very clear.
It feels very strange that I can meet Russian warships almost every day in the Mediterranean waters. On the surface, the atmosphere is tense, in fact, everyone knows it. They can see each other's fire control radars, but no one thinks it is true.
Although the navy is very vulgar, they will really be able to do something if they are angry!
The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the arrogant ones, and the arrogant ones are afraid of the desperate ones.
After the Soviet Union disappeared, Russia successfully evolved to the level of "lifelessness". Anyone who meets it has to think about it. The Americans fight Afghanistan against Iraq and many other countries, but who has seen him fight against nuclear-armed countries.
Just fight, let alone the five great common people, even if you are against Iran, they will think twice before acting.
Li Zhan rushed to the depths of the western Mediterranean at a speed of 2,400 kilometers per hour and then discovered the fleet in the east. Of course, the first thing he discovered was the super hornets above the fleet. After the radar searched for the target, the enemy-to-we-recognition system quickly gave instructions:
Four f/a-18e/f combat attack aircraft.
After thinking about it, Li Zhan turned off the afterburner and turned left, and at the same time he made a side-sliding dive maneuver, and began to draw a beautiful arc in the sky. As a result, his move almost made the Russian warship shoot a range of 150 kilometers.
For air-to-air missiles, their air-to-air alert radar determines that this is the cruise missile entering the dive attack stage!
At this time, the US aircraft carrier battle group realized that it had a misunderstanding, so they quickly informed the situation to the Russian fleet opposite and voluntarily canceled the combat readiness state. The Russian fleet then relaxed its tense nerve line and continued to illuminate Li with radar.
After all, it was confirmed that it was indeed a French fighter jet training rather than a cruise missile.
The Rafale M carrier-based fighter jet driven by Li Zhan did not carry a pod, so he did not know that he was exposed to air alert radar from the surface warships. The combat pods that matched the Rafale series fighter jets were very advanced and were designed.
Carrying various combat pods has been considered, 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 interference pod, you can perform electronic combat tasks, carry a reconnaissance pod, and carry a laser indicator pod, you can perform guided attacks and precise attacks on the ground.
He did not enter the locking distance of the Russian warship fire control radar, so the radar alarm did not call the alarm. So he had no idea that his excessively rapid action almost caused the two fleets below to fight. As we all know, the central waters in the southern coast of the Mediterranean were very good.
Sensitively, the country on the central coast of the South Coast belongs to Libya, where war broke out last year and Rafale fighter jets also participated.
The French said that the Rafale fighter was not bragging after actual combat tests. This fighter has performed combat missions in Afghanistan and Libya, and most of them are ground attack missions. Because of the opponent's relationship, it can only be said that it has barely been tested in actual combat.
After Li Zhan turned around, the speed of the fighter jet had quickly dropped to subsonic speed. Then, the speed rose rapidly during the dive, and soon exceeded the speed of sound. When he was one thousand meters away from sea level, he slowed down and pulled the fighter jet.
Under the overload, the fuselage of the fighter made a squeaking sound. Under the action of inertia, the fighter still fell to an altitude of about 500 meters from the sea level.
Li Zhan pressed the pole a little longer, and the fighter directly attached to the sea level and restored the level flight.
The radar of the Toulon Naval Base could no longer detect the fighter planes, and Monet, command tower, called out: "Shepherd! Your location! Report your location!"
"I'm flying at an ultra-low altitude, well, flying towards the base, with a distance of 180 kilometers." Li Zhan sent the latest coordinates back through the data link. They used GPS military network, which basically achieved no blind spots.
Monet quickly determined Li Zhan's orientation. The positioning device on the fighter jet sent a signal before the base could receive the orientation, so the fighter jet needed to continuously send signals, and the satellite received the signal and then sent it to the ground receiving terminal.
Everyone who thought something unexpected happened secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the base commander forced a smile and said to Mo Ren'an, "You pilots are very good and have excellent skills."
On the contrary, Mo Ren'an felt a little embarrassed and said a little embarrassedly, "Some of his actions are indeed too big and full of dangers. Why don't you call him back?"
"No, no, I have to say that there is thirty minutes of experience, and we keep our word." The base commander resisted the urge to issue a return order and said in a praising manner.
Just like that, Li Zhan was able to continue flying.
After seeing the coastline, he adjusted the sea-sweeping height to 20 meters. Basically, the fuselage was tilted by 90 degrees and the wing tip was almost the same as the water surface. After flying at ultra-low altitude supersonic for a few seconds, he quickly slowed down and maintained the flight altitude.
Slowly adjusting the throttle lever. The throttle lever with very small travel is not easy to operate as he pleases. Li Zhan only started to feel the touch at this time, so he put the ultra-low minimum speed flight to perform now.
In Monet's introduction, it mentioned that the Rafale M carrier-based fighter can have a very stable attitude during the landing approach stage, and the approach speed is smaller, which is simply too important for carrier-based fighter jets. Is it true?
Now we need to verify it.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and many French people were waiting to finish their day's work and then have afternoon tea. Most European countries, including the French, are keen on tourism, and tourists on the beaches on the north coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
Rujie is a clear proof.
Especially the beaches in Marseille, there is no shortage of tourists all year round. At this time, in June, the weather in Marseille is very comfortable, with the highest temperature being only 25 or 6 degrees Celsius and the lowest temperature being 16 or 7 degrees Celsius, which is very suitable for outdoor activities.
Moreover, the middle of the year is the season for Europeans to travel in batches. As a very famous city in France, Marseille welcomes a lot of tourists.
Marseille is only a few dozen kilometers away from Toulon Military Port, which is a blink of an eye for fighter jets. The fighter jets at the Toulon Military Port Aviation Training Base often train on Marseille, and when large military planes come, they even have to hover over Marseille waiting.
At this time, Li Zhan's nose pointed at Marseille. He had to adjust the course above Marseille and aimed at the runway before landing. But before that, he had to do several large overload maneuvers, so he chose the airspace from the Marseille coastline to the base
In the airspace between, there is enough distance to adjust the heading and return to the base after completing the established large overload maneuver, which can just take thirty minutes.
Li Zhan had no idea that there were a large number of tourists on the beach ahead of him.
So, when Li Zhan drove a gust m carrier-based fighter plane closer and slower at an altitude of 20 meters from sea level, he immediately attracted the sun on the beach, play beach volleyball, surfing, play motorboats, and play
The attention of tourists on the sea parachutes.
The European and Americans in swimsuits rushed towards the fighter planes flying close and almost close to the sea, screaming excitedly, and some even held their clothes in their hands as flags, swaying wildly.
Only the tourists who were hanging parachutes and flying in the air were dragged by a speedboat and watched the fighter planes rushing towards him so scared that they were about to pee their pants.
When Li Zhan found that there was an obstacle in the air ahead, he was already very close. He decisively increased his thrust and made an emergency turn. The fighter slipped sideways in the roaring sound of the engine, barely avoiding the parachute, but the powerful tail flow
The parachute was blown back and the tourists above actually felt a different stimulation!
After a cold sweat came out. Li Zhan quickly turned his head to observe, and then he found that the beach was filled with tourists. He could even see many tourists holding SLR cameras to shoot him. Li Zhan pulled off his oxygen mask and pushed away his flying helmet
The goggles were smiling at the tourists on the beach and compared them with scissors!
An AFP reporter from my family was taking a quick look at the back 60 degrees with a photo: the rear nozzle and the camera were about 60 degrees, and the cockpit display could even be seen due to height issues.
, while the pilot turned around and smiled and compared to a friendly scissors hand.
"Hey, isn't a French pilot?" AFP reporter was very surprised and realized that he had caught a very good topic!
Li Zhan did not stay and flew along the coastline towards the Toulon Military Port. He regained his mood and slowly reduced his speed until 195 kilometers per hour. Then he found that the fighter plane was still very stable! This indicator was too terrifying! Li Zhan
It can almost be concluded that the envelope is 100 knots, which is about 187 kilometers per hour!
"Monet, what is the minimum speed limit for Rafale fighter jets? Is it a hundred knots?" Li Zhan asked when he called the command tower.
Monet and the base commander glanced at each other, and the former said helplessly, "Yes, that's right."
In other words, the minimum speed envelope of the Rafale fighter is less than one hundred knots...
Li Zhan suddenly felt that as a carrier-based fighter, this aircraft is really good!
ps:12000/30000. New monthly tickets and additional updates: As of this time, the total number of monthly tickets is 2,410, and monthly tickets and additional updates are 2 chapters.
