Chapter 36 The Winds of Toulouse
The welcome banquet at the Elysee Palace is still in progress, but under the same blue sky, Toulouse in southern France is a different scene.
Facing the still brilliant sunset, the gate of the wide reinforced concrete hangar slowly opened. The 10th Fighter Squadron of the French Air Force, which was performing all-weather cruise interception training mission, two sharp and smooth gray-white fighter jets slid out of the hangar under the traction of the electric vehicle and bathed in the bright red sunlight. 2s
Like the fighter jets equipped by the French Air Force before, these two fighter jets, like the other two partners hidden in the hangar, are the latest R&D results from Dassault, the strongest sword in the French sky:
rafale, "Ravel" fighter.
He sorted out some wrinkled flight suits, put on soft aviation gloves, and had a thin figure. Major Pierre Renault walked towards his new fighter jet that had just taken over for a few days. While walking, he looked at the long gray-green camouflage fighter jets on the far apron with his partners. After the automatic armistice agreement was signed, he shared a large aviation base with the Soviet 313 frontline fighter jet regiment that entered the base. They got along well with these serious but generous Russians, although after many live-fire combat drills, they still did not convince anyone in private.
In the previous two simulated confrontations, the Phantom 2000-5 fighter was used as an imaginary enemy to play e
The F-18 "Hornets" and others lost several times in the confrontation. However, Major Renault always believed that the low-speed maneuverability of the MiG aircraft was the advantage of the Russians, and it was not embarrassing to fly the Mirage fighter even if he lost. However, "the soldiers should look at each other for three days." Now the 10th Squadron has replaced the newly designed Rafale fighter. Although it only sent four single-seat "Rafale" c, the assembly plant of St. Clue now has the capacity for mass production of new fighters, and soon his main fighter squadron will be fully equipped.
"Francis, what do you think of this new fighter jet?"
"I didn't say anything. Just my observation is definitely better than the Russian MiG, maybe it's just as good as the 'typhoon'. - Well, this is what I feel like in the past two days of flight."
"Hmm, and she's also very charming."
Holding his flight helmet, he approached the fighter plane and saw the ground crew busy preparing for routine before the flight. Pierre glanced at several R550 "magic" missiles on the missile car. This somewhat outdated air combat weapon can no longer satisfy him now.
It seems that today's training content is direct fighting training without over-visual range combat?
Since it was designed to carry more advanced air-to-air missiles, and the continuous wave irradiator required for the R530 semi-active radar-guided missile was not installed, the advanced "Ravel" fighter is now facing no over-the-sight range missile available. French air knights can only wait patiently for the mystery (回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回回�

But no matter what, even if only the R550 is available, they are no longer technically inferior to their Russian colleagues who have just begun to fight together. Thanks to the advanced and exquisitely crafted m88 series engines and the latest achievements of the Rbe-2 passive phased array radar, the Rafale fighter with supersonic cruise and multi-target combat capabilities is not only the pride of the French Air Force, but will also be equipped with the French Navy in the near future and arranged on a newly built nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
Oh, now that the battle is like this, the matter of the aircraft carrier is probably a bit difficult to deal with...
With such imagination, Pierre still easily climbed the boarding ladder and asked the ground crew to help start the two m88-2 engines, and there was a somewhat out-of-tune melody in his mouth.
Yes, he does have reason to feel relaxed now.
As the war on the European continent ended in lightning, the proud French had to compromise to the East; however, to the surprise of many French people, the heavy claws of polar bears did not press on their shoulders. After experiencing the initial chaos, the Russians have now basically withdrawn from the ground troops in France, leaving only a considerable number of aviation forces to assist them in defending the long borders of the north and south wings of the country.
Thanks to the signing of the armistice agreement, in southern France, where he had not experienced war, Pierre Renault himself did not have any special disgust towards the Russians. To be honest, he was more disgusted with those who took the initiative to provoke the war, or the Americans who used to point fingers at them within NATO and were resentful for the failure to station troops in France.
That's what Americans are like, what about the new Russians?
The terrible opponent who was always on guard has now become a comrade-in-arms in hand. This kind of thing has long been accustomed to experienced politicians, and there is not much pressure for conscientious soldiers like Pierre. Thinking of the current war, the one he wants to take off the air is the bullfighter who is showing off his might in the southern sky: in the past month, he has driven the ef2000 "typhoon" and e
The Spanish Air Force, which cooperated with the Americans to fight, has invaded French airspace many times, and the confrontation between the two sides has become increasingly fierce.
Although the 10th Fighter Squadron, or any French fighter, has not fired fire on its former allies until now, judging by the arrogant look of the NATO Air Force, it will be a matter of time before the two sides fight.
——I can’t watch the Russian MiG aircraft frequently fight to defend the French sky, but these aerial knights with Gaul blood squat on the ground as turtles!
Let’s not talk about the honor of soldiers for the time being. France, who has always advocated dulizi temptation and dignity cannot be slighted, will this face be put?
What's more, facing the powerful ef2000, like many people in the squadron, Pierre was also very excited about this model with similar appearance and equally powerful performance. Because of different combat needs, France, which withdrew from the EFA plan to start a new job, had its current rafale; the dialogue between "gusts" and "typhoons" has always been a key issue that the French Air Force is thinking about.
Although Pierre, as a fighter pilot with excellent skills, he knew very well that the design requirements of "Rawn" were not exactly the same as those of "Typhoons". The air combat performance of "Rawn" that focuses on multifunctional design is still slightly inferior to that of "Typhoons", but this cannot curb his competitive spirit.
Flying the fighter plane, the young French Air Force pilots all had the same idea at this moment: in the face of the stormy European situation, they must grasp the sword of "gusts" as soon as possible, and fight bravely in the war with uncertain futures to support a peaceful sky for France!
There may not be much time left for them.
