Chapter 481 - The Thunder Is Loud and the Raindrops Are Light

"Oh! Okay, I've transformed into a Gallic rooster again!"

As the main local media at the Paris-Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition, French TV Channel 4 host Gilles Lebre once again appeared in front of the camera and attracted the attention of the audience with a humorous joke as the opening remarks.

Maybe he has realized that this exhibition is so exciting that people are constantly shocked to the point where they can only make a monotonous sound. As a Frenchman, it is not too shameful to transform into a Gallic rooster. At least he still has some self-awareness.

Then the host Gilles Lebre's face turned slightly gloomy, and he said with some sadness: "Before I officially host the program, everyone would like to express their condolences to the pilot of the Japanese 'Blue Shockwave' aerobatic team who unfortunately died in an accident yesterday. Mr. Saichiro Ma observed half a minute of silence."

The French naturally insisted that yesterday's "Aster-30" medium-range surface-to-air missile hit the Japanese-controlled F-22 "Raptor" as an accident. They certainly did not intentionally target the F-22, and they had no intention of confronting the United States. It was just an accident when the Chinese flew into the penalty area and triggered the counterattack rule.

As for the F-22 "Raptor" that was accidentally dragged by a Chinese fighter jet, Saichiro Noma's evasion skills were not up to par. Didn't everyone see the Chinese easily volleying and detonating the last "Raptor"? Aster-30"? If you don't have the ability, why would you still challenge others?

Anyway, the French refused to admit their debt and would eventually pay a pension to Saichiro Noma's family. As for the loss of the F-22, they had no choice but to do nothing. They couldn't afford it.

However, it is a blessing in disguise. At least the "Aster-30" missile of France Aerospace can be foreseen and will definitely be a big seller. Under the spotlight, the best proof is that it can succeed in the f-22 "Raptor".

Americans will also be a little petty, and may wonder if the French are doing this on purpose.

"The silence is over. Mr. Saichiro Noma's wonderful confrontation flight yesterday brought us supreme visual enjoyment. This accident also warned us that war is cruel, life will be in danger at any time, and no bones will be left. For The pain that family members will never forget, everyone should cherish peace and not easily provoke disputes!"

Anyway, I don’t know if the time of silence has been shortened. At least French TV will not waste such precious live broadcast time. Even if it puts two more advertisements, it will be good.

The French, who lead modern fashion, believe more in the euro than in romance.

There was a faint roar of thunder outside the camera screen, which was the sound of fighter jets. The host inserted his own voice at the right time, "Gentlemen and girls, let us introduce to you again, Grigory from the Russian Sukhoi Company. 'Flying squadron, yes, just two days ago, the Su-27 squadron brought you amazing landing stunts, well, precise scalpel, I love you to death, I believe everyone in 'Gregory' Pilots are all the best surgeons, haha, Mr. Depolgnac, what kind of visual enjoyment do you think 'Gregory' will bring us today."

"Oh, I'm also looking forward to it. Just the day before yesterday, the shock that the 'Gregori' squadron gave us is still fresh in my memory. It's simply impossible flying skills. It's hard to imagine that the Su-27 can do it. Wouldn't such a maneuver disintegrate? Or are these Su-27s specially made? It's hard to imagine that the quality of Russian products has reached an almost miraculous level. I'm afraid except for the high-strength stainless steel of the MiG-25 Only the structure can withstand such intense back-and-forth high and excessive loads, and the pilots who make such maneuvers are also tough.”

Madin de Polignac has not been laid off. At least in yesterday's commentary, his performance was recognized by French TV 4. Although he made occasional mistakes, it was not harmful.

It is still difficult to find an aviation expert who looks good, has good knowledge, and is also eloquent. After all, France only has a small population. Seconded from foreign countries, it feels like the sunset of an old aviation country.

"What's flying over is a devil formation, a dense formation of six aircraft. Huh? Why are there only six of them? Didn't we see seven of them the day before yesterday?"

The host Gilles Lebre pointed to the sky with some surprise. He has done these programs before, and he has some basic knowledge. Six aircraft are in a close formation, the distance between the left and right is only five meters, the height difference is even less than two meters, and the jets of the aircraft in front are The hole may even affect the air intake of the aircraft behind it. If there is no excellent teamwork experience, accidents are very likely to occur.

Once in Zambia, Lin Mo used the tail vortex tactic, which was quite lethal.

All in all, not every aerobatic team participating in the International Aerospace Exhibition can master the devil formation.

Regarding the host’s doubts, professional guest Madan de Polignac gave a comparative explanation: “Oh, there is another one in the exhibition area, but I am very much looking forward to it. Today we have brought five of the most advanced The camera captures it from many different angles, and I hope it can be made into a CD, which will definitely sell well."

The camera turned and jumped to the telephoto exhibition area in the Sukhoi exhibition area. Sure enough, there was a Su-27 numbered 07 parked there, which was the fighter jet that made the magical maneuver that day.

As a special guest, he really has two brushes. His eloquent five or six minutes of explanation made the audience in front of the TV mesmerized. He explained extremely professional and difficult terms in an easy-to-understand manner. Although he occasionally made mistakes, he was still a very professional guest.

"Look, it's a horizontal figure 8. They are separated. There are about two groups. What are they going to do? Wow! The ultra-low-altitude hedging of three aircraft is very difficult, even as much as the devil formation. If you are not careful, you will face each other head-on. The consequences of the collision were even worse than yesterday's F-22 Raptor."

In addition to his professional comments, Martin de Polignac had no idea which pot he would not open and which pot he would not pick up, which caused many Japanese to gnash their teeth at him.

The three Su-27s flying opposite each other from two directions above the runway adjusted their angles, and the distance between the two sides narrowed sharply. Then, with a loud bang, the dangerous bellies of the planes passed each other across each other. The minimum distance between the two planes was not even more than Two meters.

"Oh! Wonderful! Great." The host was also so excited that he couldn't help himself.

The more difficult the aerobatics, the more difficult they are to catch people's attention. For TV stations, this means ratings, and ratings mean advertising revenue.

"Yes, it's so exciting. Let's watch the finale of the 'Gregory' Squadron!"

Guest Madan Depolnyak suddenly shut up, but they saw Sukhoi's "Gregori" flying squadron completed two groups of three-plane hedging flights, circled for a while, divided into three groups, and The two-plane formation landed.

When the "Gregori" flying team took off, many people's eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the eight pillars that were still standing there a few days ago during the model aircraft enthusiasts' performance, waiting for the Russians to perform another wonderful performance. Magical flight around the pillar.

what on earth is it?

Are Russian pilots on strike due to wage theft?

If the low-altitude hedging performance of fighter jets was performed in the past, it would have been a very thrilling flight performance. However, the amazing performance of ultra-low-altitude and ultra-short-distance swinging around the column the day before yesterday whetted the appetite of the audience. According to the rules, good things are always placed first. As a last resort, they believed that the "Gregory" squadron should have performed better today.

But in the midst of their long-awaited anticipation, they returned. What does this mean?

When they were about to climax, they were just missing the final kick, suddenly pulling out their asses and leaving. This huge feeling of falling from a high altitude was unbearable for everyone.

There was an uproar in the audience, but in comparison, the exhibition area of ​​Sukhoi Company was all earthy. This situation had been expected for a long time, but now it was tragic. If it hadn't been for "No. 7", today's performance would have been considered a disaster. Extraordinarily wonderful.

But this is a mute eating yellow lotus. It is really hard to tell. To tell the truth, it was done by the Chinese. So what do Americans think? What do Europeans think? Are the Chinese so good as the Russians that they wear the same clothes? A pair of crotch? Even the current international environment will be affected.

"Ah! What's going on?" The host Gilles Lebre looked very surprised. He and the guest Madan Depolnyak could be said to have spent a lot of money on Sukhoi during the explanation process. , I thought it was the icing on the cake, but I didn’t expect that it would be comfortable to have a hot face stuck to a cold butt, and a French TV station suspended in mid-air.

Bitter!

"Maybe something went wrong with their plane, or with that magical pilot." Madan Depolnyak reacted very quickly when he saw the opportunity, and quickly covered up for Sukhoi.

But the huge disappointment was followed by boundless anger.

There was a lot of curses in the audience.

"What the hell is this? If I had known I didn't have to spend any money, I would have just watched the transition show ahead."

"I'm so angry. This is a joke. What kind of crappy show is this? Refund the ticket! Refund the ticket!"

"I want to see the swing around the pole, I want to see the most exciting thing."

"It's like thunder and rain. What's going on with Sukhoi? Has he regressed? Or is the pilot dead? That's all. It's simply too much."

"It really lived up to our expectations."

There were loud boos in the audience, and the gesture of raising fists, thumbs down, and arms like forests was quite spectacular.

The staff at the Sukhoi exhibition area were even more expressionless. They couldn't help but look at the defense star exhibition area. That guy killed people. Now Sukhoi's reputation will spread far and wide.
