French military jets cut off village's power supply by flying low

Alpes-de-Haute-Provence: Air Force Rafales pass at least 80 meters above the ground, depriving an entire village of electricity

Two Rafale from the French Air and Space Army, which took part in a very low altitude training flight, this Wednesday afternoon, cut three medium voltage lines in the village of Castellet, north of Manosque (Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).

And no spaghetti of pilot?

Havnt you ever played a videogame and you try to hover or fly a jet through something ridiculously small. Now imagine being in the military and wanting to do it with an expensive plane for fun. It might even be a right of passage or part of their training to fly underneath those wires

obviously just a coincidence.

watch as more power related accidents occur

I am surprised they did not get electrocuted. 80 meters is really low fly.

Rafale is a heavy fighter jet. Quite successful actually, made by Dassault Aviation and a good seller.

after giving it more thought, i claim this is BS

no way would a jetplane cut through THREE cables and then land safely.

three cables would rip the plane to bits

Too bad they didn't carsh.

Maybe "Diversity" flying the Rafale in this case?

They are plenty abundant in France as we know. They get free passes everywhere.

This is far better than words.

Brutal is an appropriate name for this machine.

I wonder how much fuel he went through during that display?...full afterburners throughout.

what were they running away from?

I always wondered how much one such sortie will cost the French Air Force.

I have seen them in Air shows lots of times. They are fantastic for photography training. Taking big cameras with big telephoto lenses.

French military is a joke.

Always spending the people's tax money in Africa.


French fighters fly over Central African Republic in response to rebel attacks

The Elysium office has indicated that these flights are at the request of Touadera and with the approval of MINUSCA

The rebels of the Coalition of Patriots for Change are continuing their attacks on various towns in the Central African Republic in an attempt to destabilise the situation of the current government, and are awaiting confirmation of the results they will be giving the current president, Faustin Touadera, as the winner.

The Central African Armed Forces, which are being trained by the EUTM-RCA, together with the support of the MINUSCA and Russian troops-who are also collaborating in training the Central African army-are keeping the rebels at bay for the time being.

France has an Air Force? Are the pilots all German?

Are all your pilots Muslims?

the planes need to be grounded for current to pass through them and the pilot.. that is why birds can sit on power lines and walk all along them unharmed.

Have Cumallah fine them for Green House Gassing.
Verde Merde.

>French military

They have to practice this stuff if they hope to fly under Russian radar.

IDK, but at exactly 1:38 a flaming CHUNK comes out of the engines.

I was surprised India chose them Rafale over Eurofighter Typhoon, American, or Russian flighter jets.

Go figure...

This was no small incident. Looks like the flying machine took a serious hit.
Going to cost quite some tax payers money to fix it.

Shortly before 2 p.m., the mayor of Le Castellet, driving his car, sees a first fighter plane over the town, very close to the ground: “It went so low that it made a hell of a noise. I then raised my head and saw a second aircraft”, explains Benoît Gouin.

Le Castellet, a yuppie village in the hills of Provence, welcomes the Formula 1 FRench Grand Prix every year.

Did John McCain come back from the dead?

THAT is an old John McCain trick (in case you don't remember)

:maverick:
:darkness:

Thet's not a stunt bubba, that's a practice run. It's becoming clearer by the day that governments all over the world are preparing to use armed forces against their own people as globalism gets pushed through. The power outages in Texas are supposedly weather related, sure they are. Everybody just keep believing that.

fucking hell

have they learned ANYTHING from slicing the lines for that cable car years ago?

apparently no
