This film is based on the actual incident of Yugoslavia shooting down the F117 in 1999

On the night of March 24, 1999, the FRY suffered the first wave of air strikes. Since then, a 78-day aerial bombardment has begun.

On the evening of March 27, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Zelko piloted a stealth fighter plane. After completing the bombing mission, he was shot down by a Yugoslav missile in the suburbs of Belgrade. After a violent shaking, the plane quickly crashed to the land. According to the usual training, Lieutenant Colonel Zelko pressed the eject button.

He understands that he has now penetrated into the enemy's hinterland. You should find a way to escape this ghost place quickly. Because the Yugoslavian search and tracking forces will immediately move closer to the crash site. Once caught by the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, it is gratifying that the pilots in the sky over each theater have completed the "SERE" field survival training course. It is said that the course is divided into three levels: A, B, and C. C-level is an advanced course, special forces and fighter pilots of enemy countries will participate in this type of course.

Speaking of this movie, I have to mention the classic F18 Hornet and Sam 13 air chase scene, which is very exciting. According to 360 Encyclopedia: The Sam 13 missile adopts full-range infrared guidance and has strong anti-human and background interference capabilities. Two Sam 13 air defense missiles are tracking F18 at the same time, which is really scary.

In fact, all pilots will be told that they should look for a hiding place immediately after the parachute jumps to the ground. Because the enemy forces will be swarming, launch a big search. The value of a carrier-based pilot is immeasurable.

Some time ago, it was reported in the news that the Su-25 was shot down by the rebels. The injured pilot would rather fire a grenade than fall into the enemy's hands.

Radio equipment is always disconnected at critical moments. The seal team of "Lonely Survivor" has also been unable to contact the headquarters, and needs to climb up a small hill to send the signal.

Generally speaking, the escape routes of carrier-based aircraft pilots are pre-determined. In this way, the aircraft of the search and rescue forces will continue to search along this route.

If the pilot does not appear on the scheduled escape route, the search and rescue helicopter will fly over here again at intervals.

"Deep Behind Enemy Lines" is an early work of Owen Wilson. After filming "Shanghai Noon" with Jackie Chan, it gradually became known to the outside world. Other movies starring Owen Wilson are: "The Wedding Proud", "Wonderful Night at the Museum", "Meet Father-in-Law", "Uncle Intern", "Cars", "Miracle Boy".

Of course, there are two sequels to "Deep Behind Enemy Lines", namely "Deep Behind Enemy Lines: Axis of Evil" and "Deep Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia".
