, not inferior to last year's "Top Secret Flight"
Aerial Battle. It is more of a visual Blockbusters, blue skies, the soaring Mirage 2000 and various fighter planes, dazzling high angle of attack climbs, afterburner takeoffs, and aerial combat fill the entire screen. Although it is very simple, it is really attractive.
A layman watches the fun, an expert watches the doorway, although he can't say that he is an expert, but since he has been interested in the military for more than ten years, after seeing the various fighters in the film, he can't help but talk about his feelings.
The protagonist of the film is undoubtedly the Mirage 2000. It should be said that this model is not the latest fighter jet. The Mirage 2000, which has been in service for 30 years, is approaching the end of its military career. However, in the world of modern military aircraft, the status of the Mirage 2000 is still quite important. There are mainly these aspects.
First of all, after the end of World War II, most Western European countries joined NATO, so American fighter jets flooded the skies of Europe, and many countries gave up developing their own fighter jets and bought ready-made American fighter jets. However, the French, who have always been very individual, resolutely resisted American fighter jets. It is very simple. Military aircraft, which are of great significance to national security, cannot be handed over to foreigners, so the French Dassault Company has always insisted on developing and producing France's own military aircraft. , Phantom 2000 is the product of this idea. The predecessor of the Mirage 2000, the Mirage III, the Mirage F1 fighter, has always adhered to the principle of complete localization in France.
Secondly, the Mirage series of fighter jets, from the earliest Mirage III (developed in the 1960s), has always adhered to the unique aerodynamic shape of the tailless delta wing, which is what we saw in the film. For the huge triangular wing, only France is the only one in the world who insists on using this shape. This shape was quite popular in the 1960s. The United States also developed F102 triangle javelin, F106 triangle sword and other similar shape fighters, and even my country in the 1960s. The developed J-9 fighter also adopts this shape. This shape has good hovering, the aircraft is flexible and maneuverable, and the roll speed is fast, which is also mentioned in the film. But there are also some problems, such as the vertical maneuverability is not very ideal, etc. Some new fighters developed now mostly adopt the canard wing structure, that is, add canard winglets in front of the wings to enhance maneuverability. Type J-10, Eurofighter, etc...
Other aircraft that appear in the film, the most important role is the Alpha trainer/attack aircraft. It is the slightly smaller military plane that the hero and heroine co-piloted. Alpha is a light advanced trainer jointly developed by France, Italy and Germany. It is mainly used to train pilots, but it can also perform combat missions. The flight speed is not fast, but it is very flexible. , The "French Patrol" air show team that appeared in the film used this model. By the way, during the Sino-French Cultural Year the year before last, the French Patrol also held many performances in China.
There is also a military transport aircraft painted with the word UN that appeared in the desert after the protagonists' Phantom 2000 was hijacked. Airplanes, Tornado attack aircraft, Harrier VTOL fighters, F15 fighter jets, etc. Because there are not many scenes, I will not repeat them one by one.
Let's talk about the plot. The plot of the film is relatively simple. Because it is adapted from a comic, the rhythm is still very fast. To be honest, it seems a bit too fast. It feels like a lot of pinch off. There are many things that are unclear, such as where the terrorist organization is sacred, and what is the final result... It's a bit of a letdown.
In other respects, it's ok. Among them, I especially like the feeling of despair after the two protagonists were fired. I used to drive a fighter jet with twice the speed of sound and can fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters, but now I can only drive a classic plane. , the advertisement of pulling a condom... That kind of psychological gap is definitely bigger than the speed gap of the plane being driven. The flight shots in the film are also great, handled beautifully, and with the music, especially the part of driving Alpha in the Alps, it's a landscape film. The Phantom plane flies through the clouds and somersaults, and it also shows the excellent performance of the Phantom fighter. The escape of the two protagonists after being hijacked at the airport is also quite good. The No. 1 protagonist, let's call it Moustache, was forced to take terrorists on the plane. As a result, he was witty and low-altitude through the field, and turned on the afterburner to fly at supersonic speed. Some people may not understand this paragraph very well. It needs to be explained that when the aircraft is flying at supersonic speed, especially at low altitudes, a sonic boom will occur. This is because a high-speed flying aircraft passes through dense air, causing the air around the aircraft to be rapidly squeezed and expanded, resulting in a phenomenon similar to an explosion. This phenomenon will generate huge sound wave energy. If it flies at low altitude, it will cause damage to ground objects. From the ground, it is a huge bang, so the second protagonist sees the moustache flying at low altitude and high speed, and will do it in advance. Be prepared, and the terrorists will be pierced through the eardrums by the huge sound waves. In general, it is difficult for us to see sonic booms in our daily life. Most aircraft fly at supersonic speeds at high altitudes. Such huge sonic boom energy is absorbed by layers of air, and it is very weak when it reaches the ground. In the past, there have been frequent reports in the United States that the sonic boom caused by the military's fighter jet flying at low altitude and high speed caused the death of the sheep in the pasture, resulting in huge compensation and so on.
In the end, the last Mirage 2000 controlled by terrorists mixed into the scene of the G8 summit, ready to attack the tanker. Speaking of the tanker, the tankers in the film are all American KC135 tankers, which are modified with Boeing 707 airframes. At the same time, the E3 early warning aircraft that appeared in the back also uses this type of body. The KC135 tanker is designed for American military aircraft. It uses hard refueling. The refueling rod is controlled by the tanker and inserted into the air receiving port of the aircraft. However, the phantom aircraft uses soft aerial refueling, and the aircraft actively inserts the refueling tube into the air. In the refueling pipe towed by the tanker, but the tanker in the film has been improved in this regard, and this improvement is actually used in practice. Our country's air tankers are basically the same as those in France. In the end, the Phantom fighter piloted by the villain was pegged, and at this time she chose to parachute, and the mustache did not shoot it down immediately, and that plane continued to fly for a while, which is entirely possible, modern fighters just fly themselves. It is said that it does not require much intervention from the driver. The endurance of modern fighters is very long, and it takes several or even ten hours to perform an air mission. The Russian Su34 fighter-bomber even has a toilet... So big Most cruise flights are done on autopilot. In the 1980s, there was a very sensational incident. A Soviet MiG-23 fighter jet malfunctioned during flight training. The pilot was ordered to parachute. After the ejection, the engine was restarted due to the vibration. As a result, the unmanned aircraft was restarted. The fighter jets continued to fly, crossed the national border, and flew over West Germany, causing panic in the NATO Air Force. When the American fighter jets were about to intercept, they were surprised to find that there was no one on the fighter jet painted with red stars... Finally, After 5 hours of unmanned flight, the plane ran out of fuel or the engine stalled, and fell headlong over the Netherlands, hitting a farm hut... A 19-year-old youth in the house suffered a flying accident... ... It's really destined to die in the dark... It's so bizarre to die...
In the end, a clue running through the film is the arms deal. The terrorists manipulated an arms deal to plan this operation, and the opponent of the Mirage 2000 is the American F16 fighter jet. In reality, the characteristics of these two aircraft are similar, and indeed The competition in the international arms market is fierce. Of course, the United States has a big business and many younger brothers, so the Mirage 2000 often loses. However, there are times when it succeeds. In 1992, Taiwan purchased 60 Mirage 2000 fighter jets, causing a lot of confusion in my country and France. relationship is strained. Interestingly, just before this, Taiwan just purchased 150 F16 fighter jets from the United States. Now, these 200-odd fighter jets are the main force of the Taiwan Air Force...and our main opponent, but long before this, in 1979 , my country, which has just reformed and opened up, sent Air Force personnel to France to inspect the Mirage 2000. At that time, France sold it to us with sincerity, but unfortunately we thought it was too expensive, and there were other reasons, so we could not make a deal in the end, but it also allowed our air force personnel to have close contact with the most advanced fighter jets in the West at that time, which broadened their horizons. . Now, there are not many countries that can afford to buy fighter jets. As the backbone of the French aviation industry, Dassault, which produces Mirage fighter jets, is not in an ideal situation. They are also trying to sell Mirage 2000 fighter jets, so this film is basically Mirage 2000. One of the advertisements of the film has indeed achieved this effect. I believe that the beautiful and vigorous posture of the Phantom 2000 must have left a deep impression on everyone who watched this film.
