A fighter simulating the enemy of the US Air Force crashed on a residential area in the state of Nevada

The information about the fall of the fighter at one of the US military bases was confirmed. According to the latest information, we are talking about a French-made Mirage F1 light fighter, which (fighter) was operated at the American Nellis base in Nevada. The aircraft was owned by the private company Draken International, which provides services for the United States Air Force. What specific services are we talking about?


The aforementioned company uses aircraft to simulate aerial combat as an adversary to the US Air Force. This is one of the training options for American pilots - in the air confrontation with one or another enemy using foreign-made aircraft or US-made aircraft, repainted under the so-called "aggressor".

The plane crashed near Las Vegas. The pilot was killed. The company's management says that an investigation has begun into the causes of the crash of the fighter. From a statement by the company's press service:

We are working with federal, local and investigative authorities to determine what led to this tragic accident.

At the same time, in the summaries of American sources it is said that during the flight, Mirage F1 imitated the enemy for the F-15 fighter of the US Air Force training squadron. What exactly happened in the air has not yet been reported, but there are speculations that the plane could be damaged during "contact" with the F-15. It is known that the plane crashed in a residential area, just a few meters from the house of a local resident. Her name is called - Maria Gonzalez. The name of the pilot of the plane, imitating the enemy of the US Air Force, is not officially announced.

Maria Gonzalez in an interview with local journalists:

I heard a loud sound. Then a thick smoke poured down, everything began to burn. It turned out that the plane had fallen. He fell very close to my house. It's very scary. There were cars, a trailer



No casualties were reported on the ground.

    What happens if a piece of a wing with a red star is found? It will be possible to show at the UN from the podium, one such clown has already performed with a piece of the bus.

      It is logical to assume that there are still red stars on the "aggressor simulator".
      As for the Ukrainian dance on the bones of the victims killed by them, with a demonstration of the lining of the bus, this is beyond the bounds ...

          Since the pilot died, it means until the last moment he tried to take him away from residential areas.
          He died worthily.

      The fact of the matter is that the US Air Force has nothing to do with it. Private contractor, from him and demand. And rest assured that this company has the most powerful insurance that will pay both the family of the deceased pilot and everyone who suffered damage on the ground, and compensate the company for the loss of the aircraft. Because without such insurance, the company would not have been allowed to engage in such a business. The license would not be given for flights, and that's all.

        This is if, during the training battle, the combatants did not snipe at the simulator. You never know, we can loaded the real ammunition.

    If there are no victims, insurance will be paid, and most likely compensation from the owner company.
    There are a lot of private jets in the States, and they fall from time to time, there is simply a piquancy in the fact that it is a fighter and in the fact that it imitated the enemy. For China and Iran, I wonder, do they either paint them, or are they still training with Soviet aviation, as with the most serious enemy?

    The question arises, why are training air battles taking place in the immediate vicinity of populated areas?
    to determine what led to this tragic accident.
    As one of the options, what was written in the previous article yesterday - those written off from the Air Force due to their "old age" in another country were purchased by an American company to imitate the enemy.

    I think it's blasphemous to rejoice at the death of a pilot. Judging by the video from Twitter, the pilot landed the plane to the last, apparently from this and did not leave the car.

      And when in 98m in Italy, mattress flyers on the prowler killed 20 people on the funicular and their jury acquitted that that's where the blasphemy was. But here it has its own mattress and it will be necessary to keep the answer completely different because I think I did not have time to jump out.

    Something in recent years, accidents have become more frequent among our probable "partners", right up to aircraft crashes. And, by the way, where are Petrov and Boshirov? Where is this inseparable couple, what are they doing? laughing
    "After a while his voice rang out again:
    - And why is this smoke there, on the boulevard?
    - This is Griboyedov burning, - answered Azazello.
    - We must assume that this is an inseparable couple Koroviev and a hippopotamus, have you been there?
    - There is no doubt about that, Messire. "(C) M. Bulgakov" Master and Margarita "

    I agree. In such a situation, the pilot of the Air Force of any country or even a private company, as in this case, and they all also went through service in the Air Force, has no choice.

    To play the role of "aggressor" is usually trusted only to the most experienced pilots who have not only excellent skills in piloting and combat, but also have excellent tactical training, who know and own the techniques of the air forces of many countries of the world, because even within NATO, not to mention us, there are differences and you can say schools.
