Pilot of the Polish F-16, accompanying a group of Russian military aircraft of various types in international airspace, behaved a little strange. maybe, it was a reaction to the speeds and angles of the Russian aerospace forces.
This opinion was expressed by the Fighterbomber Telegram channel, posted a video of the incident.
The author of the post suggested, that the pilot of a Polish fighter flew with a full tank. Having flown up to Russian planes and surprised at their capabilities, he suddenly decided to release the chassis.
This maneuver is more than strange. Especially considering, what, according to international rules, it means an order for the escorted plane to land immediately at the nearest airfield. It is worth paying attention to the fact, that all this happens in neutral airspace at an altitude of approximately 5-6 thousand meters. That is why the signal on “forced landing” looked ridiculous.
At the same time, the Polish Air Force fighter was in the takeoff and landing configuration, wing mechanization in automatic mode was issued at maximum angles. presumably, this allowed the aircraft to slow down, not falling down.
maybe, this Polish pilot decided to master “innovative” way to track potential goals.
All these maneuvers of the Polish Air Force fighter amused Russian pilots.
