30.maja dva Francuska Mirage-2000C su iznad Baltickog mora presrela dva ruska SU-27,koji
su bili u pratnji A-50
Citat:On 30 May 2011, a patrol of two Mirage 2000 RDI intercepted over the Baltic Sea, a Russian HVAA (High Value Air Asset) average value of air consists of a Beriev A-50 "Mainstay" and 2 hunters Sukhoi-27 "Flanker".
Alerted at 11:40 am, the two French hunters take off quickly from the air base in Siauliai in Lithuania to control an aircraft performing the air link Saint-Petersbourg/Kaliningrad.
The Mirage 2000 radar detected a presence on the position indicated by the air traffic controllers in Kaunas. However, five different blocks are viewable on the VTB (monochrome LCD head-down display that shows the radar echoes to the pilot) while the two French pilots were preparing to control a single aircraft.
Indeed, the flight plan filed by the crew of the Beriev A-50 indicated the single unit of AWACS (Airborne Warning And Control System: Airborne Warning and Control System), but not both Su-27 escort. In addition, two Swedish Jas-39 Gripen were already conducting a surveillance behind this impressive device. The two Mirage 2000 took over the Gripen to accompany the three Russian aircraft to the limit of the Baltic airspace.
The A-50 "Mainstay", built from the cell of the Ilyushin 76-MD "Candid" (cargo aircraft equivalent of C-141 Starlifter U.S.) is a Russian aircraft warning and forward air control.
