Babelfish translation:
Two Rafale are crushed at sea
Since the BPC Mistral
Two Rafale Marine of the flotilla 12F of Landivisiau were crushed at sea this evening towards 18:00, to 30 km of Perpignan. One of the pilots was recovered, and the navy business to find the second. The apparatuses were in mission of test, within the framework of the requalification of the PACDG explains the navy. This last is currently to 35 Nm in the south of Toulon, and takes part in a exercise of validation of the NRF14.
Important backup facilities were engaged to find the missing pilot. It is in particular of a high-speed motorboat of the SNSM, a ATL-2, a Dolphin SP, two Dolphin, a E-2C Hawkeye and a EC145 of the base civil security, based in Perpignan. Dolphin SP took off under our eyes, shortly after 19 hours.
One is unaware of from where the two Rafale took off, and which was precisely the test evoked by the navy which currently qualifies the F3 standard (nuclear). Of the Rafale currently operate since the ROUND OF APPLAUSE of Nimes.
A Rafale of the air force had been lost on December 6, 2007, after what had been described like the continuation of a sensory illusion. The navy had not known an accident since the beginning of the exploitation. It had only recorded minor damage on an apparatus left track, in Lann-Bihoué (Morbihan).
The 12F is the only flotilla equipped for the moment with Rafale, before the nearest transformation of the flotilla 11F.
Since 2001, the 12F evolved/moved on several occasions on the Afghan theatre. The flotilla had not lost of pilot - and apparatus since it had migrated on Rafale, after accidents with repetition related to the obsolescence of its preceding apparatus, Crusader.
