@couteaudelta mirage-2000 Lead & no 2 loosing altitude and applying air brake to reduce speed followed by a zoom up. Fact check: Here are the points explaining the Mirage 2000's lead and wingman losing altitude followed by an airbrake and zoom up procedure: 1. Initial Loss of Altitude: The lead and wingman Mirage 2000s lose altitude while performing a tactical maneuver. This is due to the aircraft's delta-wing design, which is inherently unstable and requires fly-by-wire controls to maintain sta
