The eyes of the world are on Afghanistan. Anxiety and excitement roar in everyone’s mind. Rescue operations in Afghanistan have been progressing for days. The community was shocked to see the scenes at the Kabul airport. The nations of the world are working together for the security of the Afghan people. Countries such as India, the United States, France, and Germany have flown many people home.
Meanwhile, the French Air Force plane that arrived for the rescue mission is making headlines. The cause of the fire was the flames that came out of the plane during take-off. The ‘flares’ came out of a French Air Force A400M aircraft that was flying with passengers. The anti-missile flare system was used on an Airbus A400M aircraft while flying to Al Dhafra Air Base. The missiles come at the planes following the heat from the engine. Applying flares at this point can save the aircraft from being misled by missiles.
The anti-missile flare was used during take-off amid threats from Taliban militants. It is one of the most technologically advanced missile defense systems. It can also deflect anti-aircraft missiles.
This means that the French Air Force aircraft can detect missile threats and operate anti-missile flares automatically. The Taliban have seized several small missiles abandoned by the United States and given to the Afghan army. Anti-missile flare is thought to have been used to counter such a missile threat.
The system is usually mounted on the fuselage, wing and front of the aircraft. Most countries’ VVIP aircraft will have this missile defense system. The VVIP aircraft recently purchased by India also has an infrared countermeasure system.
