A small passenger plane coming from Germany was intercepted by an Air Force Rafale in the Ardèche countryside. Chased, he ended up landing in Ardèche. The pilot was arrested.

In the middle of the afternoon, Saturday June 24, a detonation tore the sky of the Ardèche countryside. “It sounded like a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier“, says a witness. A Rafale chased a small tourist plane loaded with drugs, which had left Germany. The behavior of the single-seater intrigued the authorities. It notably flew over the Fessenheim nuclear power plant, a prohibited area.

The packages found by the gendarmerie

Watched, the plane was chased by an Air Force Rafale, above the Ardèche. Panicked, the pilot dropped his cargo of synthetic drug, methamphetamine. He landed at Aubenas aerodrome, trying to flee on foot and threatening the staff, before being arrested. The inhabitants of the surrounding towns cannot believe it. The dropped packages were found by the gendarmerie. The pilot was taken into custody.
