Not to worry.
No commuter trains have been shot down since after Bill Clinton bagged that one in Serbia.

Unfortunately, this isn’t a case of the train going as fast as a fighter jet, but rather a fighter jet going as slow as a train. This is even more obvious by the second jet literally running circles around the Rafale and the train. I was thinking the jet must be flirting with its stall speed.

France has slow fighter jets?

France has high speed rail, cool. But, US freight rail are the envy of the World.

I think high-speed trains work well in Europe and Japan and serve a real purpose. That clip is pretty cool!.
Reminds me of the American version, where some car show took that fancy new Ford truck (Raptor?) with the stock off-road package and raced it across the desert against a helicopter. (Well it was more of a gimic than a race - but I think the truck was over 100 MPH off road!)

France is slightly less than the size of Texas.

perhaps the authorites were worried it had been hijacked by terrorists so they gave it a fighter escort?
(only being semi-serious).

Hi-speed rail is GREAT!! It is better than sliced bread and indoor plumbing and Wi-Fi and sex and everything!!
We need it everywhere in the USA (and the government can pay for it)

Watch a French fighter plane and a high speed train stay together using this one weird trick.
