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.

Dassault Rafale Slow Speed Flight

The Rafale has excellent low speed flight chacteristics due to its canard wing design.

Canard (aeronautics) Close coupling
