Situation report: French Air Force strikes hard from Jordan

摘要

The French Air Force will not acknowledge the exact location of its base in Jordan. All that can be said is that its deployed air base (Base Aérienne Projetée, or BAP) is a few minutes of flying time from the Syrian and Iraqi borders. "And we are less than 60 minutes from Mosul, which is a huge improvement from our Air Base 104 located in the UAE [United Arab Emirates]," the BAP's commander, Colonel 'Jean-Luc', told Jane's.
