German airforce runs first refuelling mission over Syria
The A310 MRTT refuelled two combat aircraft Tuesday before returning from its five-hour mission shortly after midnight to the southern ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... military base at Incirlik, said a Bundeswehr front man, without identifying the other planes involved. The tanker aircraft is part of Berlin's deployment to aid the multinational anti-ISIS coalition, which also includes six German Tornado surveillance jets, a frigate helping protect the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and up to 1,200 troops. Unlike La Belle France, the United States and Britannia, Germany is not conducting bombing missions. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-12-17 |
