    This thread don’t want to ignite a French-Israeli war
    We must remember that france is cooperating with IAI on the EAGLE
    UAV system and that Israel will have disapeared since a long time
    if the french had not delivered the Mirage 3 and magister to IDF
    We must remember that Tsahal has a lot of French soldiers in it !!!
    Some do a French military career before going to Tsahal so they have the skill for some special duties (I know one of them wich is a marine comando)
    I don’t think the IDF want to hurt the french but my view is that when the Israeli agreed for UN mission in Lebanon they were thinking that it was only for ground troops with light equipments…
    I think they were surprised to see Leclerc MBT, AU-F1 155mm artillery unit and Mistral Manpads so they provoque the French to see if they open fire
    in “peace time” so they can be sure that they will not do it in “war time”
    with the Hezbollah in a few months…

    We must remenber that france was not very interested
    to send more troops in lebanon because she knew that they will
    face an impossible mission and that Tsahal was pleased to see the finul
    deployed in lebanon so they could retreat with limited casualty to studies
    the war lessons before starting a new one

    I think finul provide them with an interesting protective wall
    The only think they need is to made recon missions over lebanon

    Chirac himself tell to the spanish president that there is a possibility
    that the situation degenerate 5 or 6 month after the finul 2 deployment
    but this talk was not due to be made public
    Y think that he has some informations about an israeli or syrian / hezbollan / iranian agenda

    to protect their troops
    they’ve got one battery of SATCP Mistral from the 57 RA of Bitche
    A manpad system similar to the stinger but with a tripod
    because it’s more heavy
    They protect the troops, the AMX-10, the squadron of leclerc tanks and the artillery battery of AU-F1 (4) from the 1er RAMA regiment where y have done
    my national service.
    When y was in this regiment my chief was qualifying on the mistral
    it’s a very modern system with a great probability of hit and if the IDF F-15 try an other time to intimidate our troops y think it will be only a question of politic that can avoid a shot down

    ATL2 in the desert ???

    Why is there a maritime patrol aircraft in the middle of africa ???

    Don’t forget that french military in africa is very “evasive”
    when y gave some informations about equipment it’s an estimation
    because no one can confirm an air force or naval detachment in
    this continent they are moving every time from a location to an other

    FUDD REBELS

    The FUDD Rebels want regime change in Tchad
    The actual president is Idryss Deby and he is helped by the french
    government
    The FUDD came from sudan were they are equiped and trained but
    nearly all of them are tchadians nationals
    some of them were in the tchadian army before changing of side
    The FUDD is trying to do the same thing that the FUC and the RAFD (two rebel groups opposed to deby) in april but failed with heavy losses when they were at the door of N’DJAMENA
    Some uncomfirmed reports suggest that the town of goz’beida was taken by the rebels yesterday

    The tchadian rebels of the forces union of democratie and devellopment (FUDD)have confirmed that they have shot at the plane with a portable missile
    probably a SAM-7 but they said that it was an error and apologised

    with an electronic device (ECM)

    1-2 Transall transport planes
    1-2 Puma transport helicopters
    2-3 Gazelles light combat helicopters

    transportation for le bourget

    Le bourget is 20kms at the north-east of paris
    if you land at roissy CDG it’s 10-15 min by RER B train to Le bourget station
    If you take the shuttle from england you will have to take RER B
    from GARE DU NORD station in PARIS and then it’s 30 minutes

    I’ve seen the video of Ivorian attack on french TV
    but the cameraman was far from the action, (about 1000 meters)
    The two SU-25s made two reconnaissance passes at low altitude.
    French officers were watching them without thinking they will
    attack their camp, french forces were easily marked with flags
    and orange colors on their vehicles.
    A great parts of the french barracks were hit by the sukoi’s rockets
    and at least a french VAB (french IFV) was destroyed

    It seem to me very incredible that Ivorians have prepared to strike
    and loaded their bombs only 600 meters from a french regiment
    of nearly 700 men and have landed at the same base without
    thinking of the consequences.

    I think it was a suicide mission.
