Does anybody know the real NATO air ODB in Afghanistan?

Use of weapons is not always necessary. Sometimes, a fast pass at low altitude is sufficient to exit anti-coalition militiamen out of their hiding places and get killed by NATO snipers.

FAF has (only) 3 Mirage 2000D based in Dushambe (Tadjikistan) to support NATO ground troops. But apparently they are not really efficient in the CAS role too because only 7 or 8 GBU-12 have been expended in 4 months.

France is sending 2 C-160, a Casa 235, 3 CSAR EC-725 in Cyprus (probably Akrotiri or Larnaca), and LPD Sirocco and frigate Jean de Vienne in eastern mediterranea for evacuation of french nationals
