New French reconnaissance mission over Sirte

The Address | Benghazi – Libya

ItaMilRadar tracked on Wednesday morning from Istres Air Base, southern France, to the Strait of Sicily, a French Air Force Boeing C-135FR ” Stratotanker “ (735). The aircraft followed the usual route used by French tankers in flight to Libya.

The aircraft is departed at 08:23 CEST and is disappeared around 09:56 CEST, according to ItaMilRadar, a website for tracking military flights over Italy and the Mediterranean Sea.

The mission was still in progress at 12:00 local time, according to the Website. “The Stratotanker is not alone and we can suppose that in the area there are probably other French aircraft,” ItaMilRadar added.
