Three Ship Flight
-
Would the French Air Force ever operate like that in a real high threat environment like the DPRK?
We are not operating over DPRK those last years, so we adapt to the situation when it is needed (no more systematic NOE with M2000D either and M2000N are also doing conventional strikes … )
As you know, if/when air superiority/supremacy is gained, you need less mutual support against air threat … so a three ship flight for STRIKE, CAS, SCAR … missions are not surprising me. However, I do not know if it is a common configuration or rather rare (?)
EDIT: I’ve also seen (rare cases) mixed patrols (Rafale + M2000N … M2000D + MF1CT … less rare: C160 + C130 )

Is DPRK a real threat environment or a paper tiger?
