France relocated its aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle closer to Syria

February 9 2020 74

France moved its carrier group closer to the coast of Syria. Currently, the ACG, led by the nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle ("Charles de Gaulle") is located only 120 km from Syria, which allows striking at targets on its territory and neighboring Iraq, follows from new satellite images.

It was previously stated that the French aircraft carrier will head to the Syrian coast to support the French contingent in the fight against the Islamic State banned in Russia. The aircraft carrier went on a campaign on January 22 of this year from the naval base in Toulon. On board are 18 Rafale M multipurpose fighter-bombers, two E-2C Hawkeye long-range radar detection aircraft and three helicopters.

The French Navy’s AUG also includes two missile frigates, an atomic strike submarine, and a supply vessel. In addition, a Greek frigate joined her. Currently, the aircraft carrier group runs near the Russian military bases in Syria - Tartus and Khmeimim.

Meanwhile, the United States again stepped up aerial reconnaissance in the area of the location of the Russian MTO Tartus and the Khmeimim military base. According to Western aviation resources, on Saturday, two American reconnaissance aircraft - the P-8A Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft and the EP-3E Aries II long-range electronic reconnaissance aircraft - conducted reconnaissance in the area of the Russian military bases for two hours.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, recently, US aircraft fly along the Syrian coast almost daily, and on some days - several aircraft at once.

On November 15, 2016, while striking targets in Syria, the Onyx missiles of the Bastion complex were launched on targets on land. This event is both the first case of using the complex in real combat operations in general, and the first widely known case of using the complex on ground targets.

  Media: US Army creates new military bases in northeast Syria
  Anadolu sources say that with the help of a base in the Tel Birak area, the Americans intend to block Russian military access to one of Syria’s main oil production centers in the Rumeilan region.
  
  ACC, February 9th. US Army Command creates new military facilities in northeastern Syria to gain a foothold in the oil-bearing areas of the country. This was reported on Saturday by Anadolu.
  
  According to sources, the U.S. military has begun building a base near Tell Birak in Hasek province. Sources say that with the help of this base, the Americans intend to block the Russian military path to one of Syria's main oil production centers in the Rumeylan region. Construction equipment and materials for the construction of the US Armed Forces object were transferred from Iraq. Under another base, the US Armed Forces will convert former Kurdish military installations in the south of Hasek province. This base will be used to control oil production in the province of Deir ez-Zor.
  
  U.S. President Donald Trump at the end of October 2019 announced the withdrawal of the U.S. military from the area of the Turkish operation, but said that Washington intends to maintain control of oil fields in the north-east of the country. General Mark Milli, chairman of the US Chiefs of Staff Committee, later said the United States intended to maintain control of the area in Deir ez-Zor, where oil and gas facilities are located.
  
  The Russian Defense Ministry said the United States was smuggling Syrian oil to other countries, and caravans were guarded by US private military companies and special forces. According to US Special Representative for Syria James Jeffrey, their presence in the region is legal, and Washington wants to guarantee that oil facilities in the north-east of the republic will not fall into the hands of terrorists. At the end of November, Jeffrey stated that "according to the Syrian constitution, oil belongs to the Syrian people."
  
  This is how the dashboard withdraws troops from Syria

In the year 18, with an attempt to strike Syria, the Frechs already sat in a puddle.
Only one of the three ships at all was able to launch rockets.
According to the French, 7 missiles hit some sort of bunker.
Only they did not report the location of the "affected" bunker.
Of the 10 missiles planned to be launched from rafals, 7 flopped into the sea, two engines immediately failed after launch, one because of the failure was not launched at all.

"Charles de Gaulle"

On board are 18 Rafale M multipurpose fighter-bombers, two E-2C Hawkeye long-range radar detection aircraft and three helicopters.

Not much. Except for AWACS aircraft, our TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov" is in no way inferior to the French aircraft carrier.

So, when someone opens his mouth, about the weakness or even uselessness of the TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov" - send them to the French (2nd European economy) or the British (heirs of the Queen of the Seas) they have no AWACS aircraft on their carriers.

French AUG is not impressive either -

includes two missile frigates, an atomic strike submarine, and a supply vessel. In addition, a Greek frigate joined her.
