Description
Flying over the Baltic Sea and Lapland forests, 6 French Rafale fighter jets train with Swedish Gripen jets as part of this year's Pegase Far North exercise. The drill tests the rapidity of the deployment of a selection of French aircraft from various air bases, including 6 Rafale, 2 A400M Atlas, 2 A330 MRTT and 1 AWACS. Within 24 hours the craft had to be able to operate from Sweden where they train from April 22 to 26, before moving to Poland and then to Croatia for the same exercise. "The hardest thing is arriving and being ready to fly within 24 hours", says Captain Antoine, a pilot in the French Air Force. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
