November 15, 201510 yr The media are reporting wrongly (How not!) France has begun today his air bombing campaign against Daesh targets in Syria, but it's not true. The campaign, named Operation Chammal, begun on 27 September 2015, just three days before the Putin bombing actions from Latakia. But even before France was attacking Daesh targets in Irak from 18 September 2014, a year before: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op%C3%A9ration_Chammal Other references: Air Fan magazine, October 2015 issue: 6xRafale, 1xC-135, 1xAtlantique in Al Dhafra, UAE, and 3xMirage 2000D and 3xMirage 2000N operating from Jordania. The search engine (I was looking for Operation Chammal) in L'Armee de l'Air official site is temporally down.
