The importance of air deliveries for Operation Barkhane

[Vergennes]

In order to be able to continue the hunt for terrorists as long as possible, the soldiers of the Barkhane Force call for air deliveries to re-supply the troops with fuel,ammunitions,water and food.

Given Operation Barkhane's areas of operations is as large as Europe coupled with the fact closest bases can be several hours or even days away by road,air delivery is privileged for quick supply. No threats of IEDs or rough terrains which could slow the supplies.

UAV version of A400 would be nice. But I think I'd send some AUV along just to loiter around until the right troops get to the supplies. Would suck if the terrorists got to it first.
