The
French helicopters fight the Colonel Kaddafi forces since
June 4th, 2011. Commander aboard the aircraft carrier
Charles-de-Gaulle of the French Navy around the coast
of Libya, the admiral Philippe Coindreau revealed yesterday,
this June 8th, 2011, during a videoconference with journalists,
that the French helicopters had undergone shootings of
ground-to-air missiles Manpads (Man Portable Air System
