3 French Mirage Mirage 2000D have been deployed in Jordan to assist in the fight against the ISIS group, a Jordanian military spokesman said on Saturday.France, which is participating in U.S.-led coalition air strikes in Iraq, said this month it would deploy six jet fighters in Jordan.
Army spokesman Colonel Mamduh al-Amiri said three of the aircraft arrived late Friday as part of the “operational strategy to confront threats in the region,” according to state-run Petra news agency.
Amiri did not say where the jets were deployed or when the other three would arrive in Jordan, a neighbor of both Syria and Iraq where ISIS jihadists have seized swathes of territory.
