Jean-Yves Le Drian, the defense minister, expressed his satisfaction after the success of a new strength evaluation shooting (TEF) of the weapon system "Burst / Missile average soil air improved range (ASMPA)" example operation of a real nuclear deterrence mission.
It extends its warm congratulations to all the women and men of the Strategic Air Forces (SAF), the Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) and companies who contributed to its success.
Thursday, June 11, 2015, a crew of 01 091 Fighter Squadron "Gascogne" took off from Air Base 113 Saint-Dizier for a mission of more than four hours, which brought together all the characteristic phases of an aerial deterrence mission : successive supplies by a C135 refueling in flight 02/091 Group "Britain" in low altitude penetration, terrain following and shooting accuracy of a ASMPA (without nuclear charge) on its target test center Missile General of Armaments (DGA) in Biscarrosse
Long planned, at regular intervals, the assessment of the strengths shots are a demonstration of the reliability of a weapons system constantly improving. This success strengthens the technical and operational credibility of deterrence whose permanence is assured for over fifty years.
