France offered planes for Eastern Europe surveillance

France provides, since the beginning of April, an AWACS type radar aircraft for aerial surveillance missions in Eastern Europe, according to the General Staff of the French army.

"Since the beginning of April, every three or four days AWACS aircraft perform a flight," said the spokesman of the General Staff of the French Army, Colonel Gilles Jaron.

In mid-March, Paris proposed to the Baltic countries and to Poland, aircrafts to conduct surveillance missions.

Apart from AWACS, Paris proposed the provision of four fighter jets for Baltic airspace surveillance, but NATO has not made any official request in this regard.
