A European detachment of Dutch, Norwegian, and Danish F-16s participated in a large-scale action in southern Afghanistan in late January. Coalition ground troops requested air support after their convoy came under fire. In response, F-16s from the European Participating Air Forces were sent to the location. Dutch pilots were the first to arrive on the scene. The Dutch were relieved by the Norwegians, who later dropped laser-guided bombs on a target. The action was the largest military operation in the area since Operation Anaconda last year. |
