The “Clemenceau 22” mission started on February 1st. As we previously reported, the deployment’s focus is on the Mediterranean region but some of the assets (a frigate and some fighters) were set to deploy in the Black Sea.
The French Navy told Naval News that this has now changed. Air Defense FREMM Frigate Alsace, the latest addition to the French Navy fleet, was expected to transit to the Black Sea to conduct interactions with the Romanian Navy. This plan has now been scrubbed “following the events which took place this week”.
