Im curious.....when we hear of a NATO airstrike is it anyone else besides the US physically dropping the bombs?
Even when the Germans called in the strike to blow up the Talibans hijacked fuel truck a few months ago it was US warplane that engaged the target.
>> is it anyone else besides the US physically dropping the bombs?
Probably not. Bombs cost money and Euroweenies are allergic to spending money on defense.
(Just kidding... maybe.)
The Dutch, Brits, French and Belgians are also conducting airstrikes though “National Caveats” to the ROE can have an effect on what can be dropped when, where, and under what circumstances.
