France returned in 2009 but officials say Paris' interest in NATO exercises and missions increased after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, reflecting a view that a more assertive Moscow made NATO more vital to French security interests. Rear Admiral Jacques Mallard, the strike group’s commander, said it was in keeping with France already having some land and air forces under NATO command to deter Russia in eastern Europe.
On the eve of the mission, ambassadors to NATO from its 32 member countries visited the carrier, watching as grey Rafale fighter jets – catapulted by steam – took off from the flight deck under a pale blue sky.The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has held various iterations of Neptune Strike – which it calls"enhanced vigilance activity" - over the past two years.
