Usually Andersen AFB hosts Boeing C-17A Globemaster III, McDonnell-Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle, or Rockwell B-1B Lancer. This Wednesday, June 28, 2023 its visitors were much more exotic: eleven French planes in the colors of the Air Force and Space. And in this part of the Pacific the Airbus DS A330 MRTT Phénix and A400M Atlas, and even more so the Dassault Aviation Rafale F3-R do not go unnoticed. For many US Air Force soldiers, it was even the first time they had seen it! Over the next three weeks the six omnirole fighter jets, three air-to-air tankers, and two cargo planes will participate in several combined arms exercises with US forces. This is why their presence on the island of Guam, and more specifically at Andersen AFB, seemed normal. The United States and France are two extremely loyal and close allies, both in Europe and in the Near/Middle East. In the Asia-Pacific zone, they must relearn how to work together, both having very strong interests there. If New Caledonia, French Polynesia, or Wallis-and-Futuna are well-known territories in our latitudes, it is different from Guam. It is perhaps useful to recall its very special international status. Unlike New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Wallis-and-Futuna which here are COMs (Overseas Collectivities) governed by article 74 of the 1958 constitution, the island of Guam is a UOT (for Unincorporated and Organized Territories) not having the rank of state and having no elected parliamentarian sitting in Washington DC. The UOTs actually have a status closer to what the French colonies were before 1963. The United States has four different UOTs: the Marianas archipelago and Guam in the Pacific, and the Virgin Islands archipelago and Puerto Rico in the West Indies. With the rise of Chinese expansionism but also North Korean gestures, Andersen AFB is currently one of the major deployment bases of American defense policy. It is therefore not innocent that the French crews came there as part of Operation Pégase 2023. The American aircraft with which they will train over the next few weeks will be based there for some. It should be noted that before impressing the American soldiers in the Pacific, the eleven French planes have already had a visit of choice. Young compatriots, students from the French high school in Kuala Lumpur, were able to talk with the women and men of the Air and Space Force. Organized by the French Embassy in Malaysia, this visit was an opportunity for these daughters and sons of expatriates to better understand what an A330 MRTT, an A400M, and of course the star, the Rafale, are! In the sovereign airspace of Malaysia, the eleven planes of the Air and Space Force had the possibility of evolving with fighters of the TUDM, the Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia. Flying in tandem with both McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18D Hornets and Sukhoi Su-30MKM Flanker-Cs does not have to happen every day for French Dassault Aviation Rafale F3-R pilots. The kif should also be shared by their Malaysian counterparts for whom evolving in their own skies with nothing less than one of the two best combat aircraft on the planet is exceptional. French and Malaysian hunters evolving side by side. As you will have understood, Pégase 2023 is not just a show of force by France aimed at China and North Korea. It is also a formidable tool of diplomacy towards our Asian partners and our American ally. At Kuala Lumpur airport, the French operation was undoubtedly also a machine for creating dreams and memories for our young compatriots from the other side of the world. And what about our airmen who can fly where the Air Force so rarely went. What the Air Force could not do in the 20th century, the Air and Space Force can do in the 21st. This is also the A330 MRTT and Rafale duality!

Yes, Switzerland chose the F-35 instead, a stealth aircraft meant for SEAD and DEAD, for penetration into contested airspace. A neutral country just wants to defend its airspace. The F-35 costs close to twice as much per flight hours as a Rafale.. It's a repeat of the US browbeating West Germany into buying the F-104 Starfighter, a plane with tiny wings that can't turn, to be used as a multirole fighter. The Germans called it the widowmaker.

Early 2021: the Rafale has succeeded all tests. June 16, 2021: Joe Biden meets Swiss Confederation President Guy Parmelin and Federal Councilor Ignazio Cassis in Geneva. June 30, 2021: Switzerland chooses the F-35... Maybe President Biden reminded Swiss officials previous sanctions against Swiss banks? We’ll never know: 2009: "UBS had to pay $780 mn to escape prosecution for tax evasion in the United States." December 2012: "UBS pays $1.53 bn to settle lawsuits related to alleged manipulation of the Libor interbank rate." May 2014: “Credit Suisse must pay a fine of $2.6 bn for inducing American taxpayers to evade taxes by opening secret accounts in Switzerland.” May 2015: "UBS receives two new fines ($342 mn and $203 mn) in the US in cases of currency manipulation and the Libor rate." etc. etc ...

Al Qaeda Maghreb Islamic troops are rushing towards Bamako and Malian troops are soon to be defeated. 6 Rafale fighter jets take off from Northern France and fly to Mali, 6,200 km away. Jets flew over France, Mediterranean sea, Morocco and Mauritania in order to avoid Algeria, refueling *three times* during the flight (French Air Force operates 14 KC-135F). About six hours later, AQ columns are stopped by Rafale jets dropping GBUs. Landing in Chad after 9h 35mn in flight.. Almost a 10 hour mission.
