Publisher Description
Since March 19, 2011 Canada has taken a lead role in the NATO enforcement of the UN-authorized no-fly zone in the sides over wartorn Libya. Canadian Lieutenant-General Charles Bouchard commands the allied air operations, and seven Canadian CF-18s are committed to the bombing campaign aimed at downgrading the battle readiness of Moammar Gadhafi's government forces. By the end of July, after four and a half months of air interdiction, NATO planes had flown more than 20,000 sorties over Libya and conducted more than 7,000 bomb attacks against Gadhafi-held sectors. Despite the massive support from inter tidal air forces, to date the Libyan rebels had made only minor advances against the Gadhafi loyalist forces.
