Today we’ve tracked from Istres AB to Strait of Sicily a French Air Force Boeing C-135FR (738). The aircraft followed the usual route used by French tanker in flight to Libya.

After this position the aircraft disappeared from all tracking sites.

We can, however, suppose that the aircraft is making an aerial refueling mission supporting French aircraft in the area off Tripoli.

UPDATE

The mission is finished aorund 2PM CET, the C-135FR is back to France
