Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] The French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle and its strike group have been redirected from the Baltic Sea to the Middle East. This was reported on March 1 by BFMTV.

It is noted that France's sole aircraft carrier had previously participated in NATO exercises in the Baltic Sea. Due to the escalating situation in the Middle East, the carrier was forced to abort the mission and redirected closer to Iran.

At the end of February, the French Army aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle was deployed to NATO exercises. The ship was moored in the Swedish port of Malmö.
