  1. Berlin setzt Kriegsschiff, Flugzeuge und Drohnen gegen IS in Syrien ein...

    Die Bundeswehr soll neben „Tornado“-Aufklärungsjets auch ein Kriegsschiff, mindestens ein Tankflugzeug und Satellitenaufklärung für den Kampf gegen die Terrormiliz Islamischer Staat in Syrien bereitstellen. Das beschlossen Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel und die zuständigen Minister am Donnerstag, wie die Deutsche Presse-Agentur aus Berlin meldete.

    Die Fregatte soll voraussichtlich den Flugzeugträger „Charles de Gaulle“ absichern, den die Franzosen ins östliche Mittelmeer geschickt haben. Die Tankflugzeuge können Kampfjets der Anti-IS-Koalition in der Luft betanken. Zudem sollen vier bis sechs Aufklärungs-„Tornados“ zum Einsatz kommen, hieß es.
