Gabriel Attal visited the Mont-Verdun air base, near Lyon, where soldiers monitor French airspace. A strategic location, because it is here that airspace security operations will largely be piloted during the Olympics.
In all, 2,400 aviators are mobilized for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games and a 150km airspace around Paris will be entirely closed and monitored for the occasion, partly from Lyon. The Prime Minister was briefed on this subject and was presented with a jamming rifle used in the fight against drones.
