新华社巴黎1月27日电(记者乔本孝)法军参谋部27日在社交媒体发布消息称,法国“戴高乐”号航空母舰打击群当天从法国土伦港出发,赴大西洋参加法军“猎户座26”大型军事演习。

该消息说,部分盟国军队舰船也编入本次“戴高乐”号航母打击群,以体现联盟协同作战能力。但消息没有提及演习具体方位。

法国媒体援引知情人士报道,演习将在北大西洋举行。报道提及,近期,因美国为得到格陵兰岛而与欧洲陷入争端等原因,北大西洋成为“敏感区域”。

据报道,“猎户座26”军演定于2月8日至4月30日进行,参演兵力约1.25万人,将投入“戴高乐”号航母等25艘舰船、140架飞机和直升机、1200台无人机以及相关网络空间和太空作战资源等。20多个国家将参与演习。

另据法媒报道,法国总统马克龙当地时间28日将在巴黎会晤丹麦和格陵兰岛自治政府领导人。
