the FJ one where they have long range and quick legs and so do not need to be so close.
How fragile is the "long range" of the Jets operating from Italy considering they are entirely reliant on a tanker force that is stretched to say the least? As the French are demonstrating on a daily basis, Jets from a carrier based 20 mins flying time away are a powerful piece of the overall capability.
