Nancy, France:
The French military has released a video of its personnel preparing for the no-fly zone operations.
French Mirage fighter jets took off from an airbase in Corsica, while Super Etendard and Hawkeye fighter jets launched their missions from the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, off the Libyan coast.
Allied forces launched United Nations-authorised international military action last Saturday to ensure a no-fly zone over Libya as well as to prevent all kind of attacks on civilians by forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi.
Britain's Royal Air Force jet fighters, that are participating in operations, were seen being refuelled in midair as they flew in the skies over Cyprus on Wednesday.
Apart from US, Britain and France, countries like United Arab Emirates and Qatar have joined the mission to provide round-the-clock coverage over the Libyan skies stretching 1.8 million square kilometers.
