WATCH: France's Combat Helicopters In Action

Ever wondered what the French military gets up to on a day-to-day basis? Well, look no further.
 
The country's Ministry of Defence has released an impressive video showing its combat helicopters in action.
 
As part of the the French Army Light Aviation service, the aircraft provide close air support for French troops, with duties ranging from assault, observation, and reconnaissance to supply.
 
 
They've been in action in theatres of war in countries like Afghanistan, Libya and Mali in recent years.
 
And whether facing heavily armed enemies or conducting night offensives from the sea, their objective remains the same: to gain ground supremacy.
