This  video shows a French Foreign Legion (2e régiment étranger de parachutistes – 2eREP) paradrop into Timbuktu, Mali, from a C-160 Transal airlifter of the French Air Force.

It was taken on Jan. 28, from the Infra-Red camera of a Harfang UAS, supporting Operation Serval from Niger.

The Harfangs are the only French UAS reportedly operating in West Africa. These ISR (Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance) platforms are about to be supported by a RAF Sentinel R1 deployed in Senegal.
