This unique Puma "Orchidée" (Tactical airborne Radar) was used in operational conditions during Gulf war 1 in 1991. It performed 28 war missions sucessfully over Iraq for the benefit of French Army division "Daguet" but also for US Army units which didn't have at this time a tactical equivalent vector.
