Operation Tamouré: the only time a French Air Force Mirage IV strategic bomber dropped a live nuclear bomb...
Operation Tamouré began in May 1966 with a long flight from mainland France to French Polynesia. The name of the mission was inspired by a Polynesian folk dance. The decision to conduct a full-scale nuclear test at the Pacific test centre was made on Oct. 30, 1964 at a defence council formally presided over by Charles de Gaulle at the Elysée Palace.
