English term or phrase: "Air support's on standby"
Bonjour,
Sauriez-vous comment traduire cette phrase. Le contexte : lors d'une opération militaire destinée à sauver un soldat retenu prisonnier par des talibans, un groupe d'intervention prend position autour de l'endroit où est prisonnier leur collègue et échange un certain nombre d'infos militaires, dont celle -ci : "Air support's on stand-by". Comment traduire cela ? D'avance merci.
