It seems that Italian government have decided to send four 6° Stormo Tornadoes to Afghanistan for Recce purposes. It's not clear when they departure will take place, but Italian newspaper said that they is going to leave Italy sooner.

Sorry if this could be a duplicated post, but I didn't found it in the news.
