Which operation involved RAF support for Afghan operations using Puma and Chinook?

• A. Op Shader - anti ISIS Al udeid air base raf akrotiri eurofighter, Sentinel, Sentry, Mq9a
• B. Icelandic air policing typhoons
• C. Op Toral - Afghan operations supporting ANA Puma and Chinook
• D. Op newcombe - support of French anti insurgency in mali chinook

Answer: (C)

The idea is to connect RAF air support with Afghan operations and the aircraft involved. Operation Toral was the UK’s contribution in Afghanistan focused on training and assisting the Afghan National Army as part of the international effort. In this role, the RAF provided air mobility and lift using Puma and Chinook helicopters to support Afghan operations and the advisers working with them. This combination—Afghanistan-focused support and the use of Puma and Chinook—fits Toral precisely.

The other options refer to different theaters or roles (Shader with anti-ISIS deployments featuring assets like Eurofighter Typhoon and ISR aircraft; Icelandic air policing with Typhoons; Newcombe in Mali with French forces), none of which involve Afghan operations or use of Puma/Chinook in that context.
