reposez en paix ennemis de la france
The boots have always been willing to fight….the officers and Government are the weak link.
70kph…or 35mph?? My bike cycle can go faster….down hill.
Strongest Military Power in Europe.
270 000 ? non , 300 000 !! ne pas confondre SNLE , sous marin nucléaire lanceur de missile nucléaire M51 et SNA , sous marin nucléaire d'attaque , qui sont des chasseurs de sous marins et de navires en surface , capable aussi de frapper à terre avec des missiles MdCN ! le Charles de Gaulle a bien plus de 1200 marins à son bord , entre 1800 et 2000 hommes d'équipage ! la France devrait passer derrière la chine en terme de puissance nucléaire , soit la 4eme place dans le monde , le classement de la France est ridicule à la 7eme place , mais , le Japon et la Corée du sud placés devant la France n'ont pas d'armement nucléaire , l'Inde a moins d'armement nucléaire que la France , et ces 3 pays n'ont en aucuns cas le même niveau en terme de combat , la France a participé en permanence à des conflits dans le monde , on a ce que l'on appelle des retours d'OPEX ( OPérations EXtérieures ) que ni l'Inde , ni le Japon et ni la Corée du sud ne possède ! ceux qui font les classements confondent quantité et qualité ! on voit que les soldats de la corée du nord envoyés en Ukraine n'ont la moindre connaissances en combat , ils ne savent pas combattre , tout comme beaucoup d'autres pays dans le monde qui n'ont l'habitude du combat ! 1) USA 2) CHINE 3) RUSSIE ( seulement pour son nombre de missile nucléaire , et encore combien sont en état de décoller ?????? ) 4) FRANCE 5) UK 6) JAPON ( pour son énorme marine ) 7) INDE ( pour la quantité de personnel , de matériel et sa petite quantité d'armement nucléaire ) 7) COREE DU SUD 8) UKRAINE 9) ISRAEL 10) POLOGNE 11) ALLEMAGNE
We have a very good army with very qualified soldiers and excellent hardware.
But it is way too small. In a high intensity war we would only be able to fight with a single division.
And the ammo stocks are way too limited.
The Ukraine war has making us understand that, and we have decided to rearm and to increase the manpower but it will take years and there are a lot of budget difficulties.
Australia should abandon AUKUS and ask the French for the proven Suffren nuclear submarine. They are already somewhere unknown in the Pacific, probably about to participate in Australia's Talismen Sabre Military Exercise.
Yep but no more money because bad politicians totally "americanized" with the Neo-Cons's French American Fondation, the UE ERROR and IDIOCRACY!
your maths ain't mathing, 50 billions euros budget means 50 billions baguettes, not 2 😊
Une des plus anciennes armées du monde ❤️🇨🇵🍷🥖🫡
FELIN was actually more a flop
The weapon is made too heavy with the scope and the batteries adds significant weight on top of the regular gear, soldier left a quite negative return on experience leading to the program to be canned and send back to the drawing board
Thank you for tour vidéo! Proud to be french !
We still left for the Mediterranean with insufficient ammunition and with fake model weapons lol
