            Probably. I know a lot of my fellow burgers shit on you guys but I have nothing but respect for the French nation and people. OK maybe a few jabs here and there but I still like the French.

            Sorry goy, you're only allowed to use nuclear weapons against worse goys.

            The supposed “strongest” military in the world just lost a 20 year war to third world dirt farmers. Ukraine is roughly the size of Afghanistan and has been trained and aided by professional militaries for decades and has a far larger and more educated population. The US would lose the war in UKR if they wanted to fight them for whatever reason - maybe to get their money back

            It was a homosexualy nation-building exercise where our soldiers had their hands tied behind their backs (I can give you a few stories from some guys I know who were there). Now, Herr Vatnik, compare that to the conventional war being waged in the Ukraine.

            In reality going by numbers makes it seem a lot closer than it actually is ironically, everything in the Korean war chest is light years better than anything in France arsenal, also the two nations train for completely different missions, South Korea trains for a full combined arms war to include nukes with NK and even China and Russia whereas France literally avoids anything even remotely peer level conflicts and only targets third world banana republics, France has never been good at full warfare and they recognize this in their doctrine

        I'd like to pint out that you seem to be conflating "can produce" with "does produce." The UK can (and does) produce a great amount of their military hardware but you are right in identifying that they also purchase some as well...that just isn't necessarily a drawback are incredibly unlikely to be your enemeies or refuse trade with you.

          Yes, but on their catalog, I can't see a single airplane that is exclusively designed and build by Britain
          >>We almost exclusively rely on our own production
          >Check again
          Apart from the unavoidable hardware from the US that we're using (AWACS and drones), we're almost totally self-sufficient, and yes, I disregard the very few amounts of airframes bought from other countries since they can be easily replaced by our own production (trainers and small transport aircraft)
          >The UK can (and does) produce a great amount of their military hardware
          I'll stick to aviation, I am the first one to agree that Britain have the ability to do so, in the past, they used to have a lot of glorious companies : De Haviland, Handley Page, Hawker-Siddeley, Vickers
          All these companies are done or regrouped under the umbrella of BAE.
          On the other hand, we still have Dassault Aviation, which is French at 100% and autonomous to design jets (either civilian or military), we have Airbus too

    Japan operates a sizable fleet of F35, which is the superior fighter, and has a more effective navy for their goals as well as having multiple F-35 capable ships even if they aren't a true carrier. I would put them as the 2nd power based solely on that, especially since their military goals don't call for the dickwaving power projection of a true carrier while the CDG spends almost as much time in port as it does at sea despite France's attempts to LARP as a global power.

        Korea is still technically at war with Best Korea as well which is why they have conscription periods for all young males for a fairly long time which drives up the numbers, but primarily yes. One should also note that being a conscript in the RoK doesn't mean that you'll be doing actual soldiering past basic training, though, and can instead end up in a more civil service position somewhere the police might be used in the US as a guard.

        It as an outdated tactic and it failed accordingly.
        It was a bad decision by a couple of leaders.
        I don't think it reflects on the fighting Frenchman at all not do I think it relates to the current state of the French military.
        So I am agreeing, the French have a strong military.

        As Americans we are too quick to make fun of France for falling so quickly during WW2. I'm saying I don't think that's a fair reflection on the entire story.

          Seriously, I want France to have a decent military but the reality is that every male inside of France that could potentially be effective is a non-native with no loyalties to France and the natives are softer than charmins toilet paper, France could have all the weapons they want, they are just a really really really soft lot of people, simply not designed for combat

            I disagree that your average Frenchman is softer on average than most other first worlders, but you have a point. What do you think has made us so soft? The "all the real men died in WWII" argument rings hollow, as you can still see it in America (especially here, we're a lot more cucked than most of us would like to admit) and other countries that were relatively unscathed.

          That's because you think its purpose was to hold any invasion at bay.
          It wasn't.
          Its purpose was to be able to hold a large section of the front with 10 times less soldiers that would be necessary otherwise, and buying time for mobilization.
          Manpower was identified as the number 1 weakness of France vs Germany at this period.
          In that purpose, it fulfilled its duty.

    Attack helicopters:

    France: 67 Eurocopter Tigers

    Troops:
    SK: 420,000 active duty
    France: 118,600 active duty

    In all seriousness SK could probably beat France x 5, this does not even factor that SK troops are better trained and maintain wartime readiness constantly (a real war scenario not some expedition against a dirt poor african nation), France would need a 2:1 manpower and equipment advantage to achieve parity with South Korea, as they are today South Korea would steamroll France as easy as France mogs african banana republics

        1 K2 takes out 3 or 3 Leopard 2a7s or M1a2sep3s, against the Leclerc its not even a contest

        This has been war gamed ad naseum by the MIC sector, but as a data point, the K2 has a 10km range with better targeting, compared to the 3km range of the Leopard or M1, the K2 could literally kill multiple Leopards or M1s before they even knew they were being attacked let alone trying to target the K2, there's a reason why the K2 is significantly more expensive particularly compared to the M1a2sep3

      Korea is a Nation that was so utterly fricked its entire history the collective "FRICK THAT'S ENOUGH" that happened when they first stated growing a soul had enough fuel and strength that it may just have made them into humans. Once the thesis-antithesis cycles run its course and the Republic of New Joseon rises again, they may actually have a shot at greatness.
