Sparking another wave of migrations. Smart.
at least they have Russian femboys fleeing the war to Paris.
If they're the variety that stops slobbing on a schizo child pretadtor then they're perfectly functional members of society so france might be fine. maybe.
They're likely even worse than the said schizo child predator, literally.

We're sharing, right? EU Buddies and all, RIGHT?
we already are sharing through arianespace but it seems that everyone prefer shitting on us than be grateful
German politicians rejected the French offer of creating a joined nuclear force ...
We don't need politicians in order to share
They also successfully tested an hypersonic glider recently.
A what? How the frick does that work?
It's basically a warhead that goes very fast and can kind of steer itself to confuse enemy air defence.
This one kinda ended up being a collaboration with the USA if I remember right. France was stuck on a big issue on some stage, USA brought some top enginneer who fixed it and came back with some really usefull data.
No, the US/French collaboration on the matter is way more global, the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) was embedded in the French test ground of Biscarosse since the first failed test in October 2021.
American firms (Corvid Technologies LLC, Kratos Defense and Rocket Support Services Inc., and Peraton Inc.) also provided the rocket (Terrier-Oriole-Oriole) to launch the glider.
The US has had load of issues with domestic hypersonic missiles development so (we) might as well collaborate.
Are we surprised? The French make the best missiles in Europe. Hell even the bongs bought Apache and just slapped their own warhead on it
Why lie?
https://defense-update.com/20130505_m51-nuclear-missile-fails-on-test-launch-from-a-newly-upgraded-submarine.html
nope
the French mandated the choice of Apache as part of a wider set of workshare agreements
At least our missiles actualy take off, Nigel
we don't know what's the problem, but the missiles come from a shared US/UK stockpile, so the problem may not be a bong-specific thing
Why don't the bongs build their own missiles?

Ok moron. it's not like 2013 was more than a decade ago. Just admit that you failed at the most basic rule of information gathering, you know, the one you learn in middle school.
You seem to have failed reading entirely. Point out where any kind of statute of limitation was mentioned in this thread.

Then what about the failed Atlas A test on the 11th of June, 1957? Checkmate, John Smith from Ohio Oblast.
is Atlas still in service?

or is it really such a blow to your fragile ego that the current French nuclear ICBM has experienced a single launch failure?
I'm not the guy you were replying to, nor am I French. I was just pointing out the absurdity of mentioning failed ICBM tests from ages ago, due to their lack of relevance to current readiness. There's a reason I went with the first ICBM test the US ever did.
>the absurdity of mentioning failed ICBM tests of an in-service weapon due to lack of relevance
It was more than a decade ago, which is a lot of time to iron out any kinks. For example, Patriots were utterly useless at first (Gulf War), and continued to be kinda shit for almost three decades (2019 Saudi Aramco attacks), but those failures led to improvements and now they're shooting down Kinzhals.
Sure
I didn't say they're "useless"
I was correcting OP's assertion, that's all
>shooting down Kinzhals
That's not a thing to brag about, Kinzhals aren't remotely hard to intercept
can you walk was through the patriot upgrades that made it possible
>That's not a thing to brag about, Kinzhals aren't remotely hard to intercept
In absolute terms, sure. However, compared to the durka drones used in the 2019 attacks on Saudi Aramco refineries, which the Patriot failed to hit, they are quite hard to intercept.
you missed one
>chinese missles: filled with water
>American Minuteman III test = failure
Uhhhh no I literally watched them test it, that shit was cool.

Kinda weird France has no hypersonic plane/spaceplane startup. Not even through Arianespace. They surely have the know-how.
I know of two hypersonic startups in Europe and one is Swiss and the other is German.
there is a little known startup called Airbus
Yea but it’s mainly British
ah yes the famous british company that built the exocet missiles
Let's be fair, the only thing more cliched than the French selling the missiles that sunk British ships would be the British selling the missiles that ended up sinking their own ships.
I don't think they have a hypersonic plane in the works though?

>Frenchies were the dominant military force in Europe for more than 1500 years.
These people are genetically bred to wage war. It is in their blood like eating babies is in a pitbull's blood.
85% of the military words we use in English come from the French language. Every modern army today can trace its foundation back to France
They buck broke the largest empire the world had ever seen, for fun.
They kicked the Musselmen out of *another country*, for fun.
They went and sacked most of the Levant FOUR TIMES, for fun.
They invented knights in armor, castles, jousting, swordplay, cavalry, the bayonet charge and mobile artillery.
They are so bloodthirsty that after losing their country and army through treachery they ended a 4 year war with an army half a million men strong.
Their saving grace is that they really don't like leaving home, so they will generally only stomp a mudhole in you when you are actually in France or thereabouts
So yeah no shit their missiles work.
They also have the most based nuclear doctrine. Gotta love the ASMP, there's nothing like firing a nuclear cruise missile to show you mean business.
>you shoot down any incoming cruise missiles
>you were supposed to notice it was a ASMP
This. Spaniards thought Frenchmen were the most militaristic, bloodthirsty violent c**ts throughout the Middle Ages. Italian men famously hated Frenchmen because the only thing necessary to raise an army was to say "there will be Italian women there".
Beside that, France was set up to win from the start. Geographically, if you were to design the perfect country, it would end up looking pretty much like France.
nation states didn't exists till 200 years ago
And yet, France was the first.
No..?
>[A]ccording to the historian Eric Hobsbawm, "the French language has been essential to the concept of 'France', although in 1789 50% of the French people did not speak it at all, and only 12 to 13% spoke it 'fairly' – in fact, even in oïl language zones, out of a central region, it was not usually spoken except in cities, and, even there, not always in the faubourgs [approximatively translatable to "suburbs"]. In the North as in the South of France, almost nobody spoke French."[31] Hobsbawm highlighted the role of conscription, invented by Napoleon, and of the 1880s public instruction laws, which allowed to mix the various groups of France into a nationalist mold, which created the French citizen and his consciousness of membership to a common nation, and the various "patois" were progressively eradicated.
The frick is that even trying to argue?
French culture has been pretty artificial and forced
Kek, imagine this level of coping.
France started as a collection of people who would otherwise murder each other grouping up to defeat neighboring threats. It emerged from doing so twice, and then every time it went to war with other people it reinforced its cultural identity.
let's pledge your allegiance to the "King of France" while living not in the domaine royal. easy way to get executed.

What the frick are you talking about dude?
Even the dukes of Burgundy, the very image of rebelious French nobles, regarded themselves first and foremost as French princes of the blood. And when Charles the Bold stopped doing so and wanted to carve out a state of his own from the various feudal territories that owed him allegiance like half his court defected to the king of France because "the king of France is our natural liege"
Thats literally every other nation on the planet the frick is your point?
>Thats literally every other nation on the planet the frick is your point?
Not really, many Nations were defined from being the bottom b***h of history. Like Korea, for example.
That...doesnt change that what you said doesnt make France special
I'm not saying its unique in that way. France was never "united", as
very well shows, but it was well enough insulated from its neighbors, had enormous land with a large but not overly large population, and past the ~500 one of the best climate you could get in Europe.
>best climate you could get in Europe
>Europe
Romans got their food from Egypt, not Gaul
Missed the "past ~500" past, did you?
France was still coming out of a mini Ice-Age when Rome was at its height, its climate was only starting to become hospitable.

Don't even get me started on the nature of the Normans, how fricking embarrassing it is for the Fr*nch to try to claim them. You'll make me review the 1050s French military defeats against "their" "Goowallamie le Conquerant!" (Who would have called himself Wilhelm or Wilem) "vassal".

ZEN FIRE ZE MISSILES
I've always known somehow that when WW3 actually happens and the first nuke is fired, that it will be the French. No nation on earth has ever held their deeply ingrained hatred of themselves and all humanity, yes Russia obviously but Russia is also a nation of drunken morons who forget where they left the keys and steal the money that was meant to change the oil in the missile. The French nuclear weapon irradiates the earth it strikes and leaves is victims dead of in agony and facing certain death but it also creates absolutely terrible films that bore people to death and gives them eyeball aids
what about all those non-NPT nuclear-weapon states, especially the Muslim one?
>what about all those non-NPT nuclear-weapon states, especially the Muslim one?
They will quite obviously blow themselves up to win, as is their tradition
>what about all those non-NPT nuclear-weapon states, especially the Muslim one?

Russian or more correctly Soviet soldier is the one person who stood between total war anhiliation and peace we have today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Arkhipov
Honestly if it was to happen, you gotta look towards a smaller nuclear arsenal state that would use it. They are most likely to have some moron in charge as their pool of most qualified and well suited people is much less.
you are right

The US Military tested a new improved Minuteman 3. It failed to do what was wanted, but no real information known. IMO, the USAF was testing something for the new LGM-35 Sentinel project.
As far as the Trident 2: 177 successful tests and only 10 failures. The bongoloides seem to have the most problems with those. The last US test was successful. Bongs are known for being cheap and cutting corners. Nothing is realy known about the failure.
BTW the French threw a fit about AUKUS, liying and slandering the USA. However, a few weeks later the French scumbags cried that they wanted the USA's sub technology.
French can eat shit, and continue to refuel their le subs ever 5 to 7 years, like le morons.
French technology is mostly stolen from the USA or gotten through euroscum technology sharing programs with the USA.
France makes good missiles and pretty fighters. They’re probably making bank selling weapons now that everyone knows not to buy Russian.
