I think it is no more used. Another far more modern and big, the Centaure, is now on duty https://www.ladepeche.fr/2023/07/01/mort-de-nahel-monstre-de-145-tonnes-pour-62-metres-de-long-quest-ce-que-le-centaure-le-vehicule-blinde-de-la-gendarmerie-deploye-lors-des-emeutes-11314210.php

The crews of the SLBM are in quarantaine 15 days before departure, so as to be sure they are not afected...

Not really. The penalty are : It cost more to built, to use and to scratch. you can't stay in some harbours. The break for overhaul is longer. It need far more skilled technicians than classical engine. But it's true than once used, it will be difficult to move back !

The nuclear propulsion is not without problems. All depends of the use. In the Indian case, the range needed (indian ocean "only") don't imply absolutely a nuclear propulsion.

2 carriers.... If we have the money for one it will be nice.

As Marcel Dassault said : the price of a fighter is direclty linked with its weight. See Rafale : far lighter than F15 and nearly as potent. The Mirage 4000 was a marvellous plane, but too costly for France. It will be the same for me.

but with far less range. France send its carrier all around the world. It not the same thing to refuel escort only than to refuel escort + main carrier ! and a tanker is a very fragile target... India, as far as I know, need mainly a carrier for Indian ocean ride. Not the same exigence. So...

70.000 tons carrier is studied for 30T fighters. It's a maximum, and I have a doubt that next gen germano french fighter will be so heavy.... Don't forget there is a communication war in europe between Tempest and FCAS. So I think that all the mock up, datas, spec.... about FCAS are to be...

Sympa. Je n'avais pas accès à l'article de M&M car pas abonné.

:crazy:. :hail:

As seen so many time with you, those who speak so easily about some subjects are the ones who know nothing. Stop speaking about the French and France. You don't understand anything. STOP YOUR PITIFUL FRENCH BASHING.

The answer of the west european country may be : 1) at short term the 140mm gun on actual MBT (already developped). 2) a new Germano French MBT for 2035/40 What are the special features of T14? The crew is in a very armored hull, so difficult to knock out, but the rest of the tanks (engine...

Sure. But the actual battlefield order is filled to the probable low intensity conflicts, with emphasis on special forces, light to medium vehicules, air support... A huge conflicts against russia is highly unlikely, because the two sides are nuclear equipped, and because russia has a huge...

Not really. Our MBT Leclerc was made to fight 1 vs 10 against Warsaw pact tanks. With the collapse of USSR, the number fall from an intended 1500 to nearly 400. Now 300 and in a next future 200+. But 200 world top class, able to fight against more numerous ennemy thanks to a very effective...

A replacement for AMX 10 RC : a reco vehicule, with a 40mm gun and 2 anti tank missile.
