France recently announced that it had successfully tested a new type of strategic missile, breaking through the limitations of its penetration capability. Although the missile's range is not too far, considering that the main adversary is Russia, France emphasizes breaking through the opponent's defenses. Such strategic missiles are mainly deployed in the Atlantic or Arctic directions and are sufficient to pose a threat to Russia.
Once launched, the penetration of the missile will greatly increase the difficulty of interception by the opponent. In addition, France is taking into account the possibility of laser** in the future. Due to the fact that the warhead of such a missile rotates at high speed, it is difficult for the laser ** to concentrate high heat to destroy it. Therefore, France emphasizes the reliability of missiles and the ability to penetrate defenses to ensure the reliability of nuclear **.
In addition, France has also upgraded its attack nuclear submarines, replacing the 3,000-ton Ruby-class nuclear submarine with a more than 5,000-ton Barracuda-class attack nuclear submarine to meet the needs of long-distance voyages and carrying more advanced equipment, and enhance the development of the overall underwater nuclear force.
This puts France on a par with the United States and Britain in terms of the arms market and military operations.
