Among the five permanent members of the United Nations, France's sense of presence is really the lowest, and even "daily insults to the law" has become a popular word on the Internet, and even the French Navy has become a "unit of measurement", such as: How many French navies [cover their faces] in the total tonnage of China's sea ** boats launched this year. Of course, the situation that France is currently facing has to do with its own national policy and the general trend of development in the world today.
Although today's France is far less glorious than it was in the days of Napoleon, the "Gallic Rooster" has its own merits. We can despise the enemy tactically, but we must value the enemy strategically. Compared with Britain's direct equipping with the U.S. "Trident" ballistic missiles (although the warhead is self-developed, it has a rather "recognizance" flavor), France has a certain degree of autonomy and has developed its own "M" series of submarine-launched ballistic missiles, the latest model of which is the "M-51", which is equipped on the "Triumph-class" strategic nuclear submarine.
The M-51 SLBM is produced by the Ariane Group and is designed to replace the M45 SLBM, which was first deployed in 2010. The missile is planned to be developed at about 4 billion euros, and the French Navy is the only user of this missile.
The M-51 "submarine-launched ICBM can carry 6-10 sub-warheads, uses ** solid fuel, has a combat range of 8000-10000km, a speed of Mach 25, and the guidance system is missile guidance, and it is planned to install Galileo satellite positioning.
If you have a sharp weapon, then you need a platform to carry it, and the "Triumph-class" nuclear submarine takes on such a role. The "Triumph-class" strategic nuclear submarine is the French Navy's current ballistic missile nuclear submarine, a total of four, commissioned in 2010, replacing the original six Dreadnought-class nuclear submarines and becoming part of the French strategic nuclear deterrent.
The "Triumph-class" nuclear submarine has a submarine displacement of more than 14,000 tons, uses a K15 pressurized water reactor, has a diving speed of 25 knots, and a diving depth of 400 meters. The four ships in active service are the Triumph, the Bold, the Vigilance, and the Fierce.
The perfect combination of the M-51 submarine-launched ICBM and the Triumph-class strategic nuclear submarine has formed a complete sea-based strategic nuclear deterrent force and effectively defended the integrity of national sovereignty! This is also France's solid card to stabilize the P5 throne in today's turbulent world pattern!
