Talk is cheap, let's hope he doesn't spend the money though.
You do realize the French already have nuclear weapons right?
Not quite. Thanks for the correction.
I guess they'd need more of them though and try to get other EU members to spend money..? So it's an industry politics angle?
I don't see why France would need more, considering they have 290 nuclear bombs, and are fourth after the US, Russia, and China.
I was actually surprised, but France even has 4 ballistic missile subs, and is planning to get more. TBH that's what we need as a deterrent, a credible second strike tool.
More integration wouldn't hurt though, maybe make the SNLE program a multinational program like the FCAS or this new tank is.
