Can someone translate or post a link to the weapon system?
It's Storm Shadow. I think the only other currently in use long range missiles would be all nuclear based.
And that would be a bad thing why exactly? :P
Are you seriously asking why a global nuclear war would be a bad thing?
You mean nuking a country that literally is a cleptocracy and hasnt payed the billions of dollars of upkeep its nukes would need to stay in working condition? Or do you think europe and the us is gonna nuke itself?
I'm just going to block idiots from now on. Clearly too much of Reddit moved here already.
That was a clever argument. Also have you considered the possiblity that you might be a wimp that is ruled by irrational fear instead of basic logical considerations? Nah?
There’s no indication about the weapons other than long-range in the video.
Macron just said he would increase military aid and deliver long-range weapons to help Ukraine defend its territory.
This announcements irritates me. Didn't France announce it right after the UK announced it, months ago?
I remember after the first reported Storm Shadow hits and discovered wreck pieces, everyone was eager to see if there are English or French markings on them.
What’s your point?
Well did they announce it months back or not? Did they deliver or not?
Announcing it now makes it look like they did not deliver or follow through months ago, which is why I am asking here for more information. This announcement is a bit irritating.
Macron said
J’ai pris la décision d’accroître les livraisons d’aides et d’équipements militaires et (…) de permettre d’accroître les capacités de frappe dans la profondeur
Translation:
I have taken the decision to increase deliveries of military aids and equipment and (...) to increase deep strike capabilities.
What was said to be delivered has been delivered. What is coming is more weapons, some with long-range capabilities.
