French Military in Crisis: Defense Minister Demands a ‘Bigger Format’ for Armed Forces!
French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu has openly admitted that the current model of the French military is “unacceptable” and calls for a complete transformation. In an interview with the weekly “Tribun Dimanscaron,” Lecornu warned that the French military industry is falling behind and that new investments are urgently needed in advanced technologies such as space research, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, stealth systems, and hypersonic technology development.
Falling Behind in the Arms Race
Lecornu compared the current situation to the 1960s when France chose nuclear energy as its national model. Now, he says, it’s time for a new, bigger format of the armed forces that embraces cutting-edge innovations and technologies.
Can France Keep Up?
The minister stressed that without these investments, the French military will not be able to maintain its security and status. In a world where technology evolves at lightning speed, standing still means falling behind. Urgent reform and modernization are needed.
What Does This Mean for France?
As one of Europe’s leading military powers, France must invest in new technologies and modernization to retain its influence and security. This is not just a military issue but an economic one, as the defense industry employs thousands and drives innovation.
Conclusion: Time for Action or Decline!
Sébastien Lecornu sent a clear message: France must embark on a major military reform and technological leap or risk being left in the dust. Will politicians and industry have the courage to follow this call? Or will we watch a once-mighty army fade away before our eyes?
