Franța dezvăluie în premieră informații despre „Operațiunea Poker”: simularea unor atacuri nucleare aeriene, pentru descurajarea Rusiei

The French Air Force is adapting its nuclear strategies by learning from conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, conducting exercises to enhance deterrence capabilities. General Stéphane Virem emphasized the need for modernization in response to evolving threats, including advanced air defense systems. France plans to increase its nuclear warheads and expand its nuclear umbrella over Europe, while maintaining ambiguity about the threshold for nuclear weapon use. The upcoming presidential elections may influence defense policies, particularly with Marine Le Pen advocating for European nations to invest in French military equipment. Recent tests of a new ballistic missile have drawn criticism from Russia, highlighting tensions in European security dynamics.
