I totaly agree with you. In 2003 France refused to follow US and attack in Iraq. US claimed at that time that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction which was not true and France knew it. As a result, the United States decided to stop selling American components needed for certain French weapons. For example spare parts for the aircraft catapult of the French aircraft carrier. The consequence for France was the impossibility to have an aircraft carrier operational. This is why France don't want to rely on american components.This is also why many countries prefer to buy French weapons rather than American ones because we do not impose these kinds of sanctions. And most of our weapons are fully developed and produced by France with french components when it is a strategic components. At least not with american component for strategic components.

Mais le problème remonte encore plus loin que ça avec des groupes armés neo nazi pro Europe qui ont facilité le coup d'état en étant sponsorisé par les états unis.

C'est pour ça que le démantèlement de l'armée a été une connerie sans nom. Trop de gens pense que la paix est éternelle. On supprime plein de poste exécutifs : policiers, militaires, professeurs, soignants, etc ... Mais on crée plein de ministères, de cabinets inutiles pour caser les copains. Quand il faut se serrer la ceinture, tout de suite ça va être de taper sur les contribuables, les vieux et le service public au lieu de supprimer les cabinets, ministères et commissions inutiles, arrêter les chantiers stupides qu'on ne mènera pas à bout. J'entendais, en début d'année que la Manufacture d'Armes de St Etienne avait des problèmes. Sans aller jusqu'à la nationalisation, certaines industries et sociétés doivent rester sous contrôle de l'état. Pour leur survie, parce que toutes ne sont pas rentables, mais nécessaires stratégiquement et politiquement.

Et il faut ajouter à ça les éléments bien moins technologiques et bien plus basiques : nourriture (donc agriculture), vêtements (donc industrie textile), fusil mitrailleur et munitions (ce qui n'est plus le cas aujourd'hui). Parce que sans ça, tu tiens pas une semaine. Tu peux avoir les plus beaux avions modernes du monde, si tes pilotes sont affamés et en slip, tu n'en feras rien. Enfin reste le problème central : l'énergie. Si la France à opté judicieusement pour le nucléaire pour le civil afin de ne pas dépendre des autres, elle reste un pays (comme quasiment toute l'Europe) sans ressources fossiles. C'est comme ça. A part un peu de charbon, et quelques gisements quasi-épuisés en mer du Nord, le continent européen ne possède aucune matières premières énergétiques. Dans ces conditions, enfermer la France dans le "club" des pays européens à la démographie vieillissante, sans aucune matière première, à la remorque des USA, tout en se brouillant de plus en plus avec ceux qui en possèdent et qui émergent... c'est une erreur stratégique fondamentale. Parce que la seule solution à terme si on continue avec faire la morale à certains pays du monde qui ne supportent plus l'Occident, ça sera soit de s'éffondrer, soit d'aller s'approprier ces ressources par la force et par des guerres de rapine, néo-coloniales. Ou alors inventer une nouvelle technologie qui fonctionne bien sans dépendre de ressources fossiles. Mais on semble en être très loin.

I am French and I want to thank you for what you are saying about my country and for having understood what was De Gaulle’s thinking. As Americans, you must know that the US government has always hated De Gaulle and try to prevent us from becoming a military and nuclear power. Also, why do other European countries buy US stuff instead of French whereas we are all in the European Union ? Just because EU is just the organization that make European countries pupets of the US. De Gaulle has always struggled against this form of soft domination, and May 68 crisis was highly manipulated by the US. France politics are still a lot dependent on this conflict, between « Atlantists » and « Nationalists ».

In France, politicians often talk about "national sovereignty" as a fundamental principle for this country. For them and for the French people, it means being independent in all strategic aspects, with a strong military, self-sufficient energy production, major international industries such as Total or LVMH, and even its own space centre... It's a guarantee that the country will remain strongly independent even in difficult times. And if it can make cash with it's own expertises that's a win-win 😉

let´s put it that way, France and US are close Allies, but US has its own interests which are different from the french ones. France did not give away its defence to the US like germany did for example. France is able to intervene for the defense of its interest everywhere in the world when necessary. and it happened several times in Africa over the last decades. Also France has been able to tell the US that it would not follow in IRAQ in 2001, because the reasons put up by the US were proper lies and everybody knew it. A combat aircraft is a complicated machine, whether it is a US one, a french one, a russian one or a chinese one. there are a few differemces in teh dapabilities and in the operationnal maintining but they are all complicated to fly and require complex logistics to maintain trhe operationnal capability. One of the big strings of US is ITAR, most of the french systems are specifically designed to be ITAR free. on an F-35, some data are completely out of your hands and flow directly to the US, that is nopt acceptable for some countries. One of the big issue of whole europe is the lack of natural ressources, whether it is oil or minerals, that puts europe under a hige pressure that the US, China or Russia do not have. I do not know for India.

The last version of the Rafale, the "F4 Standard" can detect and track any plane with very small signature, that mean, any 5th gen fighter... This was on the top of the list of the roadmap of this version. Its SPECTRA auto defense system uses alternate means to detect and track the stealth planes, like using infrared radars, so basically the stealth shape of the opponent becomes almost useless.

Yeah, US has advanced logistics and big professional military. Big professional military, along with budget is really what allows for using this complex equipment. If you have big army, like conscription army, that rules out some of more complex stuff. Or if you have relatively small professional army, you can't afford to waste tons of resources and manpower for one system since it would actually deplete people that can do combat, or say if you lose those personnel and they have to be replaced, it would take too long. And you don't get benefit of economics of scale. Depends a bit on system ofc, countries are often willing to pour a lot of resources for stuff like main fighter plane. But that has always been the case.

France has always had an interest in having a good relationship with Russia. It’s independent of the U.S policies. The two countries are the two ends of the European continent. One to the west, one to the east. And for centuries, these two countries have always had an interest in joining forces, to counterbalance the power of the "Mitteleuropa" (german word to talk about union of central Europe, generally under German domination). As the French writer Mauriac, a close friend of De Gaulle, said : "I love Germany so much that I prefer that there are two" As De Gaulle recalled : "Every time France has been on a good relationship with Russia, it has been a beautiful period in french history. Every time France has had bad relationship with Russia, it has been a bad period in french history" And this rule is still true today.

i ll take the exemple of the russian tank. Who wants a tank that is ammo is cooking when hit and sent 90% of the time his crew to heaven?. Ukrain war showed that to all the customers of russian s products. I dont say that tank crews in western battle tanks ll survive 100% time when they are hit but the % of survival is to an other level compared to russian. Concerning differences between american mbt and french mbt, one of the most easy to understand is that french mbt have an auto loader. American mbt use a crew member to load ammo. Concerning the french mbt auto loader, it ll not explode like russian tank if ammo is hit, because like american mbt, ammo are stocked in a secured box.

in general, this not a great documentary, the main reason of India decreased in purchasing russian army, is that the russian tank are not operable in high altitude (where a lot of skirmish happened with china). also all the pronunciation of french weapon system are wrong, it take very few effort to check : the Leclerc (the last c is silent), and the Rafale (he pronounced it Rafalé, and again the e at the end is silent), and if you can't find the pronunciation of the only 2 weapon system you repeat over and over, i am very doubtful of the quality of the rest of your research. The original video is not great but it's not bad either, and it's true that in the international weapon market, the most important thing is the geopolitical impact not so much the cost (the quality and most importantly the reliability that matter) To resume the video in a short : the country who bought russian weapon don't want to be under too much US influence , but the french are a more reliable source and of better quality with less diplomatic impact

Hey, to clarify the abrahams perfomance in Ukraine, it's easy to understand. The era of tanks is coming to an end. In the near future engaging non light armored vehicule without air superiority would be consider straight up sacrifice of men and material. Heavy tanks can't keep getting more layers of protection while the variety of weapons available to destroy them is insane, but even if you equip a tank with defense system to intercept rockets, missiles and drones, there's nothing you can do against an accurate artillery shot, and 155mm shell has close to 100% chance of destruction on any tank in the world if it hit. Future of tank reside in smaller vehicule like the bradley, because only mobility can help against artillery, if you ask a tanker from both side in Ukraine, they'd probably told you that staying still for more than 5 minutes straight sounds more terrifying than crossing a minefield.

I know it's commonly accepted to do french bashing in US/Uk (anglosphere) world when it comes about military... The fact is that Leclerc is a very capable tank and the rafale jet is the alone in the world to have done draw with the F22 raptor in red flag exercices (even 1 kill for US, 4 draw and 1 kill for french)... Before the 5th gen era, french Mirage 2000 and F1 had beaten regularly the F16 (sometimes painfully, 4 to 1 or 5 to 1, and french pilots are not that better than US ones, they are flying three times less than US ones)... Stealth advantage of the F22 (and of the F35) has been reduced by the French radar system of Spectra, also, the meteor missile is actually slightly better than his american coutnerpart with a slightly better range and accuracy, since the Spectra system give now a better radar able to detect or to jam the F22 and the F35, the advantage of the stealth is not truly decisive. The limit of the French weapons industry is that France hasn't the diplomatic weight of USA which is putting pressure on EU countries and other common allies to both Fraance and USA... If USA were doing the things fairly, not sure that many western countries would buy US weaponry instead of french ones... Globally French engineers are very capable, but french industry lacks money and diplomatic support by the french gov compared to USA. And honestly, F22 raptor is the best fighter in the world but not by far which means that if the pilot in the rafale or the typhoon is better, he can but the F35 is truly not a success, hundreds (more than a thousand even) of problems on it and it costs far more with less time in the air compared to Rafale and Typhoon.

Y’a une chose qu’il faut pas oublier, c’est que Washington où les Russes ou d’autres pays se considère toujours en guerre. Par conséquence is adapte le budget pour la France et l’euro. Ces dernières années se sont assagi et on pensait que la guerre était loin. Ce fut une erreur. La reconversion vers une armée total,se fera en 10 ans et vu la puissance de l’armée, sa polyvalence, sa technicité, son engagement militaire, sa création produit, ses ambitions maritimes, son commerce, son économie jeunesse. La France n’a pas de problème réel de démographie. Je me fais pas de soucis pour la patrie Le seul problème réel, ce sont tous les gauchistes anti gay Rocky colonial avec leurs politiques et leurs masochismes La France est beaucoup trop régaliennes beaucoup trop dans cette américanisation des esprits. Là où la France va progresser, c’est pas dans l’industrie de la défense très loin. La France a des années d’avances sur plein de pays. C’est sur le social, on a une génération de PLUC 😅

26:21 Too heavy, too difficult to maintain, not fully equipped as in the US army, not fully integrated with air support, too easy to detect and target with drones, the Abrams tank doesn't survive Ukraine very well *as a machine* , but *it does allow its crew to survive explosions and flee before it's too late* , which is *extremely valuable* , because human lives and tanker training cannot be replaced. Russian tanks, on the other hand, which too often explode and burn their crews alive at the first mine or missile, are a nightmare for the Russian army, both in terms of morale and of preserving and passing on the know-how of veterans to new recruits.

Piece of advice, it's better to have the video you are showing full, and you in a corner, than this.. Not everybody has a 35" screen and even so, it is frustrating to waist so much space

Russian weapons are vastly outdated, many of them are weapons from the soviet period, and not necessairly the end of it. Whereas french weapons are really very modern, maybe the most sophisticated and efficient in the world. French weapons, at least some of them, are more efficient than there contrepart from the USA. France can't produce as much as the USA, Russia or China regarding the quantity but the quality of the arms is on top, some are unmatched. And that's a big part of both the exportation growth, countries want weapons they can rely on, and the military autonomy of France.
