This thread is for the new High Command (or grand operations command in the French air force's parlance) for Space Operations of the Armée de l'Air Française that President Macron has just announced. A Space Force in other words. Apparently Macron intends to eventually rename the air force as...

In the late 1980s, research started on the new next-generation tank gun. It was quickly determined that it needed to be 140mm calibre. Initially it was to fire the same projectiles as the 120mm gun but at a higher velocity from a similar smoothbore barrel. My question - what was the British...

Hi, As this project (for the replacement of the French Rafale and the German Eurofighter) is different of the Airbus project to replace the German Tornado and the Spanish F-18, I open a new topic :) Well, as the time to replace Rafale and EF is not for tomorrow, this topic may last for...

Where can I find information about French night vision devices directly after WW II ? When and where such devices were used in the post WWII French armed forces ? From what I've found, most of the early ones used the activ system, so needing an IR light source. But the German Luftwaffe had used...

I am utterly confused about the original French plans for the deployment of this missile, the wiki page for the Suffren class destroyers states that six ships were originally planned and that this became two batches of three (the second tentative?) then just two ships when the money for the...
