  1. Does anybody have any idea what that aircraft carrier threw into the water while launching the plane at 18:07 and is that something routine? If you're watching for the splash it's thrown ahead of the aircraft carrier.

  2. This is good against opponents that have limited air assets, but as we seen in recent conflicts, surface ships are very vulnerable to swarm missile attacks, drones, and boat drones. If the French faced a determined enemy, a few hundred drones can put this ship out of service and it only has one.

  3. Impressive. I had no idea any country apart from the U.S. had such capabilities.

    However, in typical fashion, they have hamstrung themselves by failing to provide redundancy.

    Maintaining their “savoir faire” is great in principle, but almost meaningless in practice, since they will be unable to project air power during refits.

  4. En efecto, el portaviones frances CdG es el mas poderoso que tiene Europa. El unico con sistemas de catapulta y energia nuclear, fabricado en Francia. Los aviones principales son los Rafale. No es un "pequeño portaviones". De hecho, el CdG es lo suficiente grande para trabajos en equipo con portaviones de los EUA. Puede operar como base alterna recibiendo aviones F18 navales de los EUA. Antes de su botadura, la tripulacion pudo entrenarse en los USNavy, sobre la tecnica de manejo de las catapultas y otras rutinas …

  5. En la querra de las malvinas, los argentinos le hundieron un portaaviones y ahora los misiles hipersonicos chinos y Rusos, se los parten en dos en segundis, me vwngan con cuentos, lis misiles hipersonicis dejaron defasados a los pirtaaviones, son blancos seguros.

  6. A great ship of a great nation.
    Nobody should underestimate modern France (same as UK, Poland, Ukraine and Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavia) – and Putin did exactly this mistake.

  7. It used to be that the Brits came #2 behind us in terms of expeditionary warfare force projection capabilities and capacity but the Brits have really become a shadow of themselves. Meanwhile, the French have been fighting a literally continent spanning war against Islamic terrorstates in Africa nearly on their own for the past five years.. Same people and organizations we were fighting in the middle east have all decamped to Africa and the Russkies have been fucking around actually helping them until a year or so ago, then stabbed them in the back. If you're wondering what the terrorist attack in Moscow waa all about.

  8. Es chatarra fracesa….no tiene como esquivar los misiles Iskander que lo hundiria en 5 minutos …parece que estas leyendo un manual y no un analisis de capacidad de combate …por eso es que rusia no fabrica estas naves …y no se puede comparar una superpotencia con un pais como francia que no tiene capacidad de combate con los britanicos que de por si son basura segun los estadounidences !!!!!
