" Countries have no friends, only interests" Charles de Gaulle 😂
Who fled when his country surrendered. He stopped in England until france was liberated ,then turned on the British, typical French coward.
So true.
France had one energy policy. Became the first nuclear power of europe.
Makes own missiles.
Makes own fighter jets.
Makes own warships.
Even the president of france promotes european countries to invest and buy european weapons instead of buying US weapons.
@@raidensergi2378 France wants to become the first weapon builder in europe, this will probably be the case over the years, cause german weapon industry is kinda falling while france keeps innovating much more in all sectors, despite president macron and his government incompetence on economy subject they at least managed to make france take better positions in europe politics, the government that will take power will be much more nationalists which will probably increase france spending in the military even more

Honestly you could put 6 Rafales vs 1 F22 Raptor and it would be over in seconds. They would have no chance…that’s why it’s an air superiority fighter!
@@luckyFrenchy Oui. Pour le meilleur et pour le pire. Avant l'Ukraine, vous vous souvenez à quelle occasion on avait entendu parler des Césars ? (indice: il y avait des civils...)
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.

You have analyzed things well, indeed France and India have signed defense partnerships, moreover the first Indian minister was the guest of honor during July 14, what you call "the Bastille day" and the French Pdt had the reciprocal a few weeks ago. The independence of France allowed it to say NO during the second war against Iraq in 2003, this war which was a lie of Bush Jr. and Tony Blair and which killed thousands of brave Western soldiers who did not had nothing to do there.
It killed 100.000's of innocent Iraqis as well.

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.
still a heavy armored vehicle like a tank is still needed for the infantry to move in urban environment for protection and support heavy firepower
"The era of tanks is coming to an end."
People have been saying this forever. "Armor and shield will become useless because bullet can bypass them"
The things is we made armor better than it was in the past, and they had the capacity to protect from bullet. Then we made better weapon that killed these armor, then we made better armor.
Tank will not disapear, they will change, like armor always did.
McJibbin Lots of love from France !

fyi, at 2:23 , he says that the french leave NATO for a time, but no, the french only leave the unified NATO command, still in NATO but acting independently (it's more complex than that)
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
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷💪
Connor, I think you missed the point. The subject is not about France being strong enough to go to war with whomever, but about how its know-how in producing arms and in tying up diplomatico-commercial relationships whith potential buyers are placing the country as a leader in the world's arms trade.
That being said, as a "Peace & Love" individual, I'm torn between some pride in my country's ability to be reckoned as an expert in that field, and ... I wish that field weren't that of producing material meant to kill.
In a perfect world where war did not exist this would indeed be immoral, unfortunately this world does not exist and these sales contribute to the increase in France's defenses. When this world of peace and love between peoples exists (I have serious doubts about this), I can only agree with you.
I agree with you and we all have to be torn because nothing is absolute. It's normal and good sign of intelligence, not a problem. Particularly with this field.
"It is this eternal dance that separates human beings from angels, from demons, from god

In a way french weapons help garantee peace because of their lethality. On the other hand it is still selling tools of death and destruction to sketchy regimes sometimes( egypt, saudi arabia and UAE) .
@@CROM-on1bz I'd like to agree with you but this stands until we notice that our arms end up being used in Yemen civil for example (which was one of the topics of the 2017 presidential campaign)
@@noefillon1749 n any case there is no way to effectively repress the sales or re-sales of weapons on parallel markets, thinking that it is possible is as illusory as wanting to eradicate all the scammers and thieves from the earth. The world of Care Bears is not for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Mmmh so you want to talk about the country who won the most war battle of the world ever ? Intéressant
Generally speaking every tank underperformed in the Ukraine war, its not the fault of the Abrams per say. Against modern drone warfare and stingers, tanks took a secondary place and can be too easily taken down. Not even talking about all the mines, which makes tanks unusable for proper assault.
The complex motorization of American tanks and the too heavy design is not adapted to the conditions of the Ukrainian plains
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.
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.
Oui, bon, si la furtivite est une technologie facultative, pourquoi les deux futurs avions NG européens, dont celui de Dassault ,seront furtif ...?
@@Lol-rx7sx parceque c est simplement devenu un standard, il vaut mieux l avoir que ne pas l avoir, mais l avoir ne te rend absolument pas invisible, face aux avions qui sont eux aussi avancés.
Furtif n a jamais voulu dire invisible, et en matiere de savoir faire, le concurrent direct de Locked Martin, c est Dassault Aviation ... Le Neuron, le drone de Dassault est de 5eme generation, pourquoi ils ont pas acceleré ce projet et en ont pas fait un avion avec pilote? ca sert strictement a rien quand on a le Rafale ...
f-35 can also store less weapons than the rafale, as they have to be contained inside the hull to keep their stealth ability, which isn't the case for the rafale. so you can also add extra tanks, on top of a shit ton of weaponry.
the rafale is also considered the best "omni-role" fighter aircraft in the wold
oui mais nous n avons pas la puissance politique de l amerique , elle ,elle n a pas besoin d amis elle se suffi a elle meme nous par contre pour survivre il faut ce lever les doits du c...
Don't forgot the caesar canon that is actually buy by lots of country in Europe because of the performance of the ceasar on the front
Bigger superpower than Russia ? As a French I don't think so. Maybe bigger weapons exporter but the french ground forces are just 120 000 active personnel and 60 000-80 soldiers
si tu fait ce qu'il font en ukraine contre l'armée Française, tu tiens pas 5 jours. même les états unis ce méfient de nous. ça paraît pas mais en vrai notre armée est surentrainée et ça, ça fait toute la différence.
@@hordeforever2482 oui mais on a quand même moins de la moitié de leur effectif donc même si ça peut faire du 1 contre 4 ça reste compliqué.

@@hordeforever2482 Ah oui je suis d'accord on est invincible sur notre propre sol, mais le seul pays qui a le budget pour tenir une ligne de front (ou une partie) si loin de chez soi c'est les USA. Même les Russes n'en sont pas capables. Par contre si il fallait envoyer un corps expéditionnaire pour prendre n'importe quelle ville russe c'est largement possible, mais ça signifierait une guerre totale et ça la France ne peut, et ne veut pas.

@@hordeforever2482 1vs6 c'est pas mal effectivement mais comme tu le dis le problème derrière ça reste encore les munitions et le matériel insuffisants
French weapons are very effective on the battlefield, as we have seen in Ukraine and Africa. Furthermore, France is a nuclear power with nuclear weapons and should never be underestimated because it has not signed the no-first-use pact.
Easy maintenance is one of the qualities that American have failed to take into consideration. Their wepons are too fancy for a lot of the world and break down too easily.
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.
Si vis pacem,para bellum...If you wont peace, prepare war (Not le général de Gaulle but Jules César I thinks). Even if americans thinks they are the soldiers of the free World,their failures were more importants than their "victories"...and the rest of the World don't really need them to fight for them,. Excuse me if there is mistakes on my writting but i'm just a little frenchie girl who sincerely fed up of the american superiority complex. Happy weekend to everyone

If only we could bring forward global warming very quickly to some countries, I mean hot hot global warming.
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 ».
One thing, is that we are open to sell more than the weapon. We can agree (regarding the country) to sell our technology at the same time.
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
6:10 So how would you as supreme ruler of Croatia do that? Smaller countries can fend of similar threats but if Russia comes... because of the budget nukes are not even an option. You have to ally yourself with stronger partners as part of geopolitical strategy, preferably ones that support your sovereignty.
Yes but even if you are a small country, the fact that you would bring sophisticated weapons to the table makes you a notable addition to any alliances. For instance, it becomes possible to have joined attacks with countries which are on par with your own technology. 10 planes might not be sufficient to fight a Russian attack off, but combined with ally forces, your 10 planes might become a real asset.
@@lesfreresdelaquote1176 Croatia invested in 12 Rafale planes and first ones came from France few weeks ago. It is not much but it is honest work.
I've enjoyed watching your video tonight good night
Did he mention the 300kt warning shot ?
I am french and I can say that our regular land army is equipped with ww2 equipments, we have very few quantities of vehicles and canons and we have only 4 days to a week of heavy ammunition in case of war. Our technology is poor compared to others in terms of deployment and for intense maritime fight or land we are not prepared with success launches for missiles. New comers in the army are also poorly patriots and won't fight people with same religion as us for a certain population in our ranks.
I would be intrestead to see when in World War 2 were the soldier using Famas, HK, Leclerc, Rafale and AMX 10RC.
@@alkazarjkdghjd There are other stuff than weapons. Just talk with french soldiers.
Superpower who can't handle more than 4 days of high intensity war 🤣🤣🤣
Rafale is the best in every aspects
better is every tests between aircrafts...
Abrams doing "bad" is mostly a propaganda snip. There has been just handful of them transferred, they have been used in hardest offensive scenario without the system they are supposed to be used. They should be compared to french AMX - just few of them, used in a way they were not designed for and all cameras pointed at them
I totally agree with you, poorly used equipment is destroyed and can damage its commercial value
@@ludo5327 The thing is that the emirati leclerc is lower in quality than the french one as well as the saudi Abrahms is lower than US Abrahms... BUT in Yemen, Saudi engaged about 250 to 300 abrahms and Saudi have known few dozens of damaged and/or destroyed Abrahms. The emirati engaged about 220 Leclercs, and a single one was damaged and killing only one member of the crew of 3... and this Leclerc has already be reparied to go back to fight.
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.
@@jean-Pierre-bt8xw I don't know if we can say it is of lesser quality, but it is certain that the countries selling arms ensure that the weapons sold do not turn against them and do not equip them with all the offensive capabilities.
for the F22, it is a very good plane I think even better than the Raphale in close combat but does not have that omnirole capacity
the F35 for me is overvalued, I do not question its stealthiness but its weight and its cost price, I am not a specialist in aviation so this only concerns me
Also even when destroyed, western tanks prioritize the survival of the crew with armored ammo storage and other protective systems whereas when Russian tank are destroyed the ammos inside cook and explode killing the crew with it, it's why the turret get ejected.
@@ludo5327 Totally agree.
You've never said not wrong I still like you
26:40 M1 Abrams that went to ukraine is a 30 years old M1 Abrams
I totally aggree with you. Imagine you are German or Polish and you wonder what's going on during the next Autumn in the US. Your military protection, so, your future depends on the election result of another country. Scary, is not it? PS: another big customer of Dassault is Indonesia. This is a big country which has a more or less similar strategy to India with regards to arms purchase.

The subject was arms exports, not military power. No European country is a superpower.
Germany's actually quite a big arms exporter, but the great majority is within Europe. Ref the vid featured here's comment re French arms sales being poor in Europe due to a big, high tech US arms export presence. Exactly the same point could've been made re high tech/high quality intra-European German arms exports.
They aren't a superpower. Not bad, but no super power. Also not difficult when everyone else around them is investing in public affairs.

Bonjour, le mot que tu recherches, c'est la "souveraineté" ou l'indépendance.
La France ne veut pas être le vassal du seigneur et maître américain...surtout en considérant le niveau d'ignorance des américains sur tant de sujets et sur la culture générale...oui je sais, cette remarque sera interprétée comme la légendaire arrogance des français, mais bon sang, que le manque de connaissance de l'américain moyen fait peur, ne serait-ce qu'en géographie !😅😜
Mais en vrai, on aime tout le monde, c'est juste qu'on adore se plaindre, comme on dit en France : "quand je me regarde dans un miroir, je me désole, quand je regarde les autres, je me console"! 😂
Je voudrais quand même rassurer nos amis Américains, on ne vend pas toutes nos technologies ni balistique. On garde tout de même les armes les plus sensibles ! le seul pays qui a un vrai partenariat avec la France pour les dernières technologies ce sont les États-Unis !
PS; re India, yes. India actually is a REAL nascent superpower. India's annual GDP having overtaken (now 7th-ranked) France's some years ago and more recently, Britain's (now only ranked 6th) as well.
Too much focus is given to GDP, the important figure is GDP per capita. The UK's isn't great, but India's? Dire doesn't seem too strong a word to describe it.
Data from the IMF suggests that India's GDP (current prices) during 2021 stood at $3.18 trillion. In comparison, the UK's GDP was at $3.19 trillion. The point is that the economic productivity of 1.39 billion Indians was almost equal to that of just 67.3 million British people.

UK should not give financial aid to countries with nuclear power i.e India.

still not change anything france aint go against their old friend Russia, and soldiers will never die for diversity so forget
WHile the video is good, the title is extremely misleading ("military superpower bigger than Russia"???)
Its not the size of the army its what you do with it. Remember France were big military forces throughout history and we (UK) had to bail them out of 2 world wars!!
Because UK was an island and Hitler more than once missed his chance to take it over
And we kicked your *** out of america ^^
Joke aside (even if it's true), France has one of the most, if not the most, victories amount in history. Don't always focus on what makes your point only ;)
"Bigger than Russia". Dude, I did not watch the entirety of the video and the reaction yet. However I'm French and I know the strengths of our armies. As the weaknesses. As it stands today, for many years and nothing has changed since the Ukraine invasion, France can wage a war for 3 days. 3 days only. We don't have the ammunitions, the logistic, the missiles or the tanks to endure more than 3 days of high intensity war.
4 mn into the video, let me tell you, its just a bunch of bulls**t. Really. Every high ranking french military know this. But they're abide to remain silent. You know, military don't speak. Publicly. Behind close doors, every one knows France doesn't have a massive capacity. We have a great specialized army capable of low intensity combat, pin pointing some objectives. We have great combat aircraft. Great tanks. Great spec ops. But all of this in very small numbers. Our armies is a sample army. Its very good to engage in operation like in Africa. Other than that, we just don't have the numbers.
On 241 Leclerc tanks, only 147 are functioning. Yet we don't have the industrial capacity to build upon that to face a full on war like it happens in Ukraine. We delivered 18 tanks in 2023. 21 are said to be delivered this year. Russia is said to build around 300 tanks a year since the war broke out. And I mean, that's the lowest I saw. One report from UK intelligence talk about 100 tank per month as of 2024. That's just one example, taking the tanks case. There's many more like missiles or light vehicles.
So I don't know what those Swede are smoking while they wrote those reports, but its really good. Or what the commentator from the video thinks when he says France doubled arms export while Russia falls behind from 60%. Dude ! Of course they won't export weapons when they need them to wage war... Whatever you think of the Russians, their army and logistic, France simply can't maintain 1000 kilometers of front, withstand human and material losses, yet still continue more than 3 days like Russia does for more than 2 years.
I love my country and wish for its armies to be first in the world. It just isn't the case. Any one telling the opposite is a fool because you make the world and French think we can fight on equal foot with countries like US, Russia or China on the battlefield. And for decades our politics, Macron first, striped our defense budget and manufactory capacities to build our military forces. And that's the same with hospitals, schools or public services in general. They're just killing our country. Slowly but surely.
Only thing that will save us is the atomic. But as per armies strength, forget it.
The title is misleading. It is maybe a "military supplier" superpower. In terms of its own "military", France have looked good on paper for a very long time. When in action, they haven't performed since Napoleon. France just got kicked out of Africa by rebels assisted by Russia. Says it all. The cough of 2019 and then prioritising home supply was significant.
You spotted the propaganda about the tanks!!
Usa were kick to Afghanistan no? leave doesn’t mean you can’t destroy them
the french did remarkably well in WW1 once we managed to overcome our outdated military doctrine of the start of the war. sure we didn't push back the germans but we held firm very well until the germans did the error of asking mexico to poke america. And that despite being outnumbered most of the war at one point it was even allmost 2 to 1 but still we held firm. sure it wasn't just the frenchj there was an investment of british troops but they stayed up north in the fronts yet none colapsed after the initial push into france. So no we haven't underpreformed since napoleon. even if WW2 during the breif time we were officially a nation in the war the germans feared us. it's leadership that killed us not troop competence. dunkirk would have never been a success without the french troops competency in holding back the germans long enough for the british cowards to flee
@@Netscape-kd6mg The Vichy regime was the French rump state headed by Marshal Philippe Pétain during World War II. It was named after its seat of government, the city of Vichy, south of Paris. The regime was inaugurated on 22 June 1940 and ended in September 1944. It was a fascist and collaborationist government that implemented racist policies and cooperated with the Nazi occupation. (summary per Bing search).
@@AbzScotland and what does that have to do with hjow well we fought during the german invasion? does that change the fact that the D-Day landings would have been a failure without the french resistance, helping with the landings of paratroopers, the sabotage of railways and telephone centerrs that delayed german reinforcements?
yeah we had our times where the french gouvernment didn't really have the possibility to do the right thing. it helps to have a streach of water to help you defend your country. the battle of france cost the german airforce 36% of it's strength. with how close the battle of britain was you can thank the french for the loss they had to suffer because if we hadn't destroyed that many airplanes britain would have fallen just like france. And they too would have had a fachist regime
@@Netscape-kd6mg It has to do with the fact that you write as if you were a veteran of both WW1 and WW2 and you were brave and competent. I was pointing out that statistically had you lived in that period you were more likely to be a collaborator. Surprised you have time to write from the trenches in UKR.
superpower.. france?! Lol
For saying this like that u obviously got fed with french bashing propaganda or either miss history lessons in school. ( Or maybe both ).
I invite you to make so rechearch you would be surprised i think.
jconnais très bien mon histoire merci, la france est peut-être une puissance.. mais clairement pas une super puissance, chacun son point dvue
Je t'invite a comparé la France avec les 197 états de ce monde.
-7e en PIB
-11e Militaire (7 si on prend en compte le nucléaire )
-Une culture reconnue dans le monde entier ( les plus grands produits de luxe viennent de France ( Vin / Gastronomie française / Louis Vuitton / l'Art avec un grand A / . . . / etc )
-Un équipement militaire des plus perfectionné au Monde ! ( Rafale / Ceasar / char leclerc et bientôt le nouveau char en coopération avec les Allemands ) -> Bien qu'on ai pas les moyens d'en avoir en quantité ils sont tout de même plus performants que l'équipement militaire Américain.
-Un niveau de vie trés bon ( même avec un SMIC, oui oui il s'agit juste de pas s'acheter un téléphone tous les 6 mois, un SUV qui consomme comme pas possible, et 50 abonnements par mois comme j'en connais certains.
- Oui le pouvoir d'achat baisse, oui la sécurité baisse aussi, oui les services publiques sont a la ramasse, OUI la France a de nombreux défauts mais c'est bel et bien une super puissance ne t'en déplaise et ce n'est pas un " point de vue".
*In 1939, France had the most powerful army in the world.*
No, France did not. It had the reputation of being the best from WW1, where after a rough beginning, by the end of the war they had built a complete combined arm military backezd by the largest airforce of the time, but by 1939, due to 20 years of economic difficulties, and a democraphy flatlined by the losses of WW1, their army was a shadow of that.
@@MN-vz8qm Here is the translated excerpt from the review "LIGNE DE FRONT HS N.22 - Quelle était la meilleure armée 1939 - 1945, Codice: 507006022":
In 1939, the French Army was considered the best in the world; the Wehrmacht of 1940 was seen as the most revolutionary in terms of doctrine; the British Army was viewed as archaic, being too entrenched in concepts dating back to the Great War. By 1941, the Red Army was the largest in terms of men and tanks. The Japanese Army, whose potential had been difficult to discern until then, surprised everyone with its speed and stealth. The U.S. Army, embarking on its industrial revolution, relied primarily on material superiority. But which of these six armies was truly the best of World War II? And what about the place of France, spectacularly excluded from the scene as early as 1940? Attacked by surprise on its own soil (unlike Great Britain, which withdrew its expeditionary force from France to its national territory), it lacked both the necessary reserves and industries and sufficiently vast spaces (except for its too-distant colonial empire) to "last" until the much-needed equipment arrived in large numbers from the United States. It was this precious space and time that (unlike the Soviet Union) it lacked, just as a salvaging recovery was beginning in June 1940... To provide tangible answers to determine the degrees of excellence (and although some obvious answers already provide a starting point), we decided to reexamine the question based on a ranking established on identical criteria such as doctrine, training, combined arms combat, artillery, logistics, etc. Thus, the French, German, Soviet, Japanese, British, and American Armies are scrutinized, and their strengths-as well as their weaknesses-are highlighted to allow you to form your own opinion.
@@MN-vz8qm The only issue in 1939 was the pacifism of the majority of French, not the economic issue. The French could have kept their army up to date, they didn't because too many ignorant were against it because of their absurd pacifism.
And even with it's dated military equipement in 1939, the French gave an extremely hard time for the German. The French tank and fighter, despite their age perfomed extremely well.
Well, ok , military is one thing overall superpower strongest economy , biggest industrial might in Europe is only Germany , period.
Germany has a military but is not allowed to have a really big military , it's mandated as law by the UN so things like WWI and WWII don't happen again .
Germany is a NATO member, and as such is supposed to allocate 2.5% of its GDP to defence. NATO has been asking Germany to build up its military for years. Germany chose to concentrate on its economy and let the UK, France and the US spend their cash to defend them. Smart move, from Germany's point of view. Not so smart from the point of view of Britain, France and the US. It's time for Germany to start pulling its weight, we're all mates now, we trust them. Apart from that, Britain and France have their nukes, should they ever feel like going rogue again.
Good thing the video is specifically about MILITARY superpower and not economic then?
Germany has no restrictions when it comes to weapon manufacturing. They are only not allowed nukes and chemical weapons.
Their military is restricted at 370k soldiers and they only have 180k.
So no, the restrictions do not hold back Germany in any way, period.
@@patrickducloux7523 The are restricted at 370k soldiers why do you that restriction is in place , it's just arbitrary ?
A military isn't just made up of weapons , planes, submarines it's way more than that.
Hmm , I wonder why ?
@@gregorygant4242 What are you one about? I couldnt make sense of this incoherent rambling no matter how hard I tried.
Not sure about this. The British and the French have a comparable military force, but one thing this video neglects which is a major force multiplier, is a highly effective intelligence service…and the British secret service is legendary - one of the best in the world.
The French intelligence service on the other hand, consists of Marcel Marceau 😂
You knowing nothing about French secret services means they are way more effective than yours ;)
A ztrange video. Seems to focus a lot on Russia, a founding member of BRICS. Also fighting Europe and US single handed.
Honestly, France having so much invested in Middle Eastern arms deals may explain why so many French llose their heads to immigrants without the goverment doing anything to stop it.
As french I don't understand your comments about middle east migrants
Note that the two decapitataions in France in the last two years were performed by Chechens with Russian passports, so I don't understand how you can link this to arms deals in the Middle East.
@@kerouac2 there have been quite a number of terrorist attacks in France claimed by Al-Qaeda or ISIS. The more you get involved with the Middle-East, the more it back fires.
That's because your navy escort them to Britain.
Yeah, Russia single-handedly fighting 1% of NATO exports, such an insane feat!
They wouldnt last a week in a real war against Europe/US.
Im French and let me say :
We re far to be at level of Russia.. we have few more nuke warheads than the Uk but the Great Russia have + 4000 nukes more than us🤷♂️
And no need to talk about troop numbers😂
but the topic is about exporting war machines and arms market ? not which country is the best military power
Who care if Russia has 4k more nuke than France? France can still wipe earth one time, it's more than enouth.
That’s nonsense it’s the USA then China then Russia then Germany then the uk then South Korea the FRANCE SOME ONE IS TELLING YOU LIES
U must be a brexiter 😂
No chance 🇬🇧💪🏼💪🏼
No chance of what?
😂 Brexit😂
Yep, the UK is hopeless indeed
@@corentinbm9091 😂
The brit never were capable of fighting anyone and had to buy soldier from other country in every single one of their war.
And when the 2nd WW started they fled like the brit they are.
I dunno man, but the brit is one of the nation that should be the most quite when it come to military talk.
To suggest France is a bigger Military Superpower than Russia is clearly utter nonsense..
we are talking about the sale of weapons
Neither France nor Russia is a superpower. Russia has a huge arsenal of nuclear weapons, but the day it decides to use them is the last day of its existence. And Putin knows it.
Russia has a lot of nuclear weapons but they are so corrupt and incompetent.
