France... has one of the few militaries that stand on the cutting edge of technology. They are competitive with the US, China and Russia and definitely not tapped out from having a budget less than 2% of their GDP, or shrinking recruitment figures to support a pool of professional soldiers that is exhausted from Sentinel Operation of constantly patrolling French cities for the last four years and intervening in the Sahel.

Yeah.

ellipsis should be banned

>It’s easy to save money for research when you don’t deploy troops.

Unfortunately being on the cutting edge didn’t help them much last time.

2 more Frog operators just got killed trying to rescue CIA assets in Burkina Faso

The hilarious thing about this picture is that the FAMAS is being replaced because France no longer has the capability to build small arms

why do operators always look like chads

>CIA assets

Is that code for "two thrill-seeking morons that we never should have went back for" ?

Aside from the two French tourists, they also rescued a random Amerimutt and Korean who were also taken hostage.

Oddly enough only the ones that die.

All the green berets and sf dudes i've met have been oddly normal looking. There was only ever one group that looked stereotypical giga Chad, and their ncoic was still a short, chubby mexican guy. Had great hair though.

They were all fit looking, but in a "dad who runs 10k's every month" or "dad who still lifts casually at 37" kind of body type. Really functional over aesthetic.

>They are competitive with the US, China and Russia
Out of those three they only equal and exceed Russia. Most their programs are half French and half some other European. Usually British, Italian or German.

They were from the Commando Hubert, iirc

I disagree with you. Anyway what is this thread about? What sort of replies are you looking for?

Probably a bong false flagging as a frog

Why they are still very close despite the recent EU stuff?

nice peripherals on that frog helmet, surrender monkeys

The Niger ambush guys mostly looked like regular military and they all died

>They are competitive with the US
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

You... ought to go fuck yourself

>competes with USA

A little too much wine jaac

the major problem is the french army's budget, we used to say that we were trying to fight an american war with the budget of an African military. As you said there also is a severe problem with the overuse of soldiers on the OP Sentinelle and general in country securisation.
I'd also say another problem is that the hierarchy is top heavy and that reduces the effectiveness of the overall military.

Shut the fuck up Frenchman. No one asked for your view. and speak English
