France's contribution is expected to include Leclerc tanks, surface-to-surface artillery, short-range anti-aircraft missiles and radar — unusually heavy weapons for a peacekeeping force.

Hmmmm... it seems that the French are more likely to defend the Hesbos with this kind of weaponry...

My guess would be the tanks are for any Hezbollah fighters they may encounter, the artillery is to respond to any motor or rocket attacks, and the Anti-Air radar and missiles are for any Unmanned Aerial Vehicles loaded with explosives that the Hezbollah may try to use.

All joking about the French being cheese eating surrender monkeys aside - althought their government may be weak and wobbly (kinda like ours is under Democrats) and the majority of the people have seem to have gotten soft and lazy, I would bet the French military soldiers are going into this deadly serious and will whack anyone hard who tries to test them.
