France's military actively intercepted Iranian drones targeting Israel in the days leading up to this week’s ceasefire, Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed Wednesday evening. Speaking before Parliament during a debate on the Middle East, Lecornu said the French army engaged in defensive operations as Iran launched a large-scale assault on Israel.
"I can confirm that the French army intercepted fewer than 10 drones over the last few days, during Iran's military operations against Israelhttps://www.jfeed.com/news-israel/iran-israel-conflict-analysis, either through ground-to-air systems or using our Rafale fighter jets," Lecornu stated

I don’t believe it. Does not make sense geographically.
People make fun of the French. But remember Napoleon almost conquered most of known (at the time) world, the French Resistance during WWII was critical, and now they are stepping up to the plate at least a little. Oh yeah let’s add the Foreign Legion. The French are no joke.
Hello Germany, what have you done lately?
The French have forces in the middle east.
France: Hey, look at me. I helped in taking down Ukraine too. Victory is mine too.
Probably trapped’em with big white sheets...
Euroweenies desparately trying to be relevant
Post ceasefire?
**Hello Germany, what have you done lately?**
I don’t think Israel would want their help. It’s history.
Look at what the Krauts did at Malmedy. “Battle of the Bulge” 60 years after watching that scene in the movie I picked up a book on the subject. “Fatal Crossroads”. It was much worse. It’s the German mentality. It’s hard to tell who was worse between them and the Russians.
Yup you are correct. My bad re: Germany.
Target practice. Literally, the French need to practice. What have pretend exercises when you can test on the real thing?
The US is good at war, nation building not so much, because it engages in war. No other country is as skilled and experienced at it as we are.
China has a growing pile of war goods but they will never truly know if any of it works.
Russia has a shrinking pile of goods that they have exposed as ineffective.
Germany, France, Japan, India are all going to have to man-up and start fighting when they have the chance.
Good points.
What a silly statement. Did he mean "no fewer than 10 drones?"
Zero is fewer than ten. I believe him.
Success has a thousand fathers.
Fired from the Muslim Parisian suburbs...
What did they do….surrender?
“It’s the German mentality. It’s hard to tell who was worse between them and the Russians.”
Compared to what the Germans did in Poland, Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union the Malmedy massacre was very small potatoes.
