The solution is cost-effective because the missiles must be recycled or were assembled from expired components. This will help Paris avoid ruining its own arsenal: “Since these missiles are supposed to be quickly launched against Russia, their tests will be carried out according to a simplified scheme,” writes Deutsche Welle, citing the French media company RFI.
The missiles may be transferred as part of the Chrysalis program.
The publication RFI (Radio France Internationale) writes that the so-called “cocoons” contained missiles with an expiring shelf life, but still usable, as well as already partially disassembled missiles.
In the future, they were subject to disposal, but Paris decided to restore them and transfer them to Ukraine, without thereby damaging its own strategic arsenal. They were sent to the manufacturer’s plant, where three months later they were restored, quickly tested and sent to Ukraine.
RFI’s source calls it “a very effective cost-effective solution.”
