Ukraine received French unitary rocket launchers

LRUs have arrived in Ukraine. Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov tweeted a picture of the LRU on Tuesday, warmly thanking France. Paris has promised to supply two systems. It is the army of Ukrainenow more powerful“, the minister was happy, obviously not revealing anything about the positions held by the LRH. Because of his hitting abilityin depthAt a range of 70 km, the integrated missile system belongs to the most important weapons for the Ukrainian forces, which are of the same rank as the American Himars. That way, the gunships could hit Russian supply chains or their rear bases, or hit the front while out of the fighter’s line of fire.

French aid is not limited to the LRU. France also supplied Caesar guns and 155 mm howitzers. The promised Crotale air defense systems are also on the battlefield, two batteries have been announced. Along with artillery and munitions, missile defense is another emergency for Ukraine, which is subject to massive bombing attacks against its civilian infrastructure. Paris is also exploring the deployment of radar detection systems.

If Paris is criticized for the relative weakness of material support to Ukraine, the French government insists on the consistency of promises and deliveries. It is noted that other supporters have announced many weapons, but have not yet provided them. “We actually deliver what we promiseIn October, Sébastien Lecornu said: Before the Senate, he also showed realism.We do not make concessions that would endanger the French nation“He warned before adding a wave of sincerity.We do this with a pragmatism that forces us to look at the reality of our stocks, but also at the reality of the advice given to us by our generals.“. France had only 13 LRUs. There is no question of yielding to others at this time.

The weakness of French artillery forces limits the possibility of possible future supplies. France is paying the price for its past budget choices. Until now, “The Army preferred the acquisition effect logic to the capability approach“says the military source. Understand, the air superiority supposedly achieved should have made it possible to reach objectives beyond the front lines. However, the Ukrainian war showed the fragility of the approach. the war takes place on the ground and the air force plays only a marginal role. “The war in Ukraine shows how deep the fires are growing“, Chief of Staff Thierry Burkhard emphasized during the hearing before the Senate. The replacement of LHMs in the army was planned for 2030.
