来日したインドネシアのシャフリ国防大臣@sjafriesjams と会談しました。護衛艦「あさぎり」の移転について議論をスタートすることで一致することができ、インドネシアとの結びつきを更に強固にすることができました。これで、オーストラリアに「もがみ」、フィリピンに「あふくま」、インドネシアに「あさぎり」と、護衛艦を通じた実質的な連携が面的に広がることになります。インド太平洋地域の平和と安定に資する確かな一歩です。シャフリ大臣との友情に感謝。

Tiger helicopter pilots regularly train in maritime environment. They often deploy with Mistral-class LHDs.

[Martin M. @FS_Lafayette]

Fitting rockets and light armament on H160M - future light helicopyer of the Marine Nationale - is being considered.
Let's note that if Army's Tiger helicopters must be embarked is that the Navy does not possess similar aicrafts to perform such job.

[Tom Antonov @Tom_Antonov]

General Hautreux, commander of the 4th Airmobile Combat Brigade, has confirmed plans to deploy French Army Tiger attack helicopters aboard French Navy frigates, following successful operational trials and crew qualification efforts. The capability comes as 🇫🇷 and 🇬🇧 prepare a potential maritime security mission in the Strait of Hormuz, where embarked Tigers could provide counter-drone, counter-surface threat, and force protection support for naval task groups.

I'm always a massive fan of putting intelligence into a public domain but statements like this should have caveats and be made by officials or the credibility of our agencies suffers. Just saying "intelligence" says doesn't really cut it.

[Martin M. @FS_Lafayette]

Japan maintains influence through the provision of military equipment. Let's note these platforms shall come with their sensors unlike former transfers

[Naval News @navalnewscom]

Japan and Indonesia have agreed to begin working-level discussions on the possible transfer of used Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) Asagiri-class destroyers, marking another step in Tokyo’s expanding defense export policy and highlighting how Japan is tailoring naval cooperation to the specific requirements of regional partners 🇯🇵 🇮🇩

Sweden selects Naval Group to acquire 4 new FDI frigates 🇫🇷⚓️

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

La Suède a fait le choix de la frégate de défense et d'intervention de Naval Group pour moderniser sa marine.

Je remercie la Suède et je mesure la confiance faite à la France.

Après le choix fait par la France de se doter du Global Eye de Saab pour renouveler sa flotte d'avions radar Awacs, c'est une décision stratégique majeure, qui traduit la confiance mutuelle entre nos deux pays.

Notre partenariat n’a en effet cessé de se renforcer ces dernières années jusqu’à la participation de la Suède à la dissuasion avancée.

Une Europe forte et souveraine au sein de l'OTAN : voilà notre conception de notre défense et de notre sécurité commune. Elle se bâtit chaque jour.
