@Defence_Index No, they have not added 80 in one year. As we describe, it is a temporary transition between a modified warhead entering the stockpile and a retired warhead being dismantled. The size of the stockpile is unchanged for now, but will increase in the future.
⚡🇫🇷 Nuclear arms race accelerates: France adds 80 warheads in a single year
France's nuclear arsenal has grown from 290 warheads in 2025 to 370 in 2026, an increase of 80 nuclear weapons in just one year, according to the latest SIPRI report.
As global powers continue to modernize and expand their arsenals, concerns over a renewed nuclear arms race are mounting.

@zKaszebe@KasiaKlass Przecież ten tytuł to clickbait. RPD niczego się nie domaga - pojawiają się za to ,,apeluję" i ,,uprzejmie prosimy Państwa o rozważenie...".
@MatejRisko My observation: there is relatively little information about warheads heating/preheating (and overall climate control during long storage/loading on launcher/plane phase).
Zawsze pasjonuje mnie jak technika poszła do przodu. Taka jedna ,,Sajna" wykona zadanie w sumie wszystkich radarów które można spotkać w muzeum na Powsińskiej.
Production of the first #Airbus#C295 Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) for the Spanish Air and Space Force (@EjercitoAire) continues to progress at our Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Seville. The first power on has just been completed, representing a key milestone in the industrial process.
The C295 MPA will be equipped to carry out anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, command and control (C2), and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions. It will also be capable of carrying armaments such as torpedoes and other weapon systems.
@MaciejDeperas@jarek_osowski@PKP_PLK_SA Nie czekają bo ekspertyza dopuszcza użytkowanie wiaduktów do końca 2027 r. pod warunkiem spełnienia zaleceń i wytycznych tam zawartych. Zalecenia które da się sprawdzić z poziomu chodnika zostały przynajmniej częściowo zastosowane.
@WroblewskiPiotr@Rad92Dan Akurat wczoraj po przeczytaniu tego dokumentu przechodziłem tamtędy i nie wiem jak z pkt. 1 ale pkt. od 2 do 5 zostały wykonane. Nie szedłem tamtą stroną więc nie wiem czy pkt 16 też został wykonany. Z wiadomych względów nie mam wiedzy o reszcie zaleceń.
🇫🇷 MBDA and SAFRAN have conducted the first demonstration firing of the THUNDART guided rocket, which aims to provide France with a sovereign munition capable of striking targets up to 150 km away. This program aims at striking the rear areas of adversary forces (logistics depots, command centers, air defense systems, etc.).
According to MBDA cited by @ForcesOperation, the munition travels at high supersonic speeds and features a non-ballistic trajectory in the terminal flight phase, making it more difficult to intercept for point defense systems. It uses a guidance system directly derived from that of the AASM/HAMMER air-to-ground munition.
This is a French equivalent of the US GMLRS munition, capable of being fired autonomously without any external constraints.
The THUNDART is in competition with the FLPT-150, developed by Arianegroup and Thales, which has yet to complete its first flight.

Rare Video Appears To Show A Soviet Su-7 Jet Dropping A Nuclear Bomb
During one very unusual Cold War drill, a Soviet Su-7 Fitter attack jet delivered a live tactical nuclear weapon in an end-to-end test.
