France decided to build an aircraft carrier for future SCAF aircraft

The French leadership made a fundamental decision on the need to build a new aircraft carrier, which should become a platform for placing the aircraft of the future.

This was announced by Defense Minister Florence Parley, finally confirming the intention to launch a program to create a new ship, which was named PANG. According to her, the new aircraft carrier is supposed to be built by 2038 to replace the Charles de Gaulle, which is currently in service.

The project is overseen personally by President Emmanuel Macron. Under his supervision, an industrial group was created, consisting of French companies, which will have to create the main elements of the new ship. Its ranks include the Naval Group (shipyard), Thales (supplier of electronic systems), MBDA (arms manufacturer), Dassault Aviation (responsible for the aircraft wing) and TechnicAtome (nuclear reactor).

Details about the design and characteristics of the aircraft carrier are planned to be made public at the end of this year. Its cost is not yet known. However, it is clear that it will not include the costs of the program to create a new aircraft SCAF (Système Aérien de Combat Futur - combat system aviation future). Only for the production of the demonstrator was allocated 3 billion euros. Work on it is being carried out jointly by France, Germany and Spain.

Experts believe that the large dimensions of SCAF (by a third in comparison with the Raphael) will lead to the fact that the aircraft carrier will be larger than the Charles de Gaulle. In this regard, it is expected that its displacement will be 70 thousand tons, length 280 m (instead of 42 thousand tons and 261 m). This will allow the installation of electromagnetic catapults, the takeoff with the support of which, in comparison with steam ones, requires a longer runway.

Let them build and the larger the size, the better, it will be easier to get into it.

Is Macron going to sit until 2038?
It will be merged in the next election.
The new president will close the shop. It is expensive for the EU to maintain an army. And, already, aircraft carriers are like a feast during the plague. In our case, the coronavirus.

The army (navy) defends the economic interests, in this case, of French corporations in third countries. So, there is a direct connection with the economy. Well done Frenchmen, they are building an aircraft carrier for a promising aircraft. I wonder who will build us or them faster?

[newcomer]

I don’t know about the aircraft carrier itself, but "SCAF" in the rosy dreams should appear at 40. And this hodgepodge from the participating countries threatens to repeat the fate of Eurofighter, which was expected as the lord of heaven, but turned out to be so-so, mediocre.

May this "Wardrobe" never fly.

[newcomer]

May not be in time, before the collapse of the EU then.

It is interesting how many mosques this aircraft carrier is equipped with, because the feelings of believing military sailors must be respected. Will they not fight on Fridays? Will the new recruits from "Charlie Hebdo?"

What for? Numerous Chechens and Ramzan, mired in luxury, feel good, for he has nowhere to go to pay tribute from Russia.
And the wrong Chechens flee to France for benefits and to cut the heads of the infidels, who will not go to serve in the Navy anyway.

it is good for Ramzan, mired in luxury, for he has nowhere to go to pay tribute from Russia.

Kadyrov keeps his fellow tribesmen in check. Yes, he is a khan. But this khan crushes the rest of the bais. And if that Moscow can give it to be torn apart by these "peaceful" buyers and nukers. He knows it. Serves right.

[the Saint]

Yes, you will have to pay further, and it’s good, if not 300 years, as it was already under the old kings and princes.

[Xnumx vis]

First, Chechens are citizens of Russia. Secondly, Kadyrov collects tribute from his fellow tribesmen, which he is allowed, as the main Chechen bai. Third, Russia allocates money to raise the standard of living not only in depressed Chechnya, but also in the Crimea, the North Caucasus, Donbass, South Ossetia, Transnistria .. Just as your American friends support Poland, Israel, the Baltic states, feed Ukraine and Georgia .. and other peoples and peoples crawling on their belly before the Americans. And also the princelings of these peoples and the presidents appointed by the USA ..

[the Saint]

My "American friends and patrons" three times saved my country from hunger and disease, and once saved from a cruel military defeat.
And with the Mongol enslavers, as with the Chechens, we also lived in one state, which in different periods was called differently - the Golden Horde - the most popular and famous.

[Xnumx vis]

Is it really Ukraine? Your country ..bu ha ha !!!!!!

Aircraft carriers are a wonderful easy-to-kill target in a big war and a means of dictating in relatively peacetime in remote corners of the world against the underdeveloped natives. Who are the French going to enslave?

[Rubi0]

Yes, at least in the former colony of French Guiana, order to maintain and protect their cosmodrome, otherwise they suddenly believe in their exclusivity and begin to invent all sorts of Guianan languages ​​like Kazakh, Ukrainian, etc.

[the Saint]

It is these very underdeveloped aborigines on 1/8 of the land that they are going to enslave, as the TV tells me every day and around the clock.

Its population. These projects require a lot of money.

I am perplexed! It’s just interesting, WHAT were those guided by those who fiercely minus my comment with the generalized point of view of many experts on the prospects for the use of aircraft carriers. Or did I just have an influential ill-wisher (enemies) who can (s) easily (can) "lower" the unwanted ones?

Old Europe understands that it is enough to be vassals of the USA. They are still timid, but still say - it's time for Europe to have its own army. It began to dawn on them that while they were fond of tolerance and liberalism, the United States was preparing to make them "cannon fodder" in its confrontation with Russia and China. But for some reason, Italy is not on this list?

[Sergey39]

So yes, but so far nobody has canceled tolerance and liberalism for Europe.

[Thrifty]

Yankees will shake their used aircraft carriers for a third of the price! Until 2038, France has a chance to become a "purely Arab state", which means that the aircraft carrier is from the Shaitan

[APASUS]

An interesting move. And then what will they cut, planes or an aircraft carrier? In fact, there are still no exact performance characteristics of the aircraft of the future, and the aircraft carrier is already beginning to plan, with a margin or something

[ZEMCH]

How is the principal solution? Those. we need a new aircraft carrier. The plane, however, is not yet, neither size nor weight. There is no working catapult. But we observe the principles)))

[Koval Sergey]

They need this avik for overseas territories. Colonizers all the same.

[iouris]

Where two or three revolutions take place in a century, an aircraft carrier will never be built. It seems that we'll start downloading soon.
