France decided to supply GM200 radar to Ukraine

In the near future, France will transfer the Ground Master 200 (GM200) radar system to Ukraine. French Minister of the Armed Forces Sebastien Lecornu wrote about this on social networks.

According to the head of the French military department, the cost of the system will be covered from a special fund. In Paris, they believe that the transfer of the system will help Ukraine establish air defense against the backdrop of ongoing massive attacks by the Russian army on Ukrainian infrastructure.

Earlier, France transferred Crotale rocket launchers and air defense systems to Ukraine. In addition, France is going to purchase about 700 Aster-30 anti-aircraft missiles to equip SAMP-T air defense systems, which will also be delivered to Ukraine. True, the question arises of who will serve the equipment that is rather difficult to operate: the Ukrainian military cannot be trained quickly, and courses lasting several weeks are hardly capable of producing qualified specialists in the field of air defense.

Meanwhile, the Russian leadership has repeatedly warned Western countries that the supply of weapons and military equipment to the Kyiv regime only contributes to prolonging the conflict and new victims. In addition, foreign military equipment, getting into Ukraine, becomes a legitimate target for strikes by Russian troops.

However, the West, as we see, does not heed these warnings: the supply of foreign weapons to the Kyiv regime not only continues, but is becoming more and more active.

Campaign, paddling pools turned out to be the same bedding of the Anglo-Saxons as sausages.
And then, out of naivete, in 1945 we thought that the French rooster would be more independent than the German pig, but it turned out that they turn out to be related to each other.

And what makes you think that France was our ally in World War II? Throughout the war, they actively worked for Germany, like a cherry on the cake, it was the French SS who defended the Reichstag on May 2, 1945.

I didn’t have anything like that about France as an ally of the USSR during WWII and didn’t even say a word. Photographs of that time from Paris and other cities of France speak well of the "heroic" struggle of the French against Nazi Germany during WWII. At the same time, I remember very well that the number of French who fought in the Wehrmacht and other parts of Nazi Germany on the eastern front was many times greater than the minuscule French who fought on the side of the USSR.

The point is that the leadership of the USSR, following the political notions of expediency and the long-standing "friendly" relations of the French to the Anglo-Saxons and Germans, pulled France into the camp of the victorious countries, probably counting on the fact that France will appreciate this and in the future will be more loyal to the USSR and Russia .

Time has shown that we were wrong about the French and healthy pragmatism is more healthy than unbridled optimism.

I love old European and American cinema.

Once I watched a French film about the "horrors of the occupation." The film is plus or minus 1960 - only 15 years have passed since the war ended.
The aunts in the dairy shop are indignant that there are only three varieties of cheese in the window, and, leaving the shop, one complains to the other that it is very difficult to find good meat. You have to buy what is available.
Horror-horror!!

And we also remember "Resistance" - to show the German "fig" in the back, waiting until he turns the corner.
I didn’t come up with it - the French showed it in their post-war cinema.

"Winners"...

Yes, the Normandie-Niemen, of course, fought.
We only remember "Charlemagne" too - they would have fought for Paris in June 1940 as much as in May 1945 for the Reich Chancellery.

Not certainly in that way. There was also an army of "Fighting France"

The Free French Forces were formed in July 1940 de jure. The initial strength of these forces was 1300 men from the expeditionary corps in Norway and the French Legion.

Their number grew all the time. Normandy-Niemen, by the way, is also the Free French Forces, created at the suggestion of de Gaulle.

On November 12, 1942, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR approved Resolution No. 1806-850ss "On the Agreement between the Red Army Air Force Command and the Military Command of the Fighting France on the Participation of French Air Force Units in Operations in the Soviet Union"[2]. On November 25, 1942, a Soviet-French agreement was signed on the formation of a French aviation squadron on the territory of the USSR.

In the second half of the war, the Free French Forces and other French forces were reorganized into

French Liberation Army. In September 1944, the army numbered 560 soldiers, as well as 000 soldiers of the internal army. By May 400 the French Liberation Army numbered 1 soldiers.

The 2nd French armored division under the command of General Leclerc Participated in the landing in Normandy and on August 25, 1944, this division was the first to enter Paris.

[Zoldat_A]

Do not read textbooks written on Soros grants at night. And then you will not know that France almost single-handedly liberated half of Europe, and what the Americans did not manage to do by May 9th.

Facts are not only stubborn things, but also very useful. Especially if you turn them the right way.
I personally know one European champion and one Olympic bronze medalist who received medals as part of the team, sitting on the bench. They themselves said that even tracksuits were never taken off. The guys are right, so for one of them, for example, the “gold” at the championship of the Union, obtained at the competitions, and not on the bench, means much more than the “gold” of Europe.

Therefore, there is no need to tell me about 1350000 of the French Liberation Army and about Leclerc.

And further.
On August 25, 1944, "the 2nd French armored division under the command of General Leclerc [...] entered Paris first."
Did the Germans reach Paris on August 25, 1944?
August 29, 1944 ended the operation "Bagration"

During Operation Bagration, the Soviet army inflicted the largest defeat on the German army in the entire military history of Germany, defeating the Wehrmacht Army Group Center. One of the largest military operations in the history of mankind.

And then some kind of Paris ... Why not enter it? Come in first, come in second...

I don't need about the "French winners". Only one answer to the question "Why did the Germans at any cost, breaking through with battles, try to surrender to the French, Americans and British" puts an end to the discussion of the role of the "allies" in that war for me.

In today's war, they are not hiding - they are openly fighting against us. The essence is out.

[Ash]

And let's take a slightly broader look at the facts, and the seeds sown by Stalin with the inclusion of the French in the list of winners, gave their shoots, after his death. And with the advent of de Gaulle to power, they bore fruit. And even though, even after leaving NATO, France had its own maneuvers with them, they still sought to build their own independent axis. And it remains to be regretted that De Gaulle failed to educate his followers, however, like Stalin.

Who are you, who naively thought? The French SS division Charlemagne was the last military unit to defend the Reichstag.

[Dkuznecov]

Independence for all colonial powers
ended with the signing of the Atlantic Charter in 1942.
Since then, the United States has become the only de facto colonial power.

For Germany - a little later, in Potsdam.

Destroy foreign equipment not at combat positions, but at the stage of unloading and transporting across the territory of Ukraine, immediately after crossing the border. posts.

Guess from three times, but what, in fact, prevents you from doing exactly as you suggest? It would be - more than logical. But alas....

[Silver99]

One !!! radar. How long will she live on the battlefield? How will heterogeneous radars collected from all countries be integrated with each other? What is the cover radius, only on the street. Banking?

Maybe you will destroy it then, what problems? Or are you used to yelling from the couch about useless NATO weapons? Well, it’s understandable from the sofa, then everything is well destroyed when it’s warm in itself, and on the front line this weapon mows down others ...

The answer to your question = - in quantity.
How many radars are needed, the same "Patriots" and God knows what else to create a full-fledged air defense? Not to mention the time they don't have.
Did he put one radar station and two "Patriots" near his bunker and, what the hell, integrate them somewhere?

Convenient - where he is, there and air defense.

[Ivan Fokin_2]

We warn you for the last time, otherwise we will express concern, like this.

What the English edition says

The GM200 operates as an air surveillance gap filler or a sensor for an air defense system. The GM200 also features a surface channel and a Rocket/Artillery/Mortar sense and warn capability

As I understand it, thousands of these systems are needed

[Skeptic3]

Millions of them are needed, millions!
I wonder how many mobile radars with a range of 250 km are in service with the RF Armed Forces?

[Uprun]

And why did such an interest arise in a citizen?

[Skeptic3]

Are there enemies around? Spies? What a horror)))

[Petr_Koldunov]

No, not around. Only from the west... And not spies. Just enemies. What kind of spies are they, if they are sitting in their caches of cissos ...

[Voronezh]

[/ quote] the question arises of who will service the equipment that is quite difficult to operate: [quote]

Who, who, vacationers.

NATO soldiers in Ukraine are just pipe dreams of turbopatriots.

This is the main problem, and not what and how much they have now delivered.
That's just from those who flicker on TV, NOBODY addressed specific questions to a specific person (namely, the President and Commander-in-Chief V.V. Putin) - HOW LONG?

[Ghost1]

Well, the West is happy with everything, there is a delay and an increase in victims, and the deliveries are designed for this. For us, this is bad, for the West, this is the desired effect.

France to give Ukraine ground master 200 (GM200) radar system

One and she will help Ukraine to establish air defense? Either the French have too high an opinion of their system, or an extremely ostentatious act. Something quiet about the supply of their tanks? "Peacemaker" Macron - the definition clearly does not fit him.

[Skeptic3]

The range of the radar is 250 km. Why shouldn't this help air defense?

[1erWahrheitsMinister_1984]

Ich kann nur hoffen, dass sehr unfreundliche, wohl feindliche
Staatenwie France, auf eine "ewige Liste" der Rache und
der Revanche in Russland gesetzt werden und auf der Liste
potenzieller und hoffentlich präventiver Atom Schläge ganz
wait oben rangieren...!!
Wir sollten nie vergessen, dass die unschuldigen Zivilisten im
Donbass und in anderen russischen Territorien weitüberwiegend
mit Waffen und Munition solcher Schwerverbrecher-Staaten und
von Gangstern Wie Macron getötet werden...!!

[Petr_Koldunov]

But can’t a drone fly in and fall, say, on a hangar with these geeks? Why can the States warn Iran like that, but we can't warn France?

[TermNachTer]

It is not very clear - will there be one radar or several? If one, then why? And what is the use of France in that, to test in a real combat situation?

[Skeptic3]

One radar station will close the "hole" in the radar field with a diameter of 500 km. Is this not enough?
