Fear of war on the Seine. ‘France is not ready’

With the intensifying of Russian attacks in Ukraine, as well as the threat of a kinetic confrontation between Russia and NATO by 2029, France is increasingly assessing the state of its security. Recently, she had the chance to do so during the La REF 2026 gathering held on 26-27 August in Paris. In the course of this, French General Fabien Mandon assessed that France was not prepared to face the dangers of the drone war, and the French counterintelligence chief warned against violent attacks in Europe as part of the hybrid war.
