There were no analogues of such exercises in the country yet. France is preparing the army for the possibility of entering a high intensity war.
Earlier it was reported that Paris was preparing to transfer a batch of AMX-10 heavy armored vehicles to Kiev, which foreign media wrote with reference to Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu. However, the exact number of equipment that the “partners” will send is not specified.
