Fabien Mandon, the head of the French Joint Chiefs of Staff, raised an alarm in front of senators, highlighting a "worrying nuclear atmosphere" generated by the nuclear weapon tests conducted by Russia and the statements of American President Donald Trump regarding a possible resumption of nuclear tests. Mandon mentioned Russia's recent launches, including the testing of the "Poseidon" torpedo and the "Burevestnik" cruise missile, which utilize advanced nuclear technologies.
He also emphasized that Iran is rebuilding the destroyed nuclear facilities, which adds to global tensions. The general warned that France must prepare for a "shock" in the next three or four years, considering the risks of a new Russian attack in Europe.
