    This announcements irritates me. Didn’t France announce it right after the UK announced it, months ago?

    I remember after the first reported Storm Shadow hits and discovered wreck pieces, everyone was eager to see if there are English or French markings on them.

        Well did they announce it months back or not? Did they deliver or not?

        Announcing it now makes it look like they did not deliver or follow through months ago, which is why I am asking here for more information. This announcement is a bit irritating.

          Macron said

          J’ai pris la décision d’accroître les livraisons d’aides et d’équipements militaires et (…) de permettre d’accroître les capacités de frappe dans la profondeur

          Translation:

          I have taken the decision to increase deliveries of military aids and equipment and (…) to increase deep strike capabilities.

          What was said to be delivered has been delivered. What is coming is more weapons, some with long-range capabilities.
