Etienne Marcuz wrote that the strategic oceanic force had conducted a launch of an M51.3 missile that very morning from the nuclear submarine Le Vigilant. According to him, this launch validated the ship's return to operational cycle after three years of maintenance and constituted the first operational launch of the M51.3 from a submarine. He specified that the launch in November 2023 was a qualification test conducted from the DGA land test center. Marcuz indicated that he created an infographic with CalvaireDrach, presenting the stages of the launch, from the transmission of the order to the impact of the re-entry vehicles — without their nuclear payload — in the Atlantic Ocean, 4,700 kilometers west of the launch area. He explained that the diagram was based on American documents and that differences might exist between the French M51 and the American Trident II D5 systems, even though their general principles were common. He added that the technical details concerned were protected by confidentiality and requested that CalvaireDrach be credited in case of reuse of the infographic. #M51 #Missile #ForceOcéaniqueStrategique (translated)

« La Russie continue sa campagne dangereuse d’actes hostiles contre les membres de l’Otan. Elle essaie d’affaiblir notre détermination et de faire cesser notre soutien à l’Ukraine. Mais la Russie est tenue en échec, elle échoue sur le champ de bataille comme elle échoue à saper notre unité et notre soutien à l’Ukraine »Le secrétaire général de l’Alliance atlantique, Mark Rutte, a quant à lui assuré que les attaques hybrides menées par la Russie contre les pays de l’Otan n’affaibliraient pas le soutien de l’organisation à l’Ukraine #Estonie #Russie #Otan
