USSR took France's nuclear arsenal very seriously, recently declassified documents of offensive plans over Europe the Soviets had showed that invading or or attacking French territory was strictly forbidden in fear or eliciting a nuclear response from them. The plan, if it had been put into motion, was mostly to blitz through Germany and maybe the Benelux, but stop at France, no matter how well the attack goes, without the use of nuclear weapons to then show the US that 'it's done, what are you gonna do about it?' and hope that they too won't resort to nuclear fire after.

@@vangorp9056 it just sounds so fucking dumb, the USSR could theoretically just beat the shit out of france in conventional warfare, but they feared them enough to not even try, meanwhile the USSR would very much not hesitate to fight against the US(even when in some instances they're a superior enemy.), you gotta respect france, the little guy that stood against wolves on both sides.

To all the people doing white flag jokes about France here is a reminder that the white flag (which was the French royal flag) became a symbol of capitulation in the middle age when the British were so scared of French soldiers that they waved the French flag meaning they don't want to fight
USSR was a bit confused concerning this little country we usually call France : France has been an independent nuclear power since the '60s. In case of a major Soviet offensive across Europe, some declassified files report that the Soviet troops would have stopped before the French border. Indeed France had "pluton" (tactical nukes on tanks) on the border, hidden in the forest, ready to fire on western Germany in case of a failure of the NATO defence. Then ICBM (plateau Albion), Nukes carried by supersonic bombers (Mirage IV 3:36) and SLBM (submarines ) would be launched if tactical nukes wouldn't have been enough so that it would have been the beginning of a nuclear war.

Their tanks could go toe to toe with the German Panzers and defeat them in the beginning of WW2. That's why the Germans tricked them with the Blitzkrieg. They also allowed the Germans to build up for months after they invaded Poland and prepared to invade France.

I see a lot of Russians mocking the French, but unlike Moscow, Paris is not 2000km from Berlin and given how much the soviets got pushed and they had every diplomatic and environmental advantage, they still lost 20 million people. The French army outperformed the Soviets by far.
Also, don't forget that the USSR was initialy an ally of Nazi Germany. One of the many reason as to why France didn't invade Germany in 1940 when they attacked Poland was BECAUSE of the fear of war with the USSR... so by allying Germany, the USSR made the war last 5 years, when it could have ended right at the start.

L'Angleterre et la France ont une histoire commune unique...d'Hastings à Waterloo. Une petite histoire : Lord Raglan qui commandait le corps expéditionnaire britannique en Crimée en 1853, qui combattait aux cotés des troupes françaises, rentra en agonie sur le théâtre d'opérations et demandait en plein délire à ses aides de camp : ou sont les français ? il avait combattu à Waterloo et y avait perdu un bras.

The famous Etendard IVP equipped with Exocet, which gave headache and stomachache too to our british cousins in the Malouins war. RIP HMS Sheffield and few others.
There's somthing about the French vehicles that makes me want to own one. An AMX-13, AML-90, Panhard EBR, etc.
Owning an old Etendard or Super Mystere would be a dream come true, but owning one really is just a dream. Doubtful you can find the documents needed to maintain one today and even more doubtful D'assault still makes parts for them. Nevermind just finding an actual airframe in the first place.

Those big red missiles are Exocets. Argentina used them in the Falklands, it was probably their most feared weapon. Super effective, especially considering the Argentinians only had like 12 of them in total.
And if I'm not mistaken the Argentinians had to assemble them themselves without proper instructions so some of then didn't even detonate.

@@omnianti0 Wut? Many Celts also fought naked.... it is in no way a Germanic thing. In fact, there wasn't that much difference culturally between the people in Gaul and those in Germania beyond Roman (Ceasar's really) propaganda. The difference only became preeminent after the annexation of Gaul by the Romans.

@@Itachi951000 The Franks were Germanic, but they never replaced the Gallo-Romans. They should be seen as overlords who replaced the Romans in the role of defender against other Germanic tribes. It was the Franks who assimilated into Gallo-Roman culture, adopting their language and religion, not the other way around. The gallo-romans in the late roman era had nothing in common with populations from across the Rhine.
@@elios4592 I don't mean to be rude but you should probably work on your reading comprehension. I never compared I basically said that there the Celts in Gaul weren't actually much different than their Germanic neighbours. The major cultural differences only arose after Gaul was conquered and romanized. I never mentioned christian Gallo-Romans and pagan germanic tribes to be similar, neither did I imply the Franks ethnically replacing Gallo-Romans. Read my previous comment again.

@@kenanfurcle786 Bonjour Kenan. La nostalgie ne suffit pas évidemment pour reconstruire la « Grande Nation » que fut la France. Cela dit, comme disait Alexis de Tocqueville : « Quand le passé n'éclaire plus l'avenir, l'esprit marche dans les ténèbres ». Et l’on peut, je crois, à l’aune de cette citation, méditer l’héritage aujourd’hui saccagé, que le Général de Gaulle et d’autres ont laissé à la France pour que notre pays rayonne : autonomie stratégique (énergétique, militaire, diplomatique,…), courage, fierté, respect des anciens, des traditions, des valeurs et de l’Histoire de France. Renouons avec ces concepts et nous retrouverons notre rang perdu. Mais pour l’instant, nous partons dans la direction opposée. Pas de quoi être optimiste donc…

I see a lot of Russians mocking the French, but unlike Moscow, Paris is not 2000km from Berlin and given how much the soviets got pushed and they had every diplomatic and environmental advantage, they still lost 20 million people. The French army outperformed the Soviets by far.
Also, don't forget that the USSR was initialy an ally of Nazi Germany. One of the many reason as to why France didn't invade Germany in 1940 when they attacked Poland was BECAUSE of the fear of war with the USSR... so by allying Germany, the USSR made the war last 5 years, when it could have ended right at the start.
