1:35 - Correction, the Danish II/JDR's 1st Company (Viking Company) that deployed is mounted on Piranha V wheeled APCs. That battalion's 4th Company is the one with CV9035s. It looks like their armored infantry battalions have 1 Piranha and 1 CV90 company.

France has a decent multirole army, they can accomplish any mission wherever they want on the planet at any time. France is one of the most reliable countries in Europe, and contrary to what Americans and anglo-saxons say, France has a unique diplomatic angle that allows them to negociate where the US can't. Instead of using it as an asset, NATO blames France for that. For instance, France opposed the Iraq invasion in 2003, if its allies had listened to its arguments (see De Villepin speech at UN, it's just prophetic), the world would probably be more peaceful now, especially the Middle-East. The fact that its allies won't trust the French to handle things they way is such a waste tbh. God bless France.
Could exist only one liberty Axe, one good axe, one head. Not two, one.
Do you think USA and UK wantd to be behind France on the truth? I think they prefer to be always #1, f*ck the truth.
mercii
It is more than "decent". It suffers from the lack of mass/quantity obviously like everyone else in Europe because of post-Cold War cuts (and we're all realizing we need to build up our militaries again) but France certainly has one of the best trained and experienced armies in the world.
❤️
The US and brits are to arrogant and believe they are always right they wont bother to listen. They focus on securing their oil in Iraq and don't care about the consequences, that is the difference between them in France. They make their intervention in conflicts swift e.g Mali and Afganistan and they get what they want quickly and then get out. They do not enter protracted conflicts like the US and UK ruining foreign relations, wasting human life, fighting for their defence conglomerates and natural resources instead of peace.
C'est cool de savoir qu'on parle de nous à l'étranger 🇨🇵👍
I heard on french TV, a french formerly NATO general has said that US and UK military command were astonished by the quick deployment of french units in Romania, and their level of readiness. It is said in diplomatic and military circles, less on public medias.
Lol croire encore les généraux français en 2023 + ne pas comprendre que les Anglo-saxons passent leur temps à mentir.

Your videos on the French army are always super interesting!
I feel like France doesnt get quite enough appreciation for their commitment towards defending the free world, especially from the anglo-american space. Theyre a reliable and trustworthy ally within the NATO alliance.
This is true. They've been the only country keeping up a strong military in Europe up until recently.
This is all the more true in the wake of AUKUS
Everybody is a scapegoat of somebody else on internet but internet is 99% just noise, comments from random people who have much less influence than they are dreaming.
I think what we Americans don’t like is the way the French handles things diplomatically. While everyone is on the same page, the French break rank, and say they won’t use their nukes. While everyone is clamping down on russia, the French are busy trying to save face for russia. They just tend to be a wild card and show our belly every time we are drawing lines on russia.
@@Reticulosis the problem seen from france especially after the post iraq 2003 bashing is that the USA does not accept an ally who may have another diplomatic or strategic vision. but rather looking for vassals who will follow them without ever having their own point of view

Pretty neat info and details laid out there, thanks brother! Kinda crazy to have 8 rotations within a span of 12-months for the French Army, it really helps them hone in their logistics skills and get prepared for whatever situation might arise in the future.

Please keep doing videos on the French military! There are all to few on TH-cam and you're doing a great job filling the gap!
Also nice to see Belgium being friendly supports once again.
"once again" ?
Very nice video ! I want to add that on Sea side, our "French CVN"/Carrier Naval Group was deployed in the adriatic sea to cover part of the red sea and i suppose, romania !
Note that France leads the riskiest deployment in NATO. Romania is right next door to Moldavia, where russia might intervene soon, and also has a land border with Ukraine. Odds of the French deployment seeing action is higher than any other baltic country or Poland. Anglos might bash us in public but they know France is by far the most capable military in NATO after the USA, and entrusted the most dangerous deployment.
@@kerdart351 Poland Armed Forces lack nukes be it submarine launched or air launched, a navy, an indigenous weapon industry from A to Z (concept,design,R&D, production), sovereign satellites, I could go on. Armed forces means air force, navy, amphibious corps (like marines) and army (land). Poland has a strong army, but buys foreign equipment and Polish things are lego bricks using a mix of USA, Israeli or european equipment built under license and repackaged/customized locally for Poland but that is it (think borsuk, Krab). I think polish Army has no combat helicopters, only air force and we talking old soviet ones, not in the same league as Apache/Tiger . Polish force is tiny and consists of aging F-16 and navy a glorified coast guard. Sure they have inflated their numbers, because of Ukraine war and have a lot of paramilitary reserves but then I compare French and Polish birth rate and immigration rate and Manpower wise, no one tops France in Europe or even the western world for the next 20 to 30 years. (Only usa has comparable demographics growth with healthy large millennial and gen Z cohort, but mostly due to immigration and not birth rate).
@@kerdart351 Poland Neutralize on it's own Russia?! No. Poland population is actually smaller than Ukraine's... I know people blindly cheerlead for Ukraine and think Russia already lost but no, Russia still has a huge Population and will throw bodies at the problem as usual. It can get Ugly for Ukraine, especially with 500-600k extra Russian soldiers coming to the front this summer. If we don't give enough weapons to Ukraine so they can reach a 10 to 1 kill death ratio, they will lose against russia. 3 to 4 K/D is not gonna cut it. By the end of 2023 we will know who is winning. Luckily Poland is part of NATO so it won't happen, but if Poland wasn't and Russia had attacked it I don't think they would fare much better than Ukraine. They can stop Russia for a couple of years.
Toujours au rdv!

France doesn't get enough credit here in the US. They seem to be more than pulling their weight within NATO.
It’s ok . France generally prefer to keep his military quiet . After all their army was named : « la grande muette »
@@stormbringer2840 le surnom "la grande muette" remonte en 1848, quand le droit de vote masculin est instauré, sont exclus, les religieux, les prisonniers et les militaires. En effet, les dirigeants de la 2ème république, ne voulaient pas que l'armée ait un rôle politique...
@@stormbringer2840 en vrai de nos jours ça a changé outre les infos donné par lol 13 on voit des militaires nous parles de leur expérience un peu partout a rennes il y a les cafés stratégiques par exemple, perso a ma fac des militaires vienne t assez souvent on a eu la chance de voire le général Michon en charge de l'op barkhane... Et puis il y a beaucoup de pub et de propagande autour de notre armée notamment de la mythique légion étrangère ou de nos parachutistes... Mais c'est vrai qu'il y a encore qq années on était un peu trop discret d'ailleurs le général que.j'ai rencontré a dit que c'était un des raisons de la fin de barkhane pas assez de propagande et de lutte contre les trolls.

Small correction: Viking Coy are currently mech-inf in Piranha V, not CV90.
I've added a correction to the pinned comment
Correction:
The french artillery regiment present since October is the 1st artillery regiment which use LRUs.
The Portuguese are also present in Romania. I thought they had been sent there from the beginning with the French
I was there in Romania from Feb 2022 til June 2022 with 2/2 cav and the french and Belgians were such amazing people to talk too. Even got one of the Belgian 1/3 lanciers patch
good job on getting the belgian beret right in the thumbnail
Nice video you made, it would be interesting to make a video for all eastern battle groups.
Hope you make a video about Nato wartime structure in 1989 ( cold war )
I have studied it recently and still quite confused
Thanks for reading

I love the belgian 1/3L ball
Nice video! Will you also make a video about the battle group in Lithuania lead by Germany?
Would love a video on the Canadian battlegroup in Latvia!
Awesome 😎
Now I wanna see about all the battle groups, especially that Italian one.
Could you please make one video about all other nato battlegroups ?
Kinda of a mess xd
But really good vid ! French forces really are underrated
the 93e RAM det was a SMDR drone section.
I knew when Switzerland and Sweden deployed troops that stuff got real.
The Dutch 11th Air Assault bde kept on sending company sized units to the Romanian eFP mission until the summer of '23.
Can you do a video about NOTHAG and CENTAG during the Cold War?
The problem is not that we are good or bad, but that we don't have enough troops, weapons and ammunition for this kind of war, we haven't since we started decreasing our defence budget in the 90's. Our politicians wanted to save money, and also to be honest we didn't expect Putin to do something crazy like this.
I would love to see a similar analysis of the 18th Airborne Corps deployment to Poland for the crises.
NATO have to switch to homogeneous national brigade structure for their mission deployments whenever possible. The variety of vehicles and weapons in multinational units may be quite a challenge in case of actual combat engagement with the Russians.
Wouldn't the frequent rotations cause logistics issue cycling various different equipment in and out for such short periods.
Quite the opposit when you think about it, it help to maintain a high level of skill for logistics and commandment
I'd like to know what the background music is on this vid.
I like the countryballs 😂🤣
Could you do a video about the Chinese Army?
are you gonna break down the other countries battle groups like Latvia, Lithuania , Poland?
I think there is currently a mechanical infantry battalion in France's task force in Romania
Just to drive in the point these units aren't your random ones. I mean french forein legion, some of the best figters also, and the alpine chasseurs, or any chasseurs, are ELITE too
I honestly love hearing about these allied deployments and how they'd coordinate together to potentially fight the Russians in the future. I especially love the historic names of some of the units...Viking, Welsh, hussars, foreign legion, etc.
The guy in charge of the logistics of these NATO battle groups must be having a nightmare of a time...
FULDA GAP, the return !
I would not call an APC capable 8x8 with 30mm autocanon and the Spike LR option.
Rosomak APC uses 0.50cal machinegun, or 40mm auto grenade laucher. May be even a PKT machinegun for 7,62 x 54mmR, or like in Polish version 7,62x51mm NATO.
It is partially a confusion of terms, Rosomak is called a KTO (Kołowy Transporter Opancerzony), an APC, regardless of the armament even though the 30mm version is clearly an IFV. If the Poles call it an APC I guess we can too, even though it is an IFV. We Czechs also in general suffer from this "call everything an APC" syndrome when people outside military call BVP (BMP) "obrněný transportér", an APC, even though it is literally called Infantry Fighting Vehicle :D
Well rosomak has both APC and IFV variants. Which is kinda left unclear since he said Rosomak APC, but picture is of Rosomak IFV. Looking at source of all true knowledge, wikipedia, list 17th Greater Poland Brigade to have Rosomak IFVs, not APCs. APC variant are armed with manual heavy machine gun or grenade machine gun turret. IFV instead has Oto Melara Hitfist autocannon turret, which is way more substantial unit- it is fully motorized, mechanized and stabilized turret driven by fire control system.
Though the official naming of KTO means APC, but well as said it is in many many variants. IFV, APC, self propelled mortar with turreted 120mm mortar, ambulance, command, recon, recovery etc. etc.
I depends on doctrine what it's called the Rosomak in the pic is an IFV but US strikers with 30mm are still considered apc not IFV.
@@TheoEvian In Polish military wheeled vehicle to be called IFV must have anti-tank guided missile, so Rosomak even with 30mm autocannon is still APC, this naming is mostly because of CFE treaty that limits how many tanks, IFVs, SPGs, planes and other stuff country can possess, to make it more flexible.

Very fascinating that France seems to be the active bulk of the defense of Eastern Europe. Of course if a battle really did start everyone would go on high alert and deployments would be coming from every quick reaction force available that has a land border with Ukraine.
I wouldn't say they're the bulk, they're just the focus of this video. There are a lot of other NATO forces in Central/Eastern Europe
Red Storm Rising II.
What astonish me about the current war in Ukraine and how news are spread, are how awfull people react to France in the conflict.
Especially through equipment sent. Before the invasion, France was the N°1 arm dealer of Ukraine, and that for over 5-10 years (Minus 2 years or so). 2nd, Despite the low amount of (really good, actually) equipment they send, it represent over 25 to 40% of their own supplies.
It just sadden me how in the era of information, people are so easily coming along the propaganda of the UK/US way of saying "We do way better than (Insert any country here, but mostly France).
Well good to see the production of the Caesar has been scaled up as of January for NATO members and Ukrainians.
As a french I'm always disturbing looking at anglophone press numbers about the help given to Ukraine. EU help don't come from nowhere. Who is behind EU one ?
What did you sell?
The most agressives views i have seen about France (shared with Deutschland) so far comes from Poland

Let a polish and a french who both knows history in the same room 5minute, they will come out with a french Europe project imediatly.
To this day, talk about Napoleon in front of a polish nationalist, he will kneel imediatly.
Does the equipment (tanks/ifv etc.) Rotates with the units, or does it stay on location for all the units to use?
It normally rotates. But in the case of France's 2021 deployment cycle with the 3-month stint, the tanks came from one regiment and the personnel cycled through over the year. As another example, when the Danes rotated their units after 6 months, a tank squadron replaced the mechanized company so completely different unit equipment. The type of battle group the Brits send also changes
And when the French 13e BCA company came in November 2022, they brought VHM articulated APCs to deal with the snow
@@BattleOrder thanks for explaining!
Some equipment stays, like the tanks, too heavy to rotate,or the tracked articulated vehicules of the mountain units that are able to endure snow and mud that stay for the winter rotations.
@@jean-pascalesparceil9008 TBF there is a direct rail link. It's not that hard to rotate.

Me waiting for thermonuclear to begin after china laserpointered a boat in the middle of nowhere:
I'm also waiting, but due to the Biden administration's incompetence.
I highly recommend saying Central-Eastern Europe, or just Central Europe when referring to UE's eastern countries. It might not be much of a difference to you, but for people in this countries calling them Eastern Europeans is basically like calling them russians.
Any country that was behind the iron curtain is considered eastern European.
Geographically there is western, central and eastern countries. Central Eastern mean nothing. They are central or Eastern countries. UE is political, Europe is geography. So, if a country is in Central Europe, but an eastern country of the UE, it's a central european country.
Ye nah we're Eastern European and so are you stop trying to run away from it
I'm French and I agree you are not eastern Europe, you ARE Europe, and central Europe in my view. We must protect Europe at all costs
If you look on a zoomed out map you will see compared to Russia and western Europe, Ukraine is central Europe
Prior to the invasion of Ukraine, I would have said that these Battalion size units would be nothing but speed bumps for the Russians, oh how wrong I would have been!

Still the best options for NATO now is to use mercenaries to intervene battle in Ukraine, they certainly have little or no political concern after all.
