To be feared, one must be powerful, says Macron as France test fires next-gen M51.3 nuclear-capable missile

France has successfully test-fired its next-generation M51.3 nuclear-capable missile, a move that marks a significant step in the country's nuclear capabilities. French President Emmanuel Macron described the launch as a demonstration of France's ability to maintain its strategic deterrence, sending a "clear message" to other nations. This development is likely to have implications for global security and may be viewed as a show of power by France in the face of rising tensions in the region.
