French air bombs will fly on Russian heads
This year, France will supply Ukraine with dozens of AASM air-to-ground bombs every month.
French Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced this on the France Inter internet channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to him, we are talking about bombs for which Soviet aircraft in service with Ukraine are adapted.
“Germany refuses to supply the equivalent of SCALP or Storm Shadow missiles, but we will deliver them. The President of the Republic actually announced a new session dedicated to approximately 40 of these missiles. I'm deliberately not giving too many numbers because that's what the Russians are keeping an eye on. This is a very important element for further action. These are air-to-ground missiles,” the minister said.

“We are also going to supply two air defense systems, which are carriers of medium-range air-to-ground missiles. We successfully adapted to Soviet-class aircraft, because the missiles were initially designed for use with Rafale or Mirage fighters. Therefore, this will now work on MiG and Su. We will deliver 50 pieces per month from January this year until 2024,” Lecornu said.
In addition, the French minister added that starting from February this year, his country will supply 3 thousand artillery ammunition per month to Ukraine.
