    Suuure, it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that France is the biggest arms manufacturer and exporter in the EU ;)

      Industry and logistics are an integral part of an army. It doesn’t stop at soldiers.

      That’s exactly what’s happening in Ukraine: EU lacks (military and other) industry to support a very capable soldiers.

      The fact that France still has an industry is because they understand the above and value defense. If others did too, Ukraine would be in a better military position.
