France’s New ASMPA-R Supersonic Nuclear Cruise Missiles!

James Kaufman, World News Report Today. France's new supersonic nuclear cruise missiles. French Navy Rafale M fighters have also now joined their Air Force counterparts as launch platforms for the updated nuclear-tipped ASMPAR. French authorities have provided the first real look at the latest version of the air-launched Monnaie Portée, an ASMP or medium-range air-to-surface ramjet-powered nuclear-armed cruise missile. Officials in France have also confirmed that the ASMP-A Rénové or the ASMP-A R variant is now in service with the country's Navy. The French Naval and Nuclear Aviation Force conducted a test launch of an ASMPAR without a live warhead earlier today as part of what was dubbed Operation Delmide. The test involved a simulated nuclear raid, according to Catherine Vautrin, France's Minister of Armed Forces. A separate statement from the Ministry of Armed Forces of France says that the ASMPAR officially joined the FANUS arsenal on November 10th. The first version of the ASMP-A R has already been operational since 2023 with Strategic Air Forces, part of the French Air Force and Space Force. Both services used Rafale variants as the launch platform for these missiles. French authorities did release pictures of an Air Force Rafale carrying an ASMP-A R last year around the first known test launch of the missile itself, however the weapon was entirely blurred out. A grainy image from the actual test was also released, but it was also low quality on purpose. So, there was very little discernible details. Obviously, here, we can get a very good look at the weapon itself. It actually says it is noteworthy that a portion of the French Navy's Rafale M fleet, the jet, has already had a nuclear mission with the older ASMP-A. I guess we'll have to wonder about that mission. France's sole aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is the only surface ship in NATO currently known to be capable of hosting nuclear weapons, but the ship does not conduct routine patrols with nuclear ASMP series missiles on board currently. In good times, all we needed were more nuclear missiles. It can now be stolen, traded, sold, etc. God bless. Share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible. Bizarro.
