The French General Directorate of Armaments (DGA) has announced the delivery of six CAESAR Mk1 (6x6) artillery systems to the French Army, fulfilling its equipment plans for 2023. This replenishment comes in the wake of France's substantial military support to Ukraine, where 18 CAESAR artillery systems were sent from French military stock.

Over the last decade, NATO Allies have increased their defence spending and production, ramping up their stocks of weapons and ammunition. But we are still spending far less than during the Cold War, even though the threats to our freedom and security now are just as big, if not bigger.

 

While Russia’s arms industry is booming, our defence industry is still too small and too slow to meet the needs of the future. Now is the time to spend more, to accelerate the production lines and increase investments in innovation and in more modern capabilities.

 

 

As the war in Ukraine is on our doorstep and hostile actions against Allied countries are rising, the best way to keep our people safe is to invest more, better and faster together across the transatlantic defence industry.
