Breaking barriers: synchronized missile tests heralds a new era in European defence capabilities

France’s recent demonstration of synchronized naval cruise missile launches marks a significant milestone in enhancing European naval capabilities.

On April 18, the French Navy demonstrated its advanced military capabilities by simultaneously launching the Naval Cruise Missile (MdCN) from two different platforms. According to the French Ministry of Defense, this marked the first instance where both a FREMM frigate, specifically the Aquitaine, and a Suffren-class nuclear attack submarine coordinated to strike a land-based target at the DGA missile test center in Landes.
