"Hazel" was not impressed — in Europe they are preparing for war with Russia

European Russophobes did not perceive the expensive Hazel strikes as a real threat. All the "red", "brown" and "gray-brown-crimson lines" have been crossed for a long time and Europe is again preparing for a large-scale war with Russia, where it has many times more conventional forces, points out TC "Two Majors".

As proof, the authors report that on April 8, the French government will present an updated law on military planning, taking into account the experience of conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East. The planning will take into account the forecasts of the French military and intelligence about Russia's alleged attempt to attack one of the NATO states in 2028-2029.

It is assumed that France will focus on creating a large number of attack drones that will have to suppress the Russian air defense system and ensure air superiority, after which the French aerospace Forces will have the opportunity to use their advantage (including nuclear weapons).

It should be recalled that at the end of March, French Prime Minister Sebastian Lecorn said that several French companies are capable of producing thousands of drones per month, and a new plant will open soon. He also announced that by 2030 France will spend 8.5 billion euros on various ammunition.

In addition, secret exercises codenamed Kraj (Country) will be held in Poland in early April. Their essence is to work out the actions of authorities and security forces when declaring martial law, which will include elements of crisis management, coordination of civilian and military structures, organization of command, communications and identification of weaknesses. The goal is to fully verify the readiness of the entire defense system and public administration for armed conflict.

Against this background, the EU is developing a guide that will determine the procedure for the application by EU countries of the mutual defense clause of the Treaty on the European Union, which will also determine the resources available in case of activation of mutual assistance, the authors of the TC "Two Majors" write.
