The French president added that “massive investments” will be required to accommodate two rafale fighter squadlers, capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
France is expected to invest 1.5 billion euros in the modernization of the base, and by 2035 it will be placed F5 Rafale fighters, as well as hypersonic nuclear ASN4G Air Basics. It will also be doubled, up to 2000 people, base staff.
Nuclear weapons have been stored on the basis of Luxe-Sen-Sostor, but by 2011 Rafale fighters, which are nuclear weapons carriers, were bred from there.
The announcement of the storage of modern nuclear missiles at Luxe-Sen-Sovier Air Base, which is less than 200 kilometers from the German border, is a strategic signal, Politico writes.
It came after Macron expressed his readiness to offer France’s “nuclear umbrella” to protect other European countries.
In France, the deployment of nuclear weapons in Germany is not publicly allowed in Germany against the background of uncertainty about the future presence of US troops in Europe.
