France Evaluates Long-Range Ground Strike Capabilities (opex360.com)

• DGA reviewing bids from MBDA and ArianeGroup
• FLP-T program replaces legacy LRU systems
• Strategic shift toward long-range ballistic capability

"The French DGA is currently evaluating proposals from MBDA and ArianeGroup for the FLP-T (Long-Range Land Strike) program. This initiative aims to replace the current LRU rocket launchers and potentially integrate a long-range ballistic surface-to-surface missile capability as outlined in the 2024-30 Military Programming Law. A decision on the industrial path is expected by the end of April, marking a significant development for French land force power projection."
