This is reported by InsideOver, a newspaper specializing in international news. The Elysée’s move is a testament to the peak in Europe’s nuclear alert and appears as a sort of response to another alert issued by Moscow about its nuclear deterrent systems.
The Kremlin, 48 hours frominvasion of Ukraine, had announced that it had alerted its nuclear defenses. Now France is flexing its muscles. And the fact is somewhat unusual: Analysts have noted that there has been no precedent for such a decision in recent yearsElisha.
France has four viable submarines nuclear warheads. So far, at least two of them have remained in military ports. It never happened that three submarines were in the sea at the same time.
To reconstruct the movements of nuclear submarines was the newspaper Le Télégramme, which emphasized that the French alert is nothing more than a reflection of the tension that reigns everywhere old world.
How French nuclear submarines move
Until March 1st, France at sea, more precisely in the Atlantic, had only one submarine equipped with nuclear warheads. A condition that experts consider normal. Paris usually always has one SnleNg. So no special situation; now the circumstances are very different.

Currently there is only one SnleNg anchored in the port, a scenario that has never happened before. This means that the French armed forces and nuclear deterrent are on high alert.
Because the movements of nuclear submarines are not announced by the Elysée
The movements of the submarines are not officially disclosed by the French government. There is no institutional website of the Elysée or the Ministry of Defense reporting news on the movements of nuclear vehicles. Also, you won’t find an ad from anywhere maximum alarm condition.
In this case, too, those who have always closely followed the dynamics of the Paris leadership always explain everything in the norm. Confidentiality is the watchword in such transactions. On the other hand, the Elysée does not look with anger at the disclosure of news on the subject; useful information to show off your “muscles”.
But who exactly informs about the SNLE movements? Mostly these are local websites and newspapers. Le Telegrame It was the first place where the departure of the third French submarine was recorded.
