France to temporarily deploy nuclear aircraft to allies, boost warhead stockpile, under new defense strategy.
As part of a revised nuclear strategy aimed at enhancing NATO and European defense cooperation, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that France will permit the temporary deployment of its nuclear-armed aircraft to allies.
The action highlights that France will maintain complete control over its nuclear weapons, with no sharing of decision-making authority, and is meant to improve deterrence in the face of changing security challenges.
France intends to expand its stockpile of nuclear warheads beyond the current level of less than 300, and neither specific nations nor deployment schedules were revealed.
The announcement is a reflection of France's efforts to strengthen defense ties with allies while preserving strategic autonomy.
