"High intensity: what challenges for the French armed forces?

The return of high-intensity warfare, among other things, means that there is a growing demand for capabilities, and this means that we need to think about our ability to respond. What resources do we have to deal with this type of conflict, where nuclear weapons are not an option? High-intensity warfare requires a great deal of equipment and is characterised by high lethality, but also by the multiplicity of areas involved: from space to the seabed, from the battlefield to cyber. The author seeks to provide an overview of our needs in the event of a high-intensity conflict.
