Amiral Prazuck : En envoyant des sous-marins près des côtes françaises, Moscou « affirme sa puissance »
"This 5 December, the Chief of Staff of the Navy (BMOC), Admiral Christophe Prazuck, returned on the recent statements by the Minister of Defence, Jean-Yves Le Drian, who according incursions Russian submarines in the Bay of Biscay challenged "our maritime patrol capability".
Thus, for Admiral Prazuck, these incursions are of the same nature as the flights of strategic Russian bombers near the airspace of the countries of NATO (including France).
"In the same way that they conduct long-range flights that come along our coasts and say: 'We are here, we are a European power, and world', they do the same thing under the sea, Explained the CEMM. Does this mean that the Russian submarines want to make their presence known?
"In terms of anti-submarine fighting, France has an exceptional level," said Admiral Prazuck. Especially with the multimission frigates (FREMM), whose performances "give us an advantage against the proliferation of submarines". He added, "We absolutely need these systems. "
Except that the number of FREMMs called into service within the French Navy has continued to plummet during the last Military Programming Laws (MPL). Now, eight ships of this type will be staffing the target of 15 frigates senior, affirmed by the last White Paper on Defence, to be achieved through the control of five frigates of intermediate size (FTI). However, these buildings will have robust anti-submarine capabilities.
However, the current capabilities of the Navy 'capacity to monitor some specific areas, such as the area around the aero-naval group including the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle when deployed, it is not possible To constantly monitor all French coasts and strategic locations, "said Admiral Prazuck, according to the report of his remarks broadcast by AFP.
"Prohibit a submarine from approaching an aircraft carrier, clean an area, be sure that there is no one in an area, or that if someone enters an area it will be detected , It can be obtained, "he continued. "But to make sure we hear everything that happens in Patagonia in Greenland, we can not," he said.
With regard to Russian naval power, the CEMM believes that it is "evidently developing" with "extremely powerful submarines". He added: "They [the Russians, note] have Kilo models in the Black Sea, half a dozen, and the Atlantic they have SNA [nuclear attack submarines, note], which are very Performance. "
"These are military capabilities while leading, they still employ so very thoughtful and mixed: there are areas where they are strong and where they can have a little competitive positions," said Admiral Prazuck."
