The Netherlands should seriously consider nuclear weapons considering what happened in Iran.
On a positive note our governments collapse faster than the US can blow them up! And they keep finding fools who want to be PM.
France nuclear deterrence was designed in the 1950s where there was no satellites, missiles were not guided, were not hyper-sonic, etc.
I guess a French nuclear missile would be easy to intercept with modern technology.
You think they’ve not made upgrades in 70 years?
France has very modern ICBMs. The active ones entered service in 2010 and are periodically upgraded [1]. They don't have hypersonic missiles, though.
