Counteraction to modern threats: France's army receives lessons from the war in Ukraine

In 2024, several initiatives were made in the regiments of the French Army Brigade. They were focused on the integration of advanced technologies, including digital control systems, advanced sensors and upgraded armored vehicles. Since the beginning of 2025, the 2nd Armored Brigade of Strasbourg has become a key element in the adaptation of the French armed forces to modern threats.

Under the command of the General of the Director Antonioza, a unit consisting of seven regiments increases his preparation for difficult fights. This was written on January 22 by L'ALSACE. The war in Ukraine, which changes European military strategies, has forced the French army to focus on integration of innovation.

The lessons of the Ukrainian conflict emphasized the important reality: the armed forces should be transformed to remain effective against well -equipped opponents, the analysts of the Army Recognition portal say. The headquarters of the French army outlined clear directives for 2024. The 2nd armored team from Strasbourg plays a key role in the protection and projection of the French forces. One of its defining tasks is the introduction of innovations directly in the field.

Today, the soldiers themselves are actively involved in testing new equipment and adaptation of available systems to operational realities. In 2024, several initiatives were made in the brigade regiments. They were focused on the integration of advanced technologies, including digital control systems, advanced sensors and upgraded armored vehicles. Intensive exercises have made it possible to test these innovations in difficult conditions that reflect what is happening in Ukraine.

These training sessions are also aimed at strengthening interaction with other French and union units. The innovation program improved coordination between units, widely used drones for intelligence and combat purposes and paid attention to cybersecurity. Preparation goes beyond technological achievements. Much attention is also paid to the physical and psychological readiness of the soldiers, which should be ready to act in difficult conditions.

Brigade regiments are involved in intensive exercises, often in cooperation with European colleagues to increase their stability and ability to adapt to unpredictable circumstances. Recall that the North Koreans took with them only chocolate and planned to survive thanks to the trophy ammunition of the Armed Forces. It was also reported that, according to a publication on the FBI website of December 24, in New York suddenly began training to eliminate the consequences of nuclear strike.
