There is no alternative: the French army lacks Ukrainian An-124 aircraft-General Mill

In France, they did not develop their own plane, which would have a load of more than 100 tons, but the project was closed in 2007. Due to a full-scale war, the Ukrainian An-124 is occupied by transportation, so the French are almost unable to regulate them. General Stefan Mill said Chief of Staff of French Air Force Staff that there was no alternative in the French army for Ukrainian broad-firmed transport aircraft An-124. Opex 360 reports this.

However, because of the full -scale war, their availability fell significantly. In addition, the publication claims that the An-124 aircraft is exhausted. The situation in France was known for a long time. Back in 2017, François Korni-Zentilla's expatate stated that the French army depends on strategic air transport. "Everyone succeeds that they do not see that in fact Ukrainians and Russians control the projection of our forces to external theaters," the deputy then said.

It is noted that in case of need for France there will be no broadcast aircraft that could be sent for transportation of military goods. Options include A-300-600st Beluga, but they are not adapted for military transportation. The country was a project for the development of a cargo aircraft A-380-800F, but was closed in 2007. He would have a load of up to 150 tons. Therefore, all that remains France is to use Beluga, whose carrier is limited by 47 tons.
