💥The test was conducted yesterday from the DGA missile test site in Biscarrosse. According to DGA, a rocket was used for the test. The rocket was carrying the VMaX demonstrator. A Hypersonic Glide Vehicle is a type of warhead for ballistic missiles that can maneuver and glide at hypersonic speeds (in excess of Mach 5, often close to mach 20). Europe’s rocketry and missileering leading companies MBDA, ArianeGroup and Onera are taking part in the VMaX project.

🪖Chief of Staff of the Marine Nationale, Admiral Pierre Vandier, back in October 2020 shared some details on the project during a hearing at the French Senate:

🗣️The hypersonic threat is a major consideration for us. Having missiles of this type is essential in the naval combat of today and tomorrow. The Chinese, and to a lesser extent the Russians, have developed a number of hypersonic weapons. China is trying to show that this type of weapon could be effective against aircraft carriers, but, despite significant efforts in strategic communication on their part, there is currently no convincing demonstration. Targeting a vessel underway, at high speed, is a particularly complex challenge to solve. The Chinese also continue, in parallel, to invest in the design of new aircraft carriers. We are also working nationally on the subject of hyper-velocity missiles, the DGA “Direction Général de l’Armement” having programmed a hypersonic test firing. From the point of view of anti-missile defense, we favor the axis of the modernization of air defense frigates which will be effective in 2027 and 2028″.

🇷🇺🇻🇪 Wagner’s presence in Venezuela.
Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro defended Putin by condemning the Wagner revolt a few days ago. Caracas is one of those countries heavily sanctioned by the US in the world that have not condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A nation that relies on drug trafficking, raw materials and gold to survive. According to 'El Mundo', Wagner controls the fields in Venezuela, including the Russian oil company Rosnfet. Also according to the newspaper, Wagner was present in Venezuela between 2019 and 2022 as Maduro's bodyguard. Finally, military cooperation between Moscow and Caracas is strong, recalling the landing of Russian strategic bombers in Caracas in 2019.
