According to Politico, the French military’s major exercise, involving a simulation of high-pressure combat with an enemy of equal firepower, is currently underway at the CENTAC training center in Mai-le-Camp in the east. France is holding.
Alex Dennis, the commander of this military training center, said: The world has exposed its true nature; Unstable, dangerous and a place where no one is a friend. We are alert and ready to react with immediate warning.
