Reply to comment by damo_w15 in Australia and France announce joint plan to supply Ukraine with artillery shells by TheGuvnor247

The French also have nuclear subs and also submitted tenders for nuclear subs. Time will tell if the AUKUS deal delivers. I think there's already some delays. But Scomo's biggest fuck up is in diplomacy, apparently he didn't even have the balls to call Macron to tell him lol.

French boats need to be refueled every 6-8 years and can only be refueled in France. i'm sure you can understand why this would never be workable.

The French nuclear subs are shit. The diesel subs also were behind schedule and over budget.
