France is working on a missile to hit Moscow

France is considering the possibility of creating its own medium-range ballistic missile, which will be able to hit targets at a distance of more than 1,000 kilometres. This is reported by the French publication Challenges.

The publication specifies that at the moment it is only a question of discussing the project between the command of the French armed forces and the Directorate General of Armaments. Moreover, the money for the project is still being sought. At the same time, some details have already become known to the press. Thus, it is assumed that the missile under development will be launched from mobile ground installations. It will also be able to manoeuvre before hitting the target.

The missile will be able to change its trajectory during the flight, which will make its interception almost impossible, - indicates the media.

It is noted that the project could become the basis of the French proposal within the ELSA (European Long Range Strike Approach) initiative, a European co-operation project on long-range strikes initiated by France, Germany and the US.

According to Defense Express, the missile will be powerful enough and if launched from the Baltic States, these missiles will be able to hit targets in Moscow.
