The French "space command" will be placed under the French Air Force. Hmm, that sounds familiar...
To be more clear, the French Air Force will now become the Air and Space Force, and will REPLACE France's current Joint Space Command. Big changes.
Min. Parly has already provided details about the new French space command that it took months for DOD to answer about its own Space Force plans... they're planning for an initial 220 personnel to start up the new command, which will gradually build.
On top of all of the new command stuff: France to invest 700M Euro for a complete overhaul of its satellite capabilities by 2025.
In separate tweet Parly says "Space is another new frontier to defend. And we must be ready.
Y'all, this is fascinating.
