France is accelerating the relocation of its military industry. Three weeks after the announcement that gunpowder for artillery weapons would henceforth be produced on tricolor ground, other parts of the army are now concerned.
According to Franceinfo, the Ministry of the Armed Forces is planning about twenty strategic redeployments. Among them: boat hulls, which France now orders in Eastern Europe, or explosives for large calibers, which are produced in Sweden, Italy or even Germany. As well as parts for some helicopter engines, turbine discs designed in the United States and then forged in England. “Soon, development and forging will be carried out in France at the Aubert et Duval factory located in Puy-de-Dome.“, clarifies Franceinfo.
“Do Much Faster, Much Better”
If the first pieces are not expected before 2025, then the cost has already been calculated. At least 250,000 euros per year for these turbine discs. Budget assumed by the state: In January, Emmanuel Macron announced an increase of more than a third of the future Law on Military Programming (LPM), approaching 400 billion euros between 2024 and 2030. On this occasion, the President of the Republic called on the armies and manufacturers “to do much faster, much better, sometimes at less cost” in the supply of military equipment.
The military industry, whose production capacity has been reduced to the limited needs of the past 30 years, despite 200,000 employees, should, in the opinion of the president, “to do things differently, drastically shortening production cycles without succumbing to over-sophistication.”

“The consumption of ammunition and the wear of equipment in battle requires rapid production and delivery”, emphasize in the Ministry of the Armed Forces, where meetings with manufacturers are associated with the identification of leverage. The goal is, for example, to reduce the production time for the Caesar cannon supplied to the Ukrainian army from 24 to 12 months, and for the shells it fires from 9 to 3 months.
