Hijacking the top comment to let people know this isn’t in response to any American threats, this is Naval Group, a French naval defense company, showing off their submarine because Canada is looking to spend 60 billion on twelve submarines. The plans for this purchase were publicly announced on July 10, 2024.
Ah shit, that’s the same company Australia had a deal with to buy diesel subs, before our fuckwit former PM reneged on the deal to create AUKUS and buy American nuclear subs.
Bonjour!

Here’s a French news article about the submarine, seeing as I couldn’t seem to find any sources in English.

I’ll take both reasons as canon, thank you very much
FTFY
without cannons, how will they fight?!?
Weird that they specify “conventionally powered” in the Canadian article since this is a nuclear powered sub.
