Cet avion français de 12h humilie le P-8 américain à 256 millions

The Atlantique 2 Standard 6 is Europe's only sovereign maritime patrol aircraft. While the UK was throwing £3.8 billion at the Nimrod MRA4 fiasco, and Germany was betraying the MAWS program to buy P-8 Poseidons from Boeing, France was quietly modernizing its 18 ATL2s with Thales' Searchmaster AESA radar—derived from the Rafale—and a next-generation acoustic system. The result: 12 hours of endurance, zero ITAR dependence, and a capability that no one in Europe can match. From the Nimrod being dismantled with an excavator to the €600 million P-8 for Denmark, this video tells the story of how France became the continent's last line of defense against submarines. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss anything!
