WHAT DOES FORCE DE FRAPPE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

force de frappe

Force de dissuasion

The Force de frappe, or Force de dissuasion after 1961, is the designation of what used to be a triad of air-, sea- and land-based nuclear weapons intended for dissuasion, the French term for deterrence. The French Nuclear Force, part of the Armed Forces of France, is the third largest nuclear-weapons force in the world, following the nuclear triads of the Russian Federation and the United States. France deactivated all landbased nuclear missiles. On 27 January 1996, France conducted its last nuclear test before signing the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in September 1996. In March 2008, President Nicolas Sarkozy confirmed reports giving the actual size of France's nuclear arsenal and he announced that France will reduce its French Air Force-carried nuclear arsenal by 30%, leaving the Force de Frappe with 250 warheads.
