France has successfully test-fired an M51.3 long-range ballistic missile, boosting the credibility of France's nuclear deterrence capabilities, the defence ministry said on Sunday. The missile, which did not carry a nuclear weapon, was fired from the French army's Biscarosse missile testing site in southwest France and landed in the North Atlantic, «hundreds of kilometres from any coastline» the ministry said, without giving further detail. «The flight has allowed to confirm a major improvement of the missile which will contribute to the lasting credibility of France's oceanic deterrence in coming decades,» the ministry said in a statement on Sunday. It added that maintaining operational credibility of France's nuclear weapons is required given the international environment. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned the West that he would be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia. The M51.3 missile is an upgraded version of the M51, a three-stage sea-land strategic ballistic missile designed to be launched from French Navy submarines. The M51 was first test-fired from a ground base in 2006 and from a submarine in 2010, the year it was commissioned. The new M51.3 missile, which is expected to enter service around 2025, is developed by aerospace firm ArianeGroup, a joint venture between Airbus and French defence group Safran . Ballistic missiles are similar to rockets and follow elliptic trajectories after launch, often leaving the earth's atmosphere to reach lower space, unlike cruise missiles, which typically follow straight trajectories at low altitude, powered by continuous thrust until they reach their target.

Defence Minister Bill Blair says Canada needs to invest more in military capabilities amid “evolving” global security threats, and as the federal government attempts to pare down government spending across the board.Blair told an international crowd of military personnel, politicians and civil society leaders at the Halifax International Security Forum Friday that Canada needs to put “resources … behind our aspirations.”“We must step up to address these challenges, and to preserve peace and prosperity for our peoples,” Blair said, referencing Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Hamas conflict as well as heightened tensions with China.“We have a lot of work to do.”Blair’s comment could be read as an understatement.The Liberal government has yet to deliver a promised update to its 2017 defence policy – an update that was thought to be imminent at the last Halifax forum in 2022.The federal government is also looking for as much as $1 billion in savings from the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), as Treasury Board President Anita Anand – the former defence minister – attempts to rein in spending.At the same time, the CAF has been stretched thin both by domestic deployments in the wake of natural disasters and by Canada shipping equipment to Ukrainian forces trying to push back Russia’s invasion.Speaking to an aerospace industry conference earlier this month, Blair said he told officials that the long-awaited defence policy update needed more clarity in terms of where the Canadian government plans to spend money.Until that update is released, defence experts told Global News, it will be difficult for allies to take the Canadian government at its word when it comes to stepping up.“(Canada) has to show that it can
