Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Archange is intended to replace two Transall C-160G Gabriel SIGINT aircraft that were retired in May 2022, which had left a gap in France’s airborne signals-intelligence capability. The planned fleet of three Archange aircraft is expected to restore the service’s Electronic Warfare capabilities by 2030.
