The battle for innovation is played out for civil aviation but also for military planes, all in a context of multiple conflicts and threats. The point with the Axel journalist in Tarlé.
Rarely a Le Bourget Salon had opened with military expenses in such high increase. “”+ 9% in 2024, beyond 2,300 billion euros worldwide, it is more than the GDP of Italy“, introduces the Axel journalist in Tarlé. The biggest budget is that of the United States, followed by China and Russia. In Europe, Germany comes out with”78 billion, up 28%“, Followed by the United Kingdom (72 billion) and France (57 billion).
Drones, fighter planes, air defense … What place does France occupy in the sector? “”In France, we know how to make everything “, continues the journalist, who quotes in the air the burst and the Mbda missiles, on earth the tanks like the Caesar cannon, and finally at sea the submarines, frigates and other aircraft carriers. France is thus the second exporter of weapons in the world, behind the United States.
The sector therefore generates surpluses for France: 28.7 billion for aeronautics and space, against, for example, 17 billion for cosmetics.
