    Le budget défense atteindra près de 41 milliards d'euros en 2022

    L'enveloppe budgétaire allouée à la défense en 2022 sera de nouveau en hausse pour atteindre près de 41 milliards d'euros, comme prévu par la Loi de programmation militaire (LPM), contre 39,2 milliards d'euros en 2021, a indiqué lundi la ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, lors de son discours de rentrée devant les personnels du ministère. « Depuis 2017, ce sont 26 milliards d'euros de plus qui auront été investis dans notre défense et nos armées. C'est considérable. C'est même historique. Et c'était nécessaire », a-t-elle souligné. D'une enveloppe globale de 295 milliards d'euros sur sept ans, la LPM 2019-2025 prévoit une nette hausse du budget défense après des années de déflation. Les hausses les plus importantes (+3 milliards par an) sont prévues à partir de 2023. « Il faudra continuer à se battre jusqu'au bout de cette Loi de programmation militaire qui doit nous emmener jusqu'en 2025 », a insisté Florence Parly.

    La France Avertit Que Les Nouveaux Drones Européens Doivent Avoir Un Prix Compétitif

    By Sameh PARIS (Reuters) – Un drone de nouvelle génération développé par plusieurs pays européens doit être proposé à un prix compétitif. Sinon, le projet de promotion de l'unité et de la force de l'Europe dans un monde de plus en plus incertain échouera, a prévenu lundi le ministre français de la Défense. La France et l'Allemagne sont les pionniers dans la mise au point d'un nouvel avion de combat habité destiné à remplacer l'avion de chasse Dassault Aviation Eurofighter Typhoon et Rafale, ainsi que de nombreuses armes connexes, notamment des drones. "Je tiens à dire aux entreprises que ce programme ne sera un succès que si le drone proposé est compétitif", a déclaré la secrétaire à la Défense, Florence Parly, lors d'un discours prononcé au salon aéronautique de Paris. "Ce n'est pas seulement un problème pour les acheteurs déjà en lice – la France, l'Allemagne, l'Espagne et l'Italie – mais également pour les futurs clients à l'exportation." Airbus, Dassault Aviation et Leonardo ont présenté en avril 2018 un premier modèle du drone MALE (Medium Altitude Long-Endurance) prévu au salon aéronautique de Berlin. Le drone à deux turbopropulseurs devrait entrer en service au milieu de la prochaine décennie et sera principalement destiné à la surveillance, bien qu'une version avec armes soit disponible en option. Les français Thales, italien Elettronica, allemand Hensoldt et espagnol Indra ont annoncé qu'ils s'uniraient pour offrir des fonctions d'information, de surveillance, de ciblage et de reconnaissance au drone.
