**What it does not test.** This does not establish that the French armed forces have ordered or fielded the system.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. First test firing only; not ordered/fielded, so no fielded-capability shift yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
