On Monday, France began conducting its largest in recent years, the Polaris 2025 naval exercises, shifting operations to the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The exercises are conducted according to a complex and intense scenario involving simulated attacks on French naval ports, multinational naval battles and even amphibious operations on the coasts of England and France.
The main objective of the exercises was to test the readiness and coordination of the country's Navy to repel complex threats in a hypothetical large-scale conflict. NATO allies have also been invited to participate in Polaris 2025, which underscores the strategic importance of the exercises in the context of collective defense.
Particular attention is paid to scenarios simulating hybrid attacks on key infrastructure, including submarine bases and fleet control centers. The exercises demonstrated the ability of the French navy to operate both autonomously and in close cooperation with international partners while ensuring the country's interests in the North Atlantic.
Modern elements were also involved — unmanned surface and underwater vehicles, electronic warfare systems and new prototypes of fifth-generation ships, which makes Polaris 2025 not only a demonstration of strength, but also a testing ground for new technology.
