It might be worth studying French history not only to understand how the country moved from the post-war crisis to the current political and social upheavals, but also to get to know the French contribution to modern geopolitics. Moreover, the French developments keep reminding themselves: the Russian Ministry of Defense reported another downed cruise missile - the French Scalp. And we are talking about a mass of about 1.3 tons and the ability to hit in the interior of the country up to 500 km. So much for "secret reports".
