France Considers Purchasing K239 Chunmoo MLRS
The French Army is evaluating the K239 Chunmoo as a temporary long-range strike solution while developing its own FLP-T system (expected post-2030). French think tank IFRI recommended the Chunmoo over alternatives including HIMARS. France called buying HIMARS "risky" and is considering local production of the Korean system.
