France Launches New Suffren-Class Nuclear Attack Submarine! – France’s newest nuclear-powered attack submarine, Rubis (S639), is the fifth Suffren-class submarine and a major upgrade over the older Rubis-class fleet. At around 99 metres long and 5,300 tonnes submerged, it combines improved stealth, extended underwater endurance, and advanced weapons including F21 heavyweight torpedoes, SM39 Exocet anti-ship missiles, and MdCN cruise missiles capable of striking land targets at ranges beyond 1,000 kilometres. Transferred to the launch facility in October 2026, Rubis still needs to complete final work, dockside checks, and sea trials before entering service.
