It's likely that France will reach out to the UAE in 2801, though it probably would rather not get involved directly if it doesn't have to, supplying the UAE with surplus equipment like the following: Sorry for the information overload, guys! If there's anything else on France's Army or Starfleet page you would want to see exported to the UAE, let me know and I'll see if it's possible! If the UAE wants France to get involved in the conflict directly, that's also possible, though its involvement is primarily going to be through the French Expeditionary Corps Mirus, which is charged with training recruits and preparing them for the fight against the DCP. They'd be using shiny new French technology, but they'd still lack experience.
 * C-39 Impériale Main Battle Tank Drones - Descended from France's MBT in the 2750's, the C-39's latest and last version delegates it to something of a spam tank built in enormous numbers. This gives commanders the tactical and strategic flexibility of having a pawn to sacrifice. This does not mean that it is a bad tank, however. Its gun is a terrific example of French engineering, capable of firing at a speed of 23 rounds per minute. Its major drawback is its decreased range, which is poor when compared to other tanks. The C-39 Impériale carries an ATGM, still enabling it to compete with other armor at range. Its armor is light, though reinforced with reactive armor and a shield. This makes it a highly maneuverable but fragile tank. Finally, the fact that it's a drone also engenders a few command and control problems, as they often do not possess the tactical or strategic awareness to not make gaffes or run straight into enemy fire, meaning that they need to be babysat by their operators at command.
 * Maxin 3C anti-air drone - To accompany the C-39 Impériale into combat, the French built its anti-air equivalent. The Maxin 3C fields France's Maxin 3 system, a reliable medium-range missile launcher capable of tracking four different targets at once. As a drone, the AI runs into similar problems as the C-39 Impériale, but it is a nice boon to have when it behaves.
 * Super Mirage 3 bomber - France is saving the bulk of these for export to its anti-DCP allies, but it would be willing to hand over a few if necessary.
 * Orléans-class carrier - Having been found wholly inadequate for hyperspatial combat, the Orléans- class is rapidly being pulled from service in the French Armed Forces. A really good combat carrier for battles in realspace, France will have loads of these it needs to get rid of.
 * Cassiel-class frigate - A staunch and capable line frigate, the Cassiel-class served in the French Armed Forces for forty years. Many were destroyed during the Tyranny War, and many were exported or donated afterwards, but there might still be a few left in a hangar somewhere. While old, the Cassiel-class can still hold its own against most early tier 2 opponents.
