巴黎，10月6日——法国国防部周二宣布，该国成功完成了最新一代M51.3型潜射弹道导弹的首次试射，此举意在当前与俄罗斯关系紧张的背景下强化自身的核威慑能力。
PARIS, Oct 6 - France's defence ministry said on Tuesday it had conducted the first test launch of its latest-generation M51.3 submarine-launched ballistic missile, underscoring its nuclear deterrent amid heightened tensions with Russia.
据国防部发布的声明，此次试射并未搭载核弹头。导弹从布列塔尼海岸附近发射，属于一项验证行动的一部分：旨在确认“警惕号”核潜艇在经历大规模维修后仍能顺利发射该型导弹。
The M51.3 missile, which was not equipped with a nuclear warhead, was launched off the coast of Brittany as part of an operation to certify the nuclear-submarine Le Vigilant's ability to deploy the weapon following a major maintenance overhaul, the ministry said in a statement.
声明强调，此次发射并未携带任何载荷，且完全符合法国所承担的各项国际义务。
It said the launch was conducted without a payload and in strict compliance with international obligations.
虽然公告中并未提及俄罗斯，但此次试射正值弗拉基米尔·普京总统上周向西方发出警告之后。普京警告称，西方若试图通过威胁俄罗斯飞地加里宁格勒来加剧乌克兰局势的紧张程度，俄罗斯将予以坚决回应。加里宁格勒地处欧盟成员国波兰与立陶宛之间，俄罗斯已明确表示必要时将动用核武器来保卫这一地区。
While the announcement made no mention of Russia, the test comes after President Vladimir Putin warned the West last week not to escalate a standoff over Ukraine by threatening the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, which is wedged between EU members Poland and Lithuania and which Moscow has made clear it would defend with nuclear weapons if necessary.
马克龙称传递了明确信号：法国实力更强了 北约方面则表示，其所有“演习与活动均不会对俄罗斯联邦领土构成威胁”。普京也强调，俄罗斯并无攻击任何欧洲国家的计划，只希望与各方和平共处。
MACRON HAILS CLEAR MESSAGE NATO has said none of its "exercises or activities pose a threat to the territory of the Russian Federation". Putin also said Russia had no plans to attack any European country and wanted to coexist peacefully.
“今天，我们变得更加强大。这一信息已经清晰明确地传递给了所有需要接收它的人，”法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙在一段发布于社交平台X上的视频中说道。视频中他正观看导弹发射过程。
"Today we are stronger. The message has been sent loud and clear for wherever it must be received,” President Emmanuel Macron said in a video on X showing him watching the launch.
今年3月，马克龙宣布法国将扩充核武库，并倡议与欧洲伙伴国开展联合演习，考虑在短期内将具备核打击能力的武器部署至盟国领土，同时加强相关磋商机制。
Macron said in March France would expand its nuclear arsenal and launched an initiative offering European partners joint exercises, the possible short-term deployment of nuclear-capable assets on allied territory and deeper consultation.
自那时起，“不惜付出代价捍卫法国的价值观与安全”便成为法国对外传达的一贯立场。
Since then, the message of being prepared to bear the costs of defending France's values and security has been a constant theme.
法国每年花费约56亿欧元（约合60.4亿美元）来维护其290枚潜射和空射武器的储备——这是世界第四大核武库。英国拥有225枚核弹头。俄罗斯和美国各自拥有超过5000枚。
France spends roughly €5.6 billion ($6.04 billion) a year to maintain its stockpile of 290 submarine- and air-launched weapons — the world's fourth-largest arsenal. Britain has 225 nuclear warheads. Russia and the United States have more than 5,000 each.
M51.3是该导弹的最新型号，于2025年10月作为法国核威慑现代化的一部分正式列装。
The M51.3 is the latest version of the missile that entered service in October 2025 as part of the modernisation of France's nuclear deterrent.
巴黎未披露M51.3的射程。公开资料显示，M51系列导弹的射程通常估计在9000公里（约5600英里）以上，而法国官员表示新型号射程更远。
Paris does not disclose the range of the M51.3. Publicly available estimates for the M51 family generally place its range at around 9,000 km (5,600 miles) or more, while French officials have said the new version can travel further.
法国维持着一个以空射和海射武器为基础的核武库，四艘弹道导弹核潜艇构成了其海洋威慑的中坚力量。
France maintains a nuclear arsenal based on air- and sea-launched weapons, with four ballistic missile submarines forming the backbone of its ocean deterrent.
