French Hammer XLR Explained: Ukraine’s Next Big Strike Weapon?

France just upgraded Ukraine’s favorite strike weapon… Russia won’t like this

In this video, I break down how France just made one of Ukraine’s favorite weapons even more dangerous.

I explain what the new multi-mode LIR seeker actually does, why it matters in a jamming-heavy battlefield, and how it gives Ukraine more flexibility against moving and concealed targets. We also get into the bigger story: France isn’t treating Hammer like a finished product. It’s evolving it in real time, and that has direct implications for Ukraine’s strike capability.

This is about three things: smarter weapons, longer reach, and more pressure on Russian forces.
