I imagine that Macron is just doing this for public consumption at home. I'm pretty sure he's fully aware that China has nothing to do with North Korea's decisions so it's just a cheap way to look tough. This probably also goes for 90% of the times that Western leaders "say" things to China.

Just so you know I’m sure AVIC will be partial to J-10C/PL-15 sales if Macron asks nicely…

Are they going to set up shop in India for any kind of local assembly/production?

During the recent Franco-Swiss military exercise Zhannibal, the French Army's 5th Dragoon Regiment demonstrated new Leclerc XLR tanks equipped with "Mangal" protection for the first time in the Alps. The Leclerc XLR is the latest tank modification, and it appears that the French industry, like other countries, has not yet developed a fully functional anti-drone system. According to the military, this is the first Leclerc XLR tank with such anti-drone protection. It's worth noting that this simplified version of the protection is ineffective against drones.
