 Espionnage: The French Listen In To Their Allies as Well
Communications take place in space, and the satellites are spied on from the ground, by the French as well, who are past masters at the game.
The Americans are much more skilled than the French at this new espionnage battle, and particularly so as far as "big space ears" are concerned, which are satellites specially designed to intercept ground communications and capable of switching from one orbit to another according to the priority of the day.
The French do not operate in this satellite interception sphere, which is made up of both orbiting devices, the "space segment," and ground receiving stations, the "ground segment." Such systems are solely American and Russian, little being known about the latter.

It examines the characteristics and capabilities of the Mirage IV supersonic bomber, the planned ballistic missile submarine, and the land-based intermediate range ballistic missile system.
