Information about the interest of the French in the Indian Pinaca as part of the search for a successor to the LRU multiple rocket launchers [appeared at the end of last year](https://defence24.pl/sily-zbrojne/francja-zainteresowana-artyleria-rakietowa-z-indii-analiza). This was rather a surprise for observers, due to the fact that Paris was expected to focus here primarily on [developing a home solution, or in the event of a failure of the work, buying the American M142 HIMARS](https://defence24.pl/przemysl/francja-opracuje-wlasna-artylerie-rakietowa-czy-zdazy). [In February, there were reports of advanced talks between the parties](https://defence24.pl/sily-zbrojne/francja-coraz-blizej-zakupu-artylerii-rakietowej-z-indii) about its possible acquisition, but this subject has died down over time.
