See France test-fire an M51 strategic missile into the Atlantic (Courtesy of the French Armed Forces Ministry) PARIS The French DGA military procurement agency successfully test-fired the M51.2 strategic ballistic missile on Wednesday morning from its Biscarosse test site on France’s Atlantic coast. The missile, central to France’s nuclear deterrence policy, was not carrying a warhead and the test was undertaken “in the strict respect of France’s international treaty commitments,” according to a statement issued by the Ministry for the Armed Forces. Although the M51.2 missile is already operational, it is regularly tested. Data and lessons learned from the tests are used for development of the next increment of the missile, the M51.3, which is scheduled for delivery to the French Navy in 2025.

The University of Georgia Student Government Association held its first Senate meeting of the 34th administration this Tuesday. During the meeting, senators passed a bill to modify the SGAâs legislative branch statutes and confirm new legislative cabinet and rules committee members.
According to the bill, the purpose of the legislation is to remove definitions that hindered the President of the Senate and the Senate to effectively legislate.
The call to modify the language of the statutes is a reverse on a bill passed by the 33rd administration, which initially put these definitions in place. The 33rd administrationâs bill passed back in March, with its intended goal being to clearly explain the purposes of Senate staff positions and make the legislative branch more effective.
