You are correct in saying you have better equipment and more than the Royal Navy. (but then who doesn't)
However, kit doesn't fight on it's own does it?
Somebody has to actually wield the weapon to make it fight.
The French military has, throughout history, often seemed strong on paper, but this has patently failed to translate into operational capability and results.
You have an entirely untested Military in recent times that has a very poor and extensive history of scuttling off when the Foie Gras runs out and the going gets tough.
This, of course, is why the people of the world, including you personally to some elementary degree, speak English and not French.

Stick to your cooking, striking and manipulation of the EC agricultural policy, and leave the fighting to those who are good at it.
