This isnโ€™t a show of force, itโ€™s a demonstration for Canada who is planning to buy a number of these submarines from France.

Yes, this old news is about a nuclear-powered attack submarine, not necessarily a submarine that can nuclear-attack.

IIRC only 2 out of the 9 french subs in service exclusively carry torpedoes and anti-ship missiles (Rubis class). I'm sure the 3 Suffren class with no second strike capabilities could still deliver some sort of short ranged tac nuke. So there are high chances that this is a submarine that can nuclear-attack.

France hasn't had tactical nukes for some time now
