French "super-soldiers"?
Does that mean the French military may one day in the distant future rise to almost Boy Scout level? Will they issue them white surrender flags instead of the piss-yellow bedsheets they currently use?
Be afraid... be VERY afraid...
... but I doubt I will be.
Kinda like the Chinese "super soldier" genetic experiments going on right now. Was talking to a fine young man today, and we decided that a 4 1/2 foot tall "super soldier" falls just as hard as a 4 1/2 foot tall regular soldier when a 5.56 zips through his brain pan at 3200 feet per second, whether there are any trees in the forest to witness it or not.
"Super soldiers" are, for the most part, someone's pipe dream. If they don't already have a natural ability and more importantly mind set, no amount of "augmentation" is going to make them any deadlier. There ARE "super soldiers" in existence, but nature make's 'em, not implanted tech.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
