Many crews died, but that was to be expected. The french had a defensive strategy so what what could 60 of these assault aircrafts do against the Blitzkrieg? Besides the Brequet 693 was a modified version of the 691 which took many months to adapt. The 691 had engine and landing gear problemes, so by yhe time the 693 was ready it was too late to convince the government to built these planes on a large scale. Had they been faster, it would have been possible to send these assault aircrafts to the Finnish front.
