Danger signals about weapons the French brought in (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
red alerts
'danger signals' is the definition.
'about weapons the french brought in' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (common abbreviation for 'with reference to').
'weapons' becomes 'darts' (dart is a kind of weapon).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'brought in' is an insertion indicator.
'darts' enclosing 'le' is 'dalerts'.
're'+'dalerts'='RED ALERTS'
(Another definition for red alerts that I've seen is " States of readiness".)
