France Delivers First Mirage 2000 Fighter Jets to Ukraine

The aircraft, promised by President Macron in 2024, are equipped with advanced modifications and flown by Ukrainian pilots trained in France.

France has delivered the first Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets to Ukraine to bolster its air defense against Russia.
The delivery follows months of training for Ukrainian pilots and mechanics on the aircraft at French military bases.
The Mirage 2000-5 jets have been upgraded with air-to-ground combat capabilities and electronic warfare defenses to counter Russian jamming.
A total of six Mirage 2000-5 jets are expected to be transferred, though the exact number delivered so far has not been disclosed for security reasons.
Ukraine continues to request additional air defense resources as Russian attacks on critical infrastructure persist, with other nations also contributing fighter jets like the F-16.
