France Delivers First Mirage Fighter Jets to Ukraine

The Mirage 2000-5 aircraft, along with U.S.-made F-16s, will bolster Ukraine's air defense against Russian aggression.

France has delivered its first Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets to Ukraine, as confirmed by French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu.
The exact number of jets delivered remains undisclosed, but reports suggest France plans to send six out of its fleet of 26 Mirage 2000-5 aircraft.
The Mirage jets were upgraded with modern equipment, including countermeasures against signal jamming, before being sent to Ukraine.
Ukrainian pilots trained in France for several months will operate the Mirage jets to strengthen the country's air defense capabilities.
The delivery complements earlier shipments of U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands and Denmark, with additional aircraft expected from other allies.
