🇫🇷🇺🇦 France to Deliver Six Mirage 2000-5F Fighters to Ukraine by Mid-2025
✈️ France will transfer six Mirage 2000-5F fighter jets to Ukraine by mid-2025, French MP Frank Giletti confirmed during a budget review. The aircraft will be delivered with a complete support package, including maintenance and operational readiness, according to Zone Militaire.
💪 These retired French fighters will provide a critical boost to Ukraine’s air force, currently dependent on aging Soviet-era MiG-29s and Su-24 bombers. The Mirage 2000-5Fs will complement Ukraine’s incoming F-16s and potentially enable precision strikes and advanced air defense in contested areas.
🛠 France is modifying the jets to carry air-to-ground munitions and upgrading their electronic warfare systems, making them versatile in offensive and defensive operations. Their advanced radar and targeting systems will improve Ukraine's capability to counter Russian air superiority and strike high-value targets, such as logistics hubs and command centers.
📈 This move signals France’s evolving defense posture and reinforces Western unity in strengthening Ukraine’s long-term defense against Russian aggression.
