Ukraine has received its first Mirage fighter jets from France. These arrived together with Ukrainian pilots who were trained in France, according to France's Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu on X.
The Ministry of Defense did not disclose exactly how many aircraft were delivered or how many fighter jets France intends to provide to the country attacked by Russia. French media reported, citing a budget report from the National Assembly in the fall, that France plans to hand over 6 of the 26 Mirage 2000-5 jets that the Air Force possesses.
First Mirage Fighter Jets Sent to Ukraine
Last summer, France's President Macron announced the delivery of Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets. They are intended to enable Ukraine to protect its ground and airspace. Before delivery, the jets were equipped with new equipment, including measures to counteract jamming signals.
