Ukraine has received a batch of Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets from France and additional F-16 jets from the Netherlands, according to President Zelenskyy. He praised President Macron for his support and emphasized the importance of these aircraft in enhancing Ukraine's air defense. While the exact number of Mirage jets delivered remains unspecified, discussions referenced potentially six aircraft. The incoming F-16s, sourced from the Netherlands, will also soon begin combat missions. Both aircraft types have been modified to address the specific combat needs and electronic warfare challenges faced by Ukraine.
The first Mirage 2000 jets from France have arrived, adding to our air defense capabilities. I thank French President Emmanuel Macron for his leadership and support.
Manned by Ukrainian pilots who have trained in France for several months, they will now participate in the defense of Ukraine's skies.
