Ukraine to see more Storm Shadow carriers: Paris sends first batch of Mirage 2000

6

Ukraine will receive the first French Mirage 2000-5F multirole fighters before Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. Avionslegendaires notes that the first batch of aircraft will include three aircraft.

Apparently, the first three units will be delivered by January 20, 2025. Some sources even suggest that they are already present in Ukraine, but so far only performing training flights.

- reports the resource.



It is also indicated that after modernization, the French fighters will be able to use SCALP-EG (Storm Shadow) cruise missiles. Apparently, the Ukrainian side will be able to use Mirage 2000-5F as a replacement for Su-24M, which are also carriers of such missiles. Thus, Kyiv will be able to increase the number of missiles used and, if necessary, replace aircraft that are out of order.

At the same time, training of Ukrainian pilots to operate American F-16 fighters continues. However, according to sources, the duration of such training is being reduced to three months. The West believes that the consequence of such "optimization" of the process will be gaps in pilot training and an increased risk of accidents and breakdowns equipmentAs a result, losses among flight personnel will increase and the number of fighters will decrease.

It is interesting to note that pilot training also includes a course in English, which will soon become the second official language in Ukraine.

    And as always, "our" authorities will declare that this "will not affect the course of the SVO in any way"! Yeah, the supplies of planes, tanks, guns, long-range missiles, drones, shells "will not affect" the course of the war!
    Therefore, in 3 years we only drove back the fascists by 30 km, and for 5 months now we have not driven them out of the Kursk region!
    At first they will deliver 3, then another 6, and another, and six F-16s have already been delivered. From the world on a string, an army for the khokhols!

    Well, they will tell Trump in Russia: We would be glad to end the war, but your macaroni and other radishes are escalating everything. Let them first return the favor, and then we will talk further. And here Trump will go into a stupor, because he will not be able to influence the macaroni and radishes. Apparently, they, the Europeans, have bad plans for Trump, since they do not listen to him. They can send their regards from John Kennedy. This is especially to be expected from the British.

    Nothing falls on Paris, so why not give the Mirages to Ukraine?!
    Just business.....
    And "Oreshnik" would have flown to the aircraft factory...with the inscription "With gratitude for helping Ukraine."

    It would be interesting to know where these carriers are based in Ukraine, or are they airfields in Poland and Romania, and the pilots are probably NATO. And why is everyone silent about the "legitimate" goals, we are waiting for the life-giving Trump.
