The Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets that Paris expects to give to Ukraine will be delivered in the first quarter of 2025, after the aircraft are modified and Ukrainian pilots and engineers are trained to use them, French Defence Minister Sebastien Lecorny announced today.
The number of aircraft in service with the French Air Force has not been specified.
Mirage 2000-5, which will fly in Ukrainian colors, must first acquire “new equipment,” the minister said on X.
According to information, the equipment refers mainly to SCALP cruise missiles and AASM Hammer bombs to conduct strike operations against ground targets, as well as advanced electronic warfare systems.
This equipment will be added to the Cajo Air Base, while the pilots and engineers who will come to learn the use of these aircraft will be trained at the Nancy base in eastern France.
