The Ukrainian Air Force has received its first Dassault Mirage 2000 fighter jet, as confirmed by statements from the defense ministries of France and Ukraine. This marks Ukraine’s second acquisition of a Western-made fighter aircraft, following the arrival of the F-16 last summer.
On X, French Minister of the Armed Forces Sébastien Lecornu officially announced the arrival of the first Mirage 2000 in Ukraine.
Lecornu noted that French President Emmanuel Macron had announced plans to transfer an undisclosed number of these fighters to Ukraine on June 6, 2022, as reported at the time.
He added, “With Ukrainian pilots trained for several months in France on board, they will now be helping to defend the skies over Ukraine”
