  1. So the Swedes were told to stop with the Gripens, but the Mirage is suddenly OK? The Gripens were built to fight back Russia, run on a minimal team and on a minimal runway, and to take the minimal service parts; all of which Ukraine desperately needs. WTF is going on in the background?

  2. Fantastic news! Anything and everything for Ukraine to drive out the Russians. Well done, France.

  4. Putin is going to be mega mad and probably say something

  5. There were rumors over a year ago that Ukrainians were training in France. I wonder if this is just a secret program that was going on before Sweden was in NATO

  7. “What could it be, it’s a mirage
    You’re scheming on a thing, that’s sabotage”
    —Macron

  10. Can you imagine being trained on Russian aircraft, then having to learn to fly American F-16s and/or French Mirages? Those are gonna be the world’s most cosmopolitan military pilots.

  13. Such a beautiful fighter. Elegant and effective at what it does. That gorgeous delta wing gets me every time. If war has to happen, I’m glad to see this plane still getting used. Maybe we will see Russia pull out the old mig21s and really get some cold war nostalgia going. Could you imagine a giant dog fight between mirage 2000 and mig21s in in the 2020s?

  14. Remember during the Korean War that Russia unofficially sent their pilots to fly for North Korea? Hmmm.

  16. This is good because it is a direct business deal with Dassault, which has become known for substantial technological knowledge transfers and industrial cooperation in its international deals, and it gets Ukraine training on a western NATO jets – weapons – technology. Five to six months says the president of France, with technical support and logistics, in the air in Ukraine before the end of the year.

    Mind the fact France has recently trained a completely new Croatian Rafale airforce (12 airplanes) in one year. All newbies, younger generation, learning from zero. Not only did they train all the technical and support staff, but trained several to the official trainer levels. Weaponry, electronic systems and radars, the whole deal.

  17. Having so much random military hardware is gonna be more of a pain in the ass than useful. Everyone should pitch in F-16s to consolidate training, repairs, support, etc.

  21. That awesome that France transferred these aircraft to Ukraine, it’s still a capable aircraft that can meet anything Russia has!

    Did these aircraft, Mirage 2000-5, the nuclear strike aircraft of the French Air Force?

  22. Welp, it’s been nice knowing y’all.

    Cant see Putin just saying ‘oh no, that sucks’

  24. Can someone who knows more about militaries tell me if sending Ukraine such a mix of planes and equipment is a good thing? Like do you have certain pilots who can only fly certain planes? How do you keep parts and tools for maintaining such a diverse fleet?
