Unless there is a significant breakthrough somewhere then these are going to be almost useless, they are very vulnerable to artillery.
*Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet:*
1. *France: 99; being phased out but will remain in service.*
2. Germany: German Air Force – 93 (Alpha Jet A: Attack version originally used by Germany). A more austere upgrade program did proceed in its place, which integrated the AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missile and navigation computer upgrades, along with several minor airframe and equipment refinements, such as the addition of a jettisonable gun pod.
3. Portugal: 50 (Alpha Jet A, former Luftwaffe aircraft) acquired 1993. Retired 13 January 2018.
Potentially, Ukraine could do a lot of interesting things with this.

But when will we finally send Leclerc tanks?
