France aims to send French-made fighter jets to Kyiv in the first half of next year, Armed Forces Minister Sébastien Lecornu said.
"Mirage 2000s could be flying in Ukraine in the first half of 2025," he told Sud Ouest in an interview published late Monday.
Earlier this year, President Emmanuel Macron pledged to give Mirage 2000-5 jets to the war-torn country. Ukrainian pilots are already flying General Dynamics F-16s donated by European countries including the Netherlands and Denmark.
The French are tweaking their jets to make them more suitable for the war in Ukraine, Lecornu added. Mirage 2000s were originally designed to focus mostly on air-to-air combat.
"The aim is to equip them with air-to-ground combat capabilities. And to reinforce their electronic warfare system. But most important of all is the training of pilots and mechanics, which continues in Nancy," the French minister said.
The exact timetable of the deliveries will depend on how the training is going.
Both Macron and Lecornu have repeatedly refused to disclose how many warplanes would be sent to Ukraine.

French EW systems are quite capable.
They can also be trained here
Polygone - Wikipedia
All in all I think out engineering Russia is the way. I don't think they can keep up with proper new developments. They just lack to much: Skilled personnel, new know how, appliances, software etc pp
Problem is nobody over here works on that they are preoccupied in having fear of the little Putlers hollow threats.
I heard a Sarmat exploded right in her silo....so...what if 2/3 of their arsenal is non functioning?
Anyway speculations but what is really important is to blow the glide bombers out of the sky.
It will happen eventually I saw vids where you can see them approach what a joke not giving Ukraine the sufficient means to stop that.

Unique footage of simultaneous combat operations of the Ukrainian Patriot air defense system of American manufacture and the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system of Russia has been published. The Patriot air defense system division was deployed in the area of the settlement of Pashena Balka in the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine. It is worth noting that the Patriot air defense system was deployed with violations; the system should have been covered by other air defense systems to operate against small targets. Due to the lack of cover, the Russian Orlan-M UAV conducted unimpeded reconnaissance and guided missiles to the target. The Patriot air defense system crew detected the Iskander missiles and launched two interceptor missiles. The Patriot missiles went to the target, but due to the fact that the angle of approach of the Iskander-M missiles to the target exceeded 80 degrees, the guidance radar lost the target, and the guidance of the interceptor missiles ceased. As a result of the battle, Iskander missiles, using the air burst method, hit the AN/MRO-65 radar, the AN/MS0-104 combat control station and one Patriot SAM launcher. The extent of the damage is unclear, since the filming was done from a great distance.

Two houses in a residential streets in the Netherlands were shot at a total of ten times. This is quite a regular occurrence, but what is out of the ordinary is the weapon used: an AK-74 or AK-74M.
Weapons from the conflict are filtering down to common criminals.

Journalist Viktoria Roschina has died in Russian custody. She was just 27. Captured and imprisoned in the Russian-occupied zone of Ukraine’s Zaporizhia Oblast, she spent over a year in captivity. According to Ukraine’s military intel service, Viktoria was supposed to get back home soon as part of prisoner swaps between Russia and Ukraine.

Explaining in detail how Russians destabilization and propaganda net works.
Starting with Musk unknowingly starting to spread Russian propaganda over to the Atomangst aimed at NATO and the selected "peace" victim Germany.
