FRENCH MIRAGE-2000 FOR UKRAINE

Agreement for Ukraine to obtain Mirage-2000D ground attack versions has apparently been made.
France has been training Ukrainian pilots quietly for months.
The D version is specifically designed for ground strikes and they’re undergoing a mid-life upgrade to fully modernise them.
These are capable of launching a whole suite of ground attack systems including ScalpEG/Storm Shadow and Taurus, laser guided bombs and HARM type weapons.
Equipped with the latest NATO standard battlefield comms integration datalink, (LINK16), they can report battlefield operations back to commanders and be rapid updated on potential targets. These are also completely compatible with the F-16’s.
Mirage-2000D’s mid life refit includes major air to air upgrades. The D was a variant developed from the 2000N tactical nuclear delivery variant.
How long? Who knows? For Ukraine it can’t be sooner enough!

Vive La France 🇫🇷 et Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
