As a reminder, Ukrainian pilots completed training on Mirage 2000-5F fighters in France in late December. The aircraft will be equipped with SCALP EG/Storm Shadow cruise missiles and French AASM adjusted bombs after modernisation. Ukrainian artillerymen are also actively using French Caesar air defence systems to strike at Russian troops' positions.
