>All eyes are on the east. Ukraine was targeted on Thursday night by at least 58 Russian missiles and 194 drones, the Ukrainian army said on Friday morning, adding that French Mirage 2000 fighters, delivered by France last month, had been used for the first time to counter the attack.
>The Ukrainian air force said it had shot down at least 134 of these targets, including 34 missiles and 100 drones, at a time when the suspension of US military aid has raised fears of a weakening of Ukrainian air defense capabilities.
>“Fighter jets, in particular F-16s and Mirage 2000s, were also involved. It should be noted that the French fighters, which arrived in Ukraine only a month ago, took part for the first time in repelling an enemy air attack”, said the Ukrainian army.
>This “combined attack” mainly targeted “gas production sites” in Ukraine, it added. For its part, the Russian Defense Ministry said it had struck “energy and gas infrastructures” supplying Ukraine’s “military-industrial complex” during the night.
>This new wave of strikes comes after the suspension this week, amid tensions between Kiev and the administration of US President Donald Trump, of US military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Do you think they can “hijack” them by hitting them with their wings like pilots did during WW2 with V1 ? Or it exploses when something is nearby ?

Thank god we have France in team Europa! Saving our ass when we have been totally over reliant on US military protection for decades. France you were right all along, we owe you a sincere apology!

How did it take 18 months to train F-16 pilots and get them in this conflict and 2 months to do the same for the Mirages? I’ve driven a French car it’s not that straightforward 🙂

Brilliant. As a person from the USA I’m seething with anger over what is going on in my country right now, and for the terrible impact it has on Europe. Ukraine will prevail and only become stronger. Russia will continue sinking into irrelevance.

I’ve sat in one of those! My school had a French exchange and we got to visit an airbase where they let us sit in the cockpit.
