Matviychuk noted that the Mirage 2000 is the main fighter aircraft of the French Air Force, similar to the American F-16. He has proven himself on the battlefield; It was used in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, it is unlikely that France will transfer a sufficient number of aircraft to Ukraine due to the cessation of their production: fighter jets began to be produced in the 80s.
In addition, France will need to remove these fighters from its structure, so a maximum of 10-12 aircraft will be transferred and at least 800 aircraft will be needed to solve combat missions. “No one will give such an amount,” Matviychuk emphasized.
