France has significantly enhanced the combat potential of Mirage aircraft for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Ukraine has received modified supersonic Mirage 2000-5 aircraft from France
France has sent modified supersonic Mirage 2000-5 aircraft to Ukraine, which are armed with SCALP-EG cruise missiles. This significantly enhances the capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force to carry out deep strikes against Russian command points. The weight of these missiles is 1.3 tons, and their range is 250 km. Tandem warhead explosives allow for bunker penetration, enabling strikes on the enemy's most vulnerable points, including their headquarters.
Additionally, the modified Mirage 2000-5 aircraft can carry Hammer bombs. However, it is important to have a sufficient quantity of ammunition for these aircraft. Unfortunately, it is unknown how many SCALP-EG missiles Ukraine has received from France and Italy. There is a possibility that it is only 100 missiles. It is also unclear how many missiles remain in Ukraine after prolonged combat operations.
