Ukraine is in luck. The Mirage 2000 fighters have become a fundamental tool to defend Ukrainian airspace of the missiles and launched by Russia.
Such is the satisfaction that the Ukrainian Air Forces have published a video in which the pilots and technicians have reviewed the main milestones that they have achieved since their arrival in Ukraine.
According to members of the Ukrainian forces, Magic 2 missile with which the Mirage 2000 fighter is equipped has been revealed as a practically infallible weapon in the Ukrainian war, with a success rate very close to 100%.
However, this high efficiency is also causing Russia is working on destroy these fighter planesso they must be constantly changed aerodromes.
The video makes it clear how highly valued the French fighter is among the Ukrainian forces. “Mirage aircraft are rare in the Ukrainian Air Force, so find one at an operational airfieldespecially during an active combat mission, “It’s a real stroke of luck for our crew.”stands out in the recording.
To get the most out of these fighters, Ukrainian pilots have received specific training in France. “For about six months, we trained to fly and use weapons in the two-seat Mirage 2000. Then we moved to the single-seat version, which I currently fly,” explains one of the pilots in the video.
The effectiveness of the aforementioned French fighter planes against Russian drones and missiles is located in the 98%some “impressive numbers”according to a Ukrainian pilot in the recording.
In that sense, the pilots have indicated that the only fighter that would surpass the performance of the Mirage 2000 would be the also French Rafale. “If I could change to a better plane, I would probably choose the Rafale. Since he is also French, the transition would be faster than switching to planes from other countries. The Rafale can also carry Meteor missiles, which are long range”one of the Ukrainian pilots details in the video.
