Kiev claims first combat use of French jets

Ukraine has deployed French-supplied Mirage 2000 fighter jets in combat for the first time, Air Force spokesman Yury Ignat announced on Friday. The aircraft were used overnight to counter a large-scale Russian attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the spokesman stated.
Kiev received its first batch of fourth-generation jets from France last month. Last October, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu confirmed that Ukrainian pilots were being trained in France to operate the aircraft.
