Send more mirage....

That will be the logical assumption. There are currently around 6 in Ukraine. That number doesn't make any sense. A squadron is around 12-24 aircraft, while France has 37 Mirage 2000-5F's in service. We'll probably see all of them transferred in the coming years

Which other countries might have some they could be convinced to sell? My country, Denmark has been supplying F-16s to Ukraine, but if some country has a few Mirage 2000 sitting around unused, it would be nice to just buy them, have France fix them up, and give them to Ukraine.

dumpy pants will shut down systems on foreign owned f-35s. he is openly supporting his bro-romancer pootstain. Ukraine knows. wake up USA...this is the edge of destruction.

self-sustainability is a concept not just for Ukraine but also should be for Europe as well

You know what you've got to do ?

Canada will sell our F35 in exchange for European jets. US defense tech and hardware is compromised. Russia will sell the coding and tactical weaknesses to China, Iran and whoever else is willing to bid.

grace2002.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That's what you get for buying US weapons.

rythovia.bsky.social•10 hours ago

And there goes the F16 resale value, your are one nepotism gov away from trying to fly a paper weight.

podkin.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Of course. No one at war would rely entirely on a single supplier for its defence. Especially not a bunch of loonies.

The Mirsge arrive just in time. Now some Gripen would come in nicely ss well!

1heghost.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Time to give Ukraine Gripen ffs.

Will Europe ever buy US again?

klosters.bsky.social•10 hours ago

Good, and will be large sales increases for European military industry. American will loose all exports and Trump is very open with cutting down US military. Good luck

Thanks D Trump for boosting American manufacturing.

Own goal, dumbass.

Any european country would have to be insane to buy american military hardware from now on. Unless it's something really basic that doesn't require much in the way of maintenance or software upgrades.

rob-not-numbers.bsky.social•10 hours ago

As will everyone else around the world.

howardappel.bsky.social•4 hours ago

And other purchasers, scheduled/actual/potential, of American weapons are going to look at this shit and say, hold on, you have kill switches in what we BUY from you. All of a sudden, French, Swedish, Czech, and other weapons suppliers look a whole lot better, and cheaper. Thank you Mr asshole trump

docfelladay.bsky.social•9 hours ago

This idiot is undermining the entire US defense industry. Why would any country buy stuff from us that we can unilaterally disable?

ml-kurze.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Because Trump has stock in the Russian defence industry?

ichimendo.bsky.social•10 hours ago

That's why Ukraine should have gone for JAS Gripen also in the first place: much more reliable partner and a better suited jet for these circumstances, easy to maintain etc.
Don't buy american again.
