Mirage 2000-5 aircrafts can strike at most vulnerable points of Russians - Forbes
The Mirage 2000-5 aircraft, which France has provided to Ukraine, are armed with SCALP-EG cruise missiles and can also carry Hammer cruise missiles. This will help expand the capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force to carry out deep strikes on Russian command posts.
According to Censor.NET, Forbes analyst David Axe writes about this.
The article says that this fact is crucial. The SCALP-EG weighs 1.3 tons and has a range of 250 km. With tandem warheads capable of penetrating bunkers, these missiles can hit the occupiers in their most vulnerable places - their headquarters.
In addition, the fighters can now carry Hammer bombs. But Aks emphasizes that Mirage 2000-5s will be useful if they have enough ammunition.
"It is unclear how many SCALP-EGs Ukraine has received from France and Italy. Perhaps only 100. It is also unclear how many missiles Ukraine has left after years of heavy fighting," he concluded.
On February 6, the first French Mirage 2000 fighter jets arrived in Ukraine.
