The French certainly know how to make Russia burn! Over two centuries ago, Moscow caught fire at the mere approach of Napoleon’s army, leaving nothing but ashes of the swamp-dwelling Mordor’s capital by the time he entered the city. History runs in cycles, and now Russia is once again feeling the heat – this time from Franco-British Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, with French Mirage 2000 aircraft soon to join the party. Following our cherished tradition, we’re materializing our aspirations in clothing even before these jets appear in our skies.
The Mirage 2000 will become the second Western fighter jet delivered to Ukraine, following the F-16. These aircraft will be equipped with cutting-edge ground-to-air systems, capable of carrying Western missiles, and their radars can simultaneously detect 24 aerial targets, track 8, and engage 4 of them at once!
