Loading ...Ukraine to buy 100 French fighter jets to boost defenses as Russia continues attacks, seizes more ground
Smiling on the tarmac of an airbase outside Paris, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a deal with French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday for his country to buy as many as 100 of France’s most advanced Rafale fighter jets over the next decade.
The aircraft is the best military jet that France has for air-to-air combat, missile interceptions and for longer-range strikes — capabilities that are crucial to defend Ukraine’s cities from Russia’s relentless missile and drone attacks going into the winter.
Time to hold a “pool” — 1) Will a single Rafale EVER be delivered to Ukraine? and 2) Will Ukraine survive long enough to have a single runway left on which to park it?
No and No
Talk about dumb and dumber…
