Macron: France will deliver Aster missiles and Mirage fighter jets to Ukraine

France will deliver Aster anti-aircraft missiles and Mirage fighter jets to Ukraine in the coming days. French President Emmanuel Macron announced the news in a video conference of Kiev's allies. 

"We will deliver in the coming days additional Aster missiles, new Mirages and new training programs," Macron said, without sharing further details.

So far, France has delivered three of the six Mirage 2000 fighter jets it had promised to Ukraine, mainly for training Ukrainian pilots. One of them crashed in July.

The Aster 15 and 30 missiles are being produced in cooperation with Italy and operate with the SAMP/T MAMBA air defense system, the Italian-French equivalent of the American PATRIOT system. The two European countries have provided an unspecified number of missiles to the Ukrainians, who are seeking more for their defense.

"It is very important to continue efforts to support Ukraine and to put pressure on Russia," Macron stressed to the leaders of the Alliance of the Willing. This summit is co-chaired by Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. /CNA
