The number of Miage 2000 aircraft that France has started to transmit to Ukraine is small. It can only affect a tactical situation in one of the directions.
In fact, these squadrons are transmitted for the period after the war. So the military expert, the resignation colonel Oleg Starikov commented UA.news starting supplies of French Mirage 2000 French fighters.
According to Starikov, in order for the aircraft to be transmitted to us, they have a need for something that the appropriate amount is required. We are only transferred about 20 units. This will only be enough for local and tactical success in one direction or another.
“The squadrons that pass to us – 20 with aircraft – can only affect one direction. For example, Pokrovsky or Kurakhivsky. This is necessary to solve tactical problems. And a lot depends on what specialization they will use. As I understand, as bombers. In order for the planes to bring some benefits, service and engineering staff are needed. We will assume that the required number of staff has already been prepared, although I am not very sure. Because engineers for such planes are prepared for 5 years. Quickly not work out. As far as I know, the same F-16 is a beautiful but whimsical plane. It is served 12-14 hours before departure, a team of 8-9 people. It is about the same here, ”the expert says.
Starikov reminds: “mirages” are not the most modern aircraft. They can rather be used as launching platforms like SCalp or Storm Shadow. This is “good”, says our interlocutor.
“The question is: who pays for it? If Ukraine – why should we take old aircraft if you can buy new ones? Perhaps not 20 units, but 10. But they will be new. Because new ones are not given yet. Well, I will finally say this: these planes – they are not in this war. They are for the postwar period. To restore the air forces after the war, ”the expert is sure.
Starikov also draws the public to the fact that each aircraft is unique, and it requires appropriate competencies. This is not the car he sat down and went. It takes a long time to study the combat aircraft. If the pilot from the cadet years studied on one plane and then put it on the other – there will be no great use. Therefore, it is not necessary to hope that after receiving new aircraft, Oleg Starikov summarized after receiving new aircraft.
Earlier, we wrote about the opinion on this issue of military expert Alexander Kochetkov.
