The Trump Administration Stopped Supporting the F-16, but the Mirage 2000 May Save the Situation – Forbes.
Ukraine May Receive Its Own EW Systems on Mirage 2000 Fighters from France
According to Forbes analyst David Ax, Ukraine has the opportunity to replace American electronic warfare (EW) systems on F-16 fighters with its own French systems on Mirage 2000 aircraft. Ukraine will receive new EW assets on these fighters from France.
The cessation of American support could affect the effectiveness of Ukrainian EW systems, as Russian air forces may adapt to the jamming by reprogramming their radars to different frequencies. However, the French EW systems on the Mirage 2000 turn out to be more powerful and effective compared to the American AN/ALQ-131 systems.
However, the conversion of Ukrainian F-16 fighters requires Time and funds that are currently not available. It should also be noted that Ukraine has used Western weapons for the first time in the fight against Russian 'Kalibr' missiles.
