🔥 France has delivered MICA missiles and 30-mm ammunition for Mirage 2000 fighters to Ukraine, the country's Defense Ministry said

The MICA is an air-to-air missile designed to engage targets in close combat and beyond visual range. It accelerates to speeds of up to 4,9 Mach and can engage targets at ranges of 60–80 km. There are variants with radar and infrared guidance.

Ukraine also received shells for the two built-in 30-mm DEFA 554 cannons on the Mirage 2000, with a rate of fire of up to 1800 rounds per minute.

MICA missiles and the aircraft cannons allow the Mirage 2000 to shoot down "Shaheds" and cruise missiles, saving more expensive and scarce long-range munitions.

🔥 Франция передала Украине ракеты MICA и 30-мм боеприпасы для истребителей Mirage 2000, - Минобороны страны

MICA - ракета класса "воздух-воздух" для поражения целей в ближнем бою и за пределами прямой видимости. Она развивает скорость до 4,9 Маха и может поражать цели на расстоянии до 60-80 км. Есть версии с радиолокационным и инфракрасным наведением.

Также Украина получила снаряды для двух встроенных 30-мм пушек DEFA 554 на Mirage 2000 с темпом стрельбы до 1800 выстрелов в минуту.

Ракеты MICA и авиационные пушки позволяют Mirage 2000 сбивать "Шахеды" и крылатые ракеты, экономя более дорогие и дефицитные дальнобойные боеприпасы.
