France to Train Ukrainian Pilots on Rafale Jets
French Minister of Armed Forces Catherine Vautrin has announced that France will commence training Ukrainian pilots on Rafale fighter jets starting next month. This follows a framework agreement signed between Ukraine and France in late 2025, allowing for the potential purchase of up to a hundred Rafale fighters by 2035. The initial phase of training is set to begin in November, though details on its duration and the number of participating pilots remain unclear.4 sourcesSee all sources
