๐ซ๐ทโ๏ธ๐บ๐ฆ Macron says Ukraine plans to acquire 16 Rafale jets and SAMP/T NG air defense systems.
๐บ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ท
Ukraine is buying the first 16 Rafales from France โ but still wants all 100.
The first tranche will be funded through the EU Ukraine Support Loan, with Ukraine intending to fully exercise the 100-jet order volume agreed with France in 2025.
Package includes:
โข 16 Rafale fighters
โข AASM glide bombs
โข MICA air-to-air missiles
โข METEOR long-range air-to-air missiles
โข laser-guided anti-drone rockets
โข associated equipment and training
The anti-drone weapon is likely the French Aculeus-LG, a 68mm laser-guided SNEB rocket โ basically APKWS, but French.
The catch: it is not produced at anything like APKWS scale, so it is more expensive and less abundant.
๐จโโ๏ธ Pilot and technician training is expected to start before the end of 2026.
The first 4 jets should arrive after training is complete โ likely around 2028/2029.
๐ซ๐ท France will also loan, not donate, 2 SAMP/T batteries to Ukraine until Ukraine receives 2 new SAMP/T NG batteries bought through the same European loan mechanism.

Yedioth Ahronoth:
A series of developments in recent days indicate that the United States is raising its alert level in anticipation of a possible escalation with Iran, and perhaps even a return to all-out war. The reinforcement of US forces in the region, the arrival of refueling aircraft and fighter jets, the tightening of travel warnings for Middle Eastern countries, as well as reports of operational adjustments by the US military in light of lessons learned from the recent conflict, all point to significant preparations.
However, any escalation initiated by the US is likely to be under control by the midterm elections, but managing a controlled event with Iran is no easy task.

Yedioth Ahronoth:
Despite accumulating indicators, Israel is not rushing to conclude that another war is inevitable, and certainly not one that will necessarily involve it. The prevailing assessment within the military establishment is that Iran is not interested in opening a direct front against Israel at the present time. However, informed sources confirm that this is merely an assessment of the current situation, and that the reality in the Middle East could change in the near future.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGC-N):
Hours ago, four vessels, acting provocatively and with the support of American terrorists, attempted to disrupt maritime traffic and exit the Strait of Hormuz via an unsafe route after disabling their navigation systems and ignoring warnings from the Navy's Hormuz Strait monitoring base. Two of these vessels were intercepted and forced to stop, while the other two changed course.
The Strait of Hormuz is entirely under the control of this force, and the only safe passage is the designated and announced route. As previously announced, not a single drop of oil, gas, or chemical fertilizer will pass through the Strait of Hormuz without prior coordination and authorization.
Ships influenced by the statements of the American enemy and entering unsafe routes will inevitably be exposed to accidents.
