Ukraine will receive the first Mirage 2000 fighter jets from France in the first quarter of 2025, French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Oct. 8.

French President Emmanuel Macron unveiled in June that Paris would provide Kyiv with an unspecified number of Mirage 2000-5 planes to boost its airpower.

The planes "will be equipped with new equipment: air-to-ground combat capabilities and anti-electronic warfare defense," Lecornu noted.

"The training of Ukrainian pilots and mechanics continues."

Ukraine is now using the Corvo Precision Payload Delivery System (PPDS)—a stealthy, ultra-light drone made of waxed cardboard from Australia—to strike Russian airfields. In this video, I break down how this $700-$3,000 drone, which can be assembled like a flatpack IKEA-type kit, is wreaking havoc on multi-million dollar Russian fighter jets.

Five pairs of camouflage pants, intercepted by Lithuanian customs officials on October 2 2024 and intended for Russia, are seen laid out on a sidewalk.

Customs of the Republic of Lithuania Lithuanian customs said it intercepted military supplies leaving the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. It said the supplies were likely volunteer donations meant for Russia's army. It gave them to Ukraine. Lithuania, once part of the Soviet Union, is one of Ukraine's largest donors in terms of GDP. Advertisement Lithuanian customs officials said they intercepted shipments of military supplies en route by rail to Moscow — and sent them straight to Ukraine.

Customs officials inspecting carriages on Lithuania's southwestern border said that between September 27 and Wednesday, they found parcels of camouflage pants and nets in four separate shipments.

They said the trains were traveling from Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave bordering Lithuania and Poland, to Moscow.

A map showing Kaliningrad highlighted in a map of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Belarus Lithuania is the most direct route for goods passing from Kaliningrad to Russia. Google Maps The officials said that the cargo was classified as military and needed a special permit and that the shipments were likely sent by Russian volunteer groups trying to support President Vladimir Putin's war effort.

The Kyiv Independent reported a train carriage was recently graffitied with a "Z" — a symbol used by the Russian military — and another carried a message saying Lithuania's capital, Vilnius, is a "Russian city."

In terms of aid sent to Ukraine as a percentage of GDP, it comes in behind only Denmark and Estonia, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy's aid tracker.

Advertisement The tracker said that Lithuania had sent $812 million in military aid and $110 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine between the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 and June this year, amounting to 1.43% of Lithuania's GDP.

While the US has sent far more — about $75 billion in combined military, humanitarian, and financial aid in the same timeframe — that sum represents about 0.35% of US GDP, per the tracker.

In March, Lithuania's prime minister, Ingrida Šimonytė, told Business Insider: "If Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, then whatever happens next is Europe's problem at large."

Lithuania is among several NATO countries bordering Russia that are readying for a Russian invasion, ramping up their military spending and constructing a defensive line along the collective 1,000 miles of border between Russia and Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia.

An up-armored Ukrainian M-1 Abrams. An up-armored Ukrainian M-1 Abrams.47th Mechanized Brigade capture After fighting in many of the bloodiest battles in Russia’s wider war on Ukraine for 15 months straight, the Ukrainian army’s elite 47th Mechanized Brigade finally rotated off the eastern front line early last month for a well-earned period of rest and reset.

The brigade took with it the survivors of 31 American-made M-1 Abrams tanks that equipped the unit’s sole tank battalion. Those tanks have gotten some badly needed upgrades.

A video the 47th Mechanized Brigade posted on or around Monday depicts some of the unit’s surviving tanks in training. The 69-ton, four-person M-1s sport U.S.-made reactive armor blocks on their sides and Ukrainian-made reactive armor blocks on their turrets as locally-crafted anti-drone cage armor and drone-grounding radio jammers.

Ukraine’s 2000s-vintage M-1A1 Situational Awareness models aren’t the best-protected Abrams—that honorific belongs to the latest U.S. Army M-1A2s—but the Ukrainian Abrams might be the most modified. The modifications are tailored for defeating two main threats: anti-tank missiles and explosive drones. The reactive armor explodes outward to deflect the missiles’ warheads. The cage armor and jammer disable and block explosive drones.

In piling mods onto its Abrams, the 47th Mechanized Brigade is doing its best to preserve the tanks it has left for as long as it can. The United States has obligingly shipped hundreds of surplus M-2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in order to keep the 47th Mechanized Brigade’s assault battalions fully equipped with modern vehicles despite those battalions suffering heavy losses.

Weirdly, the United States has not shipped replacement M-1s. Those first 31 Abrams, which arrived in Ukraine a year ago, are the only Abrams the Americans have pledged, despite there being literally thousands of the tanks in storage in the United States.

How many M-1s the 47th Mechanized Brigade has left is unclear. The analysts at the intelligence collective Oryx have tallied six destroyed Abrams and eight damaged or abandoned ones. It’s typical for tank units to try to tow away and repair immobilized vehicles, but it’s hard to say how many of its abandoned Abrams the 47th Mechanized Brigade managed to recover as it fought mostly rearguard actions in eastern Ukraine from last winter through the early fall.

At most, the 47th Mechanized Brigade has 25 M-1s left. At a minimum, it might have just 17. But it’s a safe bet all the survivors now have the add-on armor and jammers. They’ll roll back into battle better-protected than ever—potentially delaying the day when the brigade has too few tanks to form a cohesive fighting force.

If the 47th Mechanized Brigade gets more Abrams, they might not come from the United States—but from Australia. While the Americans haven’t signaled a willingness to transfer more tanks, the Australians are reportedly considering donating 59 surplus M-1A1SAs that recently retired from the Australian army.

With 59 fresh Abrams, the 47th Mechanized could replenish its existing tank battalion—and possibly form a second battalion, too. Unless and until that happens, those 14 to 25 survivors of the original 31 Ukrainian M-1s will have to soldier on alone.
