In recent days, an aviation enthusiast captured images of two Dassault Mirage 2000-5F fighter jets with no identification markings flying over the Lublin region in Poland. The sighting occurred shortly after the official confirmation of the first units of these jets being delivered by France to Ukraine.
Despite the limited quality of the photograph, it is possible to recognize the characteristic color scheme of the French Air and Space Force’s Mirage 2000-5F. Coincidentally, the French Air and Space Force shared images and videos on one of its social media accounts showing the transfer of these aircraft. Comparing the photo taken in Poland with the officially released images, one of the jets appears to match the Mirage 2000-5F with tail number “2-EX 40,” which previously belonged to the 1/2 Cigognes fighter squadron stationed at Luxeuil-Saint-Sauveur Air Base.

Both jets spotted in Poland are single-seat models, which could suggest that the training of Ukrainian pilots has been underway since late 2023 or early 2024. This possibility contradicts official statements from Paris, which denied any early transfer of these jets.
The sighting of these aircraft raises questions about the true extent of European military support for Ukraine and the logistics involved in delivering these aircraft. The presence of Mirage 2000-5F fighters with no official identification in Polish airspace suggests that the operational transition of these aircraft may be taking place discreetly and at an accelerated pace.
