They have lots and lots more of them. So nothing much to shout about there.

I would have to disagree.

It is not so much this particular target (Russian locomotive) as it is the capability to FPV targets large distances (50 to 75 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

Also, this demonstrates the ability to fly ISR drones large distances from the Ukrainian border...real-time target intel.

For example:

FPV strike on an electrical substation in the Kursk region in Russia.

Maybe some Gripens too.

Kyiv Independent reports:

“France will transfer an unspecified number of Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on June 6.

Speaking to French TV after the end of the 80th anniversary of D-Day commemorations in Normandy, Macron also said his country would train Ukrainian pilots.

“Tomorrow we will launch a new cooperation and announce the transfer of Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets to Ukraine made by French manufacturer Dassault and train their Ukrainian pilots in France,” he said during a live interview.

Macron did not specify how many planes Ukraine would receive or provide a timeline.”
