France provided Crotale air defense systems to Ukraine

Paris’s military aid has reached 550 million euros out of a total of three billion euros.

France has moved two Crotale anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine to protect the skies from Russian attacks. This was reported on November 20 by BFMTV in relation to French Defense Minister Sebastian Lecornu.

In an interview with Le Journal du Dimanche, the head of the Defense Ministry confirmed Kyiv’s unwavering support and clarified that Paris’s military aid has reached 550 million euros.

“In the sum of all our military aid, we are in the top five countries. We are one of the biggest donors with 550 million euros out of a total of three billion euros,” said Lecornu.

He recalled that since the beginning of the Russian invasion, France has sent Ukraine 18 Caesar self-propelled artillery mounts, Milan and Mistral missiles, about 60 VAB armored personnel carriers, HDP-2A2 anti-tank mines, protective equipment in case have a nuclear, biological or chemical threat, the latest night vision devices.

And in recent deliveries, Kyiv received two Crotale missile batteries for air defense and two multiple launch rocket systems.

Also, Paris is preparing to transfer 155-mm TRF1 howitzers and is considering a request from the Ukrainian army for the provision of radars.

In addition, a 200 million euro support fund approved by the French parliament will allow Ukraine to place defense orders with French companies and provide maintenance for the supplied weapons.

“It can also be used to purchase Bastion infantry fighting vehicles or pontoon crossings,” added the minister.

In addition to financial and material aid, France decided to train Ukrainian soldiers.

“Our goal is to start supporting 2,000 people out of the 15,000 proposed by the European Union. 400 Ukrainian soldiers have already been trained, especially with the equipment we provide,” said Lecornu.


Crotale is a French short-range all-weather anti-aircraft missile system designed to engage air targets at medium, low and very low altitude ranges.

It can be used both for air defense of strategically important fortresses, control centers, missile launch positions, and for direct coverage of troops.


It was previously reported that in the coming weeks, France will send six more Caesar self-propelled guns to Ukraine.

Macron pledged to immediately strengthen Ukraine’s air defense
