While performing a flight, a Ukrainian Mirage 2000 fighter jet suffered a technical failure last night and crashed, Ukrinform reported, quoted by BTA, citing a post on the Telegram of the Ukrainian Air Force.
"On the evening of July 22, 2025, during a flight of a Mirage 2000 fighter jet, there was a technical failure of the aircraft, about which the pilot reported to the flight controller. After that, he acted according to the rules, as is customary in crisis situations, and successfully ejected", the Ukrainian Air Force post said.
A Ukrainian rescue team found the pilot, whose condition is stable. There were no injuries on the ground.
A special commission has been appointed to establish the causes of the aviation accident, the Ukrainian Air Force added.
According to reports in the Ukrainian media, the incident occurred in the northwestern Volyn region. This is the first loss of a "Mirage" fighter jet since the Ukrainian army began receiving them earlier this year, Reuters notes.
The U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets began arriving from various countries last year as Ukraine's Western allies sought to help
Kiev modernize its air force fleet, which consists mostly of Soviet-era aircraft.
Ukrinform also reported that the Ukrainian Air Force had received mobile maintenance complexes for F-16 fighters developed in Ukraine.
