ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Joe Biden and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sign a bilateral security agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine on Thursday when they meet on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Italy, aiming to send a signal to Russia of American resolve in supporting Kyiv, the White House said as Biden was headed to Europe.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the agreement would not commit U.S. troops directly to Ukraine's defense against Russia's invasion — a red line drawn by Biden, who's fearful of being pulled into direct conflict between the nuclear-armed powers.

Announcement of the agreement comes as Biden heads to the summit of the world's leading democracies with an urgency to get big things done, including turning frozen Russian assets into billions of dollars to help Ukraine fight Russian President Vladimir Putin's war machine.

I can't see what the Super Etendard could do that the Mirage 2000-5 can't but can see things that the Mirage could but the Super Etendard can't.

Why add a new aircraft type of such limited value due capabilities and availability? Won't be more a liability than an asset? Is just a movement from Argentina to ask for something else?

After F-16s and Mirage 2000s, will the French-made Super Etendard strike jet be the next Western combat aircraft for Ukraine?

If nothing else they would make a great long range high speed drone

Ukraine could make better use of Argentina's Tanque Argentino Mediano. It uses the same 105mm NATO-spec ammunition as the UAF's Leopard I and ex-Slovenian M-55S tanks.

I wonder if the USAF is giving the Ukrainians insight into converting combat aircraft to autonomous drones?

The USAF has been using the QF-16 for a while, so they'd certainly have a head start on setting up the older, weary F-16s for this mission profile.
