Germany is also going through a major re-vamping of their military. This has been well reported upon - for instance this:

PARIS (AP) — Ukraine on Monday signed a letter of intent to buy up to 100 Rafale warplanes from France over the next 10 years, the two leaders said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who signed the document with French President Emmanuel Macron, called it "a historic deal" at a joint news conference at the Elysée presidential palace. The letter states that Ukraine is considering the possibility of buying French defense equipment.

"Firstly, Ukraine will be able to receive 100 Rafale fighter jets (and) very strong French radars — eight air-defense systems SAMP/T, each with six launching systems," he said. "This is a strategic agreement that will work for 10 years, starting next year."

Macron added, "Today we're moving to a next step."

He said Monday's agreement includes the acquisition of France's latest-generation jet fighters with full armament, as well as accompanying training and production programs.

Don't take too seriously anything where Macron had to deal with. A letter of intention is not a plain Jane order.

In my opinion we are far from seeing a Rafale with Ukrainian roundel, if any.

I notably appreciate : The letter states that Ukraine is considering the possibility of buying French defense equipment. Thati s far from meaning a binding obligation.
