The United States has decided on the type of aircraft that will be provided to the Ukrainian air force. This was stated by the speaker of the Air Force Command Yuri Ignat on the air of the United News telethon.
We asked to give Ukraine such a weapon as a multi-purpose aircraft at the beginning of the Russian invasion. This is understandable, because without aviation, without reliable air cover, it is very difficult to carry out any military operations at all. The aviation theme has never left the agenda. The issue of supplying aircraft is constantly raised by the top military leadership of Ukraine, the leadership of the Ministry of Defense. This topic is constantly discussed by our representatives in various international circles. Our military pilots traveled to the United States, funds were allocated for the training of our pilots. The type of aircraft that is likely to be provided to Ukraine and the corresponding preparation time have already been determined,” Ignat said.
According to him, the aviation theme has never left the agenda. Ignat explained that it was not only about the training of flight personnel, but also about the training of aviation engineers.
This is a very important component that cannot be dispensed with. That is why this process is not as simple as the preparation of infrastructure – here, too, the Ministry of Infrastructure will be involved in order to prepare the infrastructure of our military airfields to receive such equipment. Every effort is being made to make our dream of switching to this aircraft come true as quickly as possible,” he added.
The day before, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the issue of providing aircraft to Ukraine has moved forward.
