At the initial stage, several dozen Western F-16 fighters may be transferred to Ukraine, Air Force spokesman Yuri Ignat said on the air of the telethon.
The historic decision to move the F-16 will be the impetus for our success. I hope it happens soon. In terms of volume, of course, no one will deliver these aircraft. These aircraft will be moved by units. Aviation units are not less than a squadron. In our version, it is 12 plus aircraft. Western partners have more squadrons – up to 18 aircraft. So, several dozen aircraft can be transferred to Ukraine first to solve the current problems,” said Ignat.
At the same time, he emphasized that the exact amount of the transferred equipment “will not be made public now.”
It can be recalled that US President Joe Biden confirmed his agreement to train Ukrainian pilots in the F-16 fighter during negotiations with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in Japan. Biden said he had received “strong assurances” from the Ukrainian president that the F-16s would not be used for attacks on Russian soil.
