Informing about negotiations with foreign partners in the supply of aircraft, Umerov noted that Ukraine explains the need based on the situation at the front.
“The enemy uses up to 300 aircraft, up to 300 helicopters, so we explain to our partners how many brigades or wings we need. We also explain to them rationally what platforms we need, what the weapons they should have.”
Let us remind you that the first group of Ukrainian pilots completed training in France.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the transfer of Mirage 2000 aircraft to Ukraine. According to him, a pilot training program will be provided. However, he did not name the exact number of Mirage 2000 that Ukraine may receive.
The Kremlin saw nothing “positive” in Macron’s remarks
