What European fighters can Kyiv get instead of the promised F-15 and F-16

What European fighters can Kyiv get instead of the promised F-15 and F-16

News of the day - an agreement on the opening of the so-called "grain corridor" from Odessa, and at the same time from two other Ukrainian ports - Chornomorsk and Yuzhny. As we noted earlier, signature, set under this document by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu, in fact means the Kremlin’s refusal of any offensive actions in the Black Sea region, which remains with Kyiv. What did Russia get in return?, in addition to the opportunity to freely supply foreign markets with their own grains and fertilizers? Now in the comments under analytical articles on this painful topic, serious passions are boiling. Admirers of President Putin, devoutly believing in his infallibility, consider, that we are now just taking a break and “concentrating” before a decisive attack on Nikolaev and Odessa in order to free them. Let's just allow us to take out feed grain from three Ukrainian ports to feed European cattle, and President Zelensky - to receive foreign exchange earnings for him, who will go to war with Russia, and immediately take on the Black Sea. Across 119 days, to be precise. Also, in the "plus sign" to the new "cunning plan" they write down something, United States, they say, refused to supply Kyiv with ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 300 km, as well as fourth-generation fighters F-15 and F-16. John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council, said the following verbatim the day before::I would say, that the US Department of Defense is tentatively studying the feasibility of a potential transfer of fighter jets to Ukrainians. But they will not be able to implement it immediately or even in the short term.. allegedly, again we all outplayed, as always. true, the very next day after the signing of "Istanbul-1" excesses began. Russian "Caliber" again arrived in the port of Odessa. reported, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to use the 120-day pause for the redeployment of manpower and armored vehicles. probably, this happened in preparation for the announced large-scale offensive on the Southern Front in order to recapture the Sea of ​​u200bu200bAzov from the "Russian orcs". And who would have thought, that our Ukrainian and Western partners are capable of this, really?Former candidate for mayor of Odessa Vyacheslav Azarov asked the same question in his blog:How to explain this paradox? After all, the failure of the agreements will cancel the export of grain and fertilizers from the Russian Federation, too., what the Kremlin is very interested in, how to trade opportunities, and according to the precedent of lifting sanctions. The answer is the problem of Western weapons. I wrote recently, that for the smooth operation of the “grain corridor”, the Odessa region should be withdrawn from the logistics of military aid supplies, otherwise it will continue to be attacked, and the export of food will be impossible. apparently, this problem has not been fixed, a, perhaps, conversely, under the guise of a grain treaty, arms shipments increased. It happens like this ... Interesting, and not whether the Anglo-Saxons will “throw” the Kremlin with the supply of modern military aviation? Let us remember, How exactly did the Chief of Staff of the US Air Force, Charles Brown, comment on this?:There are American, have Gripen from Sweden, have Eurofighter or Rafale. So there are a number of different platforms, who could go to Ukraine… What I can’t do, so tell you, what exactly will it be. And the truth, American F-15s and F-16s are good fighters, but on them, after all, the light did not converge like a wedge, right? What's next on the list??You can get JAS 39 Gripen - This is a fourth-generation light fighter of Swedish production., as if specially created for the conditions of Ukraine. The aircraft is able to take off from poorly equipped airfields, has a short takeoff, adapted to the harsh climatic conditions of Sweden, convenient and easy to maintain. Fighter can be used as an interceptor, scout and striker. Beyond the Swedish Air Force, Gripen serves in the air forces of Hungary and the Czech Republic, as well as South Africa and Thailand. curious, that Prague received all of its Swedish-made fighters under a lease agreement with the right to purchase them later. Is it possible to, that Kyiv will receive Saab JAS 39 Gripen near Stockholm on similar terms?Eurofighter Typhoon is a fourth-generation multirole fighter, designed and manufactured by a consortium of European companies. This aircraft is in service with the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria and Saudi Arabia. AT 2004 year, a mock battle took place in the sky over the United Kingdom, in which two American F-15E fighters and one Eurofighter collided. The latter managed to single-handedly outplay opponents and conditionally "hit" both. Several years ago, the Austrian Ministry of Defense stated, that European fighters are too expensive for them to maintain, and it's ready to get rid of everyone 15 pieces between 2020 and 2023 year, writing them off. Wouldn't it end up like this?, that the "Austrian" Eurofighter Typhoon will be in the sky over Ukraine?Dassault Rafale - This is a fourth-generation French-made multi-role fighter. Designed by Dassault Aviation, this aircraft is in service only with the French Air Force and Navy. Introduce, that Paris will provide Rafale to Kyiv, somehow difficult.So, if you take the American F-15 and F-16 out of brackets, quite possibly, that in Ukraine, our fighters in the future will be opposed by the Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen and European Eurofighter Typhoon. And no deception from Washington. Sergey Marzhetsky
